Police Escort to Mammoth<br />
For our February Mammoth Weeke�d trip, there were 31<br />
<strong>BSSC</strong> members eager to e�joy some good s�ow. We started<br />
out Thursday at 6:00 pm. Whe� we arrived at Bishop,<br />
CalTra�s had closed the road, thus we spe�d the �ight i�<br />
the luxurious accomodatio�s of our bus! At approximately 6<br />
am we were escorted to<br />
Mammoth by the Highway Patrol.<br />
Half of the <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Club</strong> skied half day, some took lo�g �aps<br />
while others we�t shoppi�g. The Friday �ight di��er was,<br />
as always, a hit. Peter Jo�es was very ki�d a�d brought<br />
some delicious fish he caught <strong>and</strong> smoked. Saturday on the<br />
mou�tai� the s�ow was great the people who wa�ted to ski<br />
did get to ski.<br />
Some of us eve� got to race. The top of the mou�tai� was<br />
closed due to stro�g wi�ds. Our Saturday �ight cocktail<br />
party was at the Mammoth <strong>Ski</strong> Museum where there was a<br />
Dick Goetzmen dedication. Maxine did a great job of plan-<br />
�i�g & everyo�e e�joyed the eve�i�g. Su�day mor�i�g we<br />
awoke to s�ow a�d hurrica�e force wi�ds. The porch had<br />
three feet of s�ow o� it with �ot a si�gle shovel to be fou�d.<br />
The bus driver Ron, from Gold Coast, took several members<br />
back to Mammoth Mou�tai� Lodge for them to pick up gear<br />
left there thi�ki�g they would be skii�g agai� o� Su�day.<br />
Ro� o�ce agai� co�vi�ced the highway patrol to let us drive<br />
out to 395 si�ce the mai� road was closed but o�ce we got<br />
out to 395 that was closed also. We were stuck o� the bus<br />
agai� for three to four hours.<br />
Maxi�e, Co��ie a�d I served chicke� sa�dwiches from what<br />
we had left over from the di��er.<br />
Eve�tually the police escorted us dow� the road for<br />
about te� miles. The <strong>Ski</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has set a �ew record for<br />
total trip time o� a bus — 24 hours.<br />
I’d like to also tha�k the Co�do Captai�s Mary A��<br />
Russo, Christie Walchli, Cindy Garcia, Steve Olson,<br />
Bill Horto� a�d Betty Bai�s.<br />
