Locals Snow Festival Memories III
#5 Lasers
"It was the year they handed out 3-D glasses for the laser show on Opening Night. I was watching all the skiers come down off KT, listening to the music, and spinning out with the lasers. It was so festive and so wonderful to have such a well-done event, and I thought just what a cool place Tahoe was to live." Dave Wilderotter, owner of Dave's Skis And Boards.
#6 Miss Sierra Snowfest Pageant
"One year I was asked to be judge for the Miss Sierra Snowfest Pageant. The room was packed full of people-- partying, screaming, just getting off. All the judges had their claim to fame, and the one sitting next to me was shave-headed, Hank Bauer, a San Diego Charger football player. He was totally juiced and way rowdy. His eyes looked like compressed oil about to gush, and as the mega-babes are on stage, he's howling at the top of his lungs: 'You're hurting me! Have mercy!" I've been around a bit of erratic behavior in my day, but that night was a trophy winner." Robert Frohlich, Ski Journalist.
