"Raising Hell Roaring" chronicles our regional history of skiing from Logan Pass to the Cabinet Range. You don't hear much about skiing in the Cabinets, especially back in the 1940's. This amazingly artful photo is from a Cabinet Range ski outing, ca. 1946. This is just a sampling from the slide show Pat Muri will present at the encore showing of "Raising Hell Roaring" on February 26, 7:00 PM at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center.
