Skiing becomes more widespread as some workers take the mine train to the top of Thaynes Canyon for a ski trip to the bottom of the mountain, the same route which is used in 1964 for the Mine Train Ride which moves skiers up the mountain. There are 27 bars in Park City and, despite prohibition, a thirsty soul could buy a drink in all but one of them. Prohibition continues through 1932. The stock market crashes. A ski jump is built on the Creole mine dump.
Downhill skiers are few and skiing is mostly a spectator sport.
Alf Engen sets a world record at Ecker Hill by jumping 247 feet. In all, Engen sets five world records at Ecker Hill. 1934 Ski jumper Calmar Andreasen, hampered by strong crosswinds and hardpacked snow, dies from a fall on Ecker Hill. The town's first Winter Carnival is a success, with more than 500 skiers arriving in Deer Valley on the ski train - a four hour journey from Salt Lake City. Swedes and Finns carry mail over the mountains to Brighton and Alta using very long skis and usually only one pole to control speed.
