Lance Meyer sure sounds familiar and I did live on Davidson.

No! John Garamendi was in the office with Dave, Nic, Tony Romo, Don Rake (?), and myself. I didn't mean he caught the pass.....lol And with a little research, "The Catch" was by Dwight Clark in 1982.

Sure did! I also worked with his sister in the business office one year. That job got me on the Cat Crew as I spent a lot of time in Dave and Nic's office. I remember watching the Super Bowl in their office the year the 49ers won with that miracle catch with John Garamendi who is now the Lt...

I still know Ray, his mother, and sister, although don't see them anymore since not on the mountain anymore. I was good friends with his dad Ray who unfortunatly passed away a few years ago. The Hensley's and Lynn Newcomb were like arch rivals and a lot of bickering went on between Kratka &...

Wow! I remember a lot of those faces and I was friends with Ueli from my days working at Pioneer Market. I then was on Cat Crew in the early 80's before heading back to my first love "Mt. Waterman".

Hi Sno! The old Newcomb's gang of Chef Gary, Ronda, and I are trying to get the old Sawmill restaurant (now Mtn Chulas) there on Hwy. 2. Maybe we will see you soon. Tom

I guess no problems! Mt. High is making snow already.

All looks good. With last nights 29 degrees and the winds dieing down they seem to have the upper hand. A Forester in a TV news interview said they were able to save Wrightwood because of the proximity of Mt. High's snowmaking ponds to get water. Hopefully they are able to get them refilled to...

A new fire in the Angeles National Forest known as the Sheep Fire has Wrightwood under a mandatory evacuation. I have been working to acquire an old restaurant in Wrightwood, hope they get this one out quickly. http://www.inciweb.org/incident/1910/

I believe it was the sheriffs writing those tickets to Ob skiers. It came about because we had some kids get lost, one who the the son of the Sierra Madre (I believe) Fire Dept. Battalion Chief. Montrose Search and Rescue was called out and they were looking in the complete wrong area. They were...

Craig is one of the investors in Waterman and still lives in the area so is very involved from an owners standpoint with the fire issues on a daily basis. He and the Metcalfs have been friends since childhood.

I received this email from Craig, one of the Waterman owners: I have been attending most meetings since Thursday. Fire is on our southern ridge (Devils Canyon) and goes around to a new dozer line/fire break (from the reservoir to the ridge) and down the center of avalanche. Concern would be if...

Sounds like the road problems have already started. Saw an article last night stating the road is closed indefinatly. It has to be completely restriped as the stripeing melted off I guess. All the guard rails and signage are burned away and with California's money woes it may take a long time...

Newcomb's is fine and serving food & drink to firefighters. Christian Camp is also fine. Waterman still has a battle coming up.

Here is what I am hearing. CalTrans gone. Chilao Visitor center gone. Christian camp gone. Newcomb's missed and survived. Go figure!

Hi Snowave! Since I'm not involved up there anymore I'm not sure what is going on with people. I'm told the Forest Service all got out of Chilao so I would have to think everyone left Loomis and Newcomb's also.

Just heard that the Chilao Cal Trans yard is already gone and trying to find out about Newcomb's.

CW! Baldy is in the Angeles not San Bernardino National Forest. I got a second hand Forest Service report saying if the fire keeps up at current rate it could be in Wrightwood by Sunday. I sure hope that is just an over exageration.

Could end up being a really bad year for Waterman coming up. With the Angeles National Forest on fire and the possible upcoming El Nino, combining the burned off hillsides along the Angeles Crest Hwy. and the heavy wet rains could lead to a lot of slides and road problems this coming winter. Be...

Bad economy is good for Southern California resorts. Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, and Mt. High had good years because people stayed closer to home. The economy really hurt the destination resorts due to travel cost and higher ticket pricing. With that said I still think there is a good outlook...
