Telemarktips Community Appreciation Party Big Success

Weather Gods Cooperate & The Band Goes Richter At Season Opening Celebration

November 10, 2003--Less than two weeks ago Mammoth was in the grip of a record breaking heat wave. Our opening weekend party had been planned for months and we were getting worried. Then it got cold, and the storm door opened just in time.

And while it may have been cold and snowing hard outside last Saturday night, inside Fever, Mammoth's new nightclub, the heat wave made a brief return courtesy of a blistering set of straight-ahead rock and roll by Waxapples.

The crowd was primed for some good music after a give-away session that saw numerous party-goers spin the Freeheel of Fortune prize wheel and take home skis, bindings, tele boots and dozens of the new Telemarktips logo T-shirts. Karhu Telemark Team members Taiga Young and Lorenzo Worster joined us on stage to help out with the drawing while Big Tim went around and made friends by passing out even more shirts.

Right: and why is Eric O. smiling? Could it be because he knew it was dumping a foot of snow outside?

   

 

After the band a DJ came on, and so did the pole dancers. It was a fine way to end a fun party

The crew at Telemarktips.com would like to thank the nearly 150 people that came out to Fever to help us welcome in another season of telemark and backcountry skiing.

Good snow, a fun party and lots of friends. It was an opening weekend none of us here will soon forget. Thanks again everybody.
