Kaylor also reported that inbound flights to Mammoth people at any one time. Yosemite during MLK weekend were between 54%-63% full while outbound Mammoth Lakes Tourism Executive Director John Urdi also cited the flights were between 61%-71% full. The Denver service was only 31% full numbers. He said December TOT revenue came in $116,000 ahead of last for inbound flights and 45% full for outbound flights. United was forced to year and that TBID revenue categories (retail, restaurant, TOT) were up across the board. Matt Hammer of Black Velvet Coffee thinks the blackout date policy actually helps his business, because he can only serve so many people at a time and doesn‘t really have the capacity or labor to provide good customer service when it’s completely packed. Others in the food and beverage business are not so sanguine. One sent a long text to me which stated, “The previous article you wrote about the blackout dates ... did not reflect the real story of how detruimental Mammoth’s business practices are for local business ... local vendors have PEOPLE confirmed this is the worst winter we’ve had in more than a decade.” This person cited Mammoth’s day ski pass rates and food prices as crip- DOWNHILL pling and causing people to stay away. And yet, the numbers from Lynch and Urdi don’t reflect that. Perhaps - and this is guesswork - when you have such a disruption in the HAVE THE RIGHT business model, it creates a recalibration, and maybe even a different set of winners. OF WAY Looking forward, there’s one final series of blackout dates to brace over President’s weekend in mid-February.

By Alan K. Engen ver the years, skiing has had its share of sad stories involving injury, and sometimes even death, to participants of the sport. Being an action sport, Oskiing carries an element of risk, especially to competitive ski athletes who put their safety on the line on a regular basis. Such was the situation for a young, beautiful, and very talented skier named Jill Kinmont. In January 1955, Jill Kinmont was considered one of the top women skiers in the country and had been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. It was strongly felt by many noted ski authorities that she would be named to the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team. One of the main qualifying events for Olympic Team consideration in the 1950s was the Snow Cup giant slalom which was a nationally recognized FIS “A” level competition held annually at Alta, Utah.
