EDITORS COMMENTS
Opal Nuttall, a fearless woman skier, is captured in this vintage print as she prepares to compete in the thrilling ski jumping contest at Pales Park Hills. The image takes us back to January 7,1928, in Chicago, Illinois, where Opal showcases her athletic prowess amidst the snowy woods. Dressed in classic ski wear of the era and carrying her equipment on her shoulders with determination etched on her face, Opal epitomizes strength and resilience. As a Caucasian athlete hailing from North America's United States, she stands alone as the sole female participant in this exhilarating winter sports event. The historic significance of this photograph lies not only in its monochromatic charm but also in capturing an era when women were breaking barriers by engaging in competitive activities traditionally dominated by men. Opal's presence challenges societal norms while inspiring others to push their limits. Amidst the fun-filled atmosphere of daytime recreation and leisure pursuits, Opal symbolizes courage and tenacity. Her hat adds a touch of elegance to her adventurous spirit. This single woman embodies the spirit of competition against nature's elements while showcasing her skills on snow-covered slopes. As we delve into this snapshot from Underwood Archives' collection courtesy of Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to a time when winter sports were emerging as popular recreational activities for both men and women alike.
