Lambo/Skip:

I honestly couldn't remember the daughter, but now that you said it...she was a real skier... but hot...I met her when they were filming in 1975, "The Other Side of the Mountain," about a famous female skier (Jill Kilmont) that was injured racing. It starred-- Marilyn Hassett, Beau Bridges and the Director was,- Larry Peerceo Bridges, about the real life of Jill Kilmont... Bridges at the time not such an airhead...I got a part in bar scene, where I had one line and got paid $110- "How did you do on the slope today," simple line, but it was later edited out...!!

I remember Bridges invited me and this other blond out to dinner, after the scene, we showed up at the bar in downtown Mammoth, and as we were sitting down, the girl whispered something really sexy and erotic in Bridges' ear and I was left sitting at the table alone. (they both disappeared real fast!). But I remember McCoys daughter was there helping and assisting as an expert. You are right about the snow, even though its still "Sierra Cement"... they always get snow.

@inklake, I still ski the old long boards but not for anything except the finest of AFRC traditions: I'm cheap Ba#$tard. But I do ski the newfangled shaped ski anytime I can get someone to front me some demo's. I worked in B'gdn at the sport shop and after moving back to the states I lived in Bishop Ca. for a few years where I also skied just about every gully and chute I could find along hwy. 395. That said. I am a much more experienced faller than any type of skier. Thanks again, Skip
