Half Fast Ski Club
Crested Butte, Colorado
Trip Notes: The HFSC made a first time trip to Crested Butte. Don and Kevin were not able to attend when their flight was cancelled due to snow and ice in Nashville. The snow conditions were marginal for the entire trip at CB.
Although the snow conditions were disappointing, the accommodations arranged by Mark were outstanding. Mark solved the problem of not having a gas grill at the condo by buying and disassembling a grill in Denver. Then he strapped the grill onto his car for the drive to and from Crested Butte. That is HFSC creativity in action.
Lee introduced the dice game, Pig. Everyone enjoyed the new game, and Lowell and Rob Adams were the big winners. Bernd described his recent airplane crash as a “good landing,” because any landing you walk away from is a good landing.
Departure day brought several flight cancellations at the Gunnison Airport. Chaos reigned until Leopold took command and arranged a shuttle to the Gunnison Airport. There Leopold. Chris, Bernd and Lee picked up a rental car for the frantic drive to Denver. En route, Leopold performed the “Manneken Pis” in an unfriendly man’s front yard in rural Colorado. Denver flight connections were barely made for Leopold and Bernd. All is well that ends well.

Bogles got Bogle-ized
Since Don and Kevin couldn’t make the trip, some crafty members decided to do their best to make it as if they WERE on the trip. They got to meet wonderful women of the mountain, play with the band, and Don still managed to win at Liar’s Dice.
