Hello Ken,
It translates
German and Army Ski championship
Berchtesgaden 7. December 1934
SA SS Ski championship
I've seen a number of these in the past, and never found any specific info--I suspect they were either purchased at the event or may have been given to all who took part.

Actually this is a pretty rare pin....since this event occured before the "night of the long knives" (the overthrow of Rohm and the SA), it is one of only a very few pins that depicts the SS and the SA together....there were 2 variations...i have one showing on my sale/trade site on the front page near the bottom.
It is even more unique in that it is enamel and showing the SS and SA together.
I am not aware of any others.
here is a link to my site if you want to see the other variation...in my experience the one shown here in this thread is actually slightly harder to find...great score.
