Such luxury. We made our own skis. We screwed old high top tennis
shoes to the skis, no bindings. We brought our own food because we
couldn't afford to pay for it, and they didn't sell hot food. Lifts
were all rope tows. The lodge was a shack with a fireplace, which was
built by the owners themselves in the off season. There was no bar,
everyone brought a bottle of booze and we shared.
It must be nice to have lived such a life of privilege.


That actually sounds like "Ski Green Valley" in the San Bernardino
Mountains here. At some point it turned snowboard-only and a few years
later it closed completely. No lodge, just a small cabin where tickets
were sold. You just tossed your stuff in a corner while you were
skiing. People brought their dogs. We only went once, but I'm glad we did.


The places I went to you didn't bring a dog. We weren't so bad off
that we'd eat 'em, but we couldn't afford to feed them.
