35 Year Anniversary
Vail, Colorado
To celebrate the 35th anniversary trip, the HFSC returned to Vail and stayed at the Mountain Haus where the HFSC stayed for the 2004 HFSC Reloaded Trip.
Bernd and Leopold re-joined the group after a long layoff and demonstrated top skiing form during the three day trip. Jon Rottier joined the group for the first time since the 10 year anniversary trip in 1988. Day 1 brought 4 inches of fresh powder and blue sky. The HFSC skied 31,788 feet of vertical on Day 1, high point for the trip.
On the evening of Day 2, the group held a 35 Anniversary HFSC Awards and Recognition event that showcased the highlights….and lowlights…of 35 years of HFSC skiing. Among the many distinguished awards presented, Bernd received the 24-7 Apres Ski Award; Leopold received the Mogul Meister Award; Lee received the award for attending the most trips over the 35 years; and Rob Crain was recognized as the best skier in the group.
