Where is this location? Have you ever been there? Let's see who remembers or who knows.

This is the old Skytop that we all use to ski back in the good ole days. We have all skied this slope many, many time with lots of good memories.

Yeah that is right outside the building. I do seem to have spent a little time on that hill. It was a great time. To bad no other farm boys from Iowa will get a chance to enjoy a few winters there. It is good to times like those to look back on as you move ahead.

WE HAVE TWO WINNERS. Who of you remember the snowless winter of 1973? Peter was very upset when he found out some of the RAIDERS pulled the fire hose up to the top of the bunny slope and let the water run until they had a slick mud slide to ski on.

Jim Back in the early 60's I think I got engaged to Valerie Roberts of the Delrays Dancers in the area of where this tree is at, of course then it was just a little sibling. As I recall there were some benches around it and we sat there in the moon light and watched the stars. Unfortunately we didn't stay together after I returned to the states, but it was sure a blast while in Berchtesgaden. Thanks for the memories. Wayne

Tim Ibey, Brian Skinner, Mickey Brant and I were sent to B-garden for one week in April, 1977 to teach Colonel Brown's teenage kids how to ski. By then, the Skytop slope was closed to the public, so we had to fire up the T-bar ourselves. While the others spent time with the Colonal's kids, I skied on what was left of the Spring snow. There was a big hourglass-shaped brown spot right in the middle of the slope, which meant I had to stop my rhythm, traverse around the brown spot, and then try to regain enough speed to get to the bottom of the slope. One of the kids told me where the lift operators stored a shovel, and I used it to make a small lip just high enough to get me over the three to five feet of bare grass at the center of the hourglass. Then, for the rest of the afternoon, skiing that slope was an "h" word of a lot more fun!
