"On July 4, 1948, the Koma Kulshan ski club organized a giant slalom race and promoted the event as the only ski tournament in the country during the month of July. This was the unofficial beginning of a long tradition of spontaneous and merry July 4th "Slush Cup" events that lasted into the 1980"s until the U.S. Forest Service alleged damage to the alpine environment and shut down the Slush Cup."

| Table mtn. in the distance with a cute little snow hat on top. This photo was taken at the first parking lot looking towards Bagley lake.  This photo was taken on Canyon creek road (which is closed to vehicles because of road damage) Wonderful example of "goats beard" on the trees. Just a side note update on my calf injury - Regular walking is fine and this last week I was able to do a "very" short hike and a 13 mile bike ride without any twinges. Yay, no running yet, but at least "some things" are possible! |
