[ShiftyRider]

No need to miss them. You can ride Mt. Baldy Chair 1 year round or Chair 3 as soon as it snows again!

P.S. Does you dad need any slats?

PhotoHo, you are right Plake was way before his time. Without Plake and Scott Schmidt as well as afew others in that era, freeskiing probably wouldn't be where it is today! Funny thing is all these 20 something shredders don't even know who they are!

how bout flyin brian, or bryant wells, craig wadsworth... Im 20 something...

I ran into Plake at Gear Exchange in Bishop last spring. He said I was buying the exact same pants he bought the day before. We both had forgotten our spring touring softshells along, and they were having a sale. He grabbed a topo and showed me his favorite stashes in the June area when he heard that's where I was heading. Amazingly cool and humble dude. Like a fanboy (and because if I didn't have a picture, it wouldn't have happened), I had the cashier snap a crappy cell phone pic:

Glen and his wife Kim are very nice folks. Years ago, when they were in Mammoth more often, they used to go to our old church and we'd see them there occasionally.

The good old days of doing gondi laps with Plake, Davey, and Jason. I can still hear Glen lol at all the stories he would tell. The best part is when pounding bumps with that dude, we were on 200 bump skies and he was pounding on 220 downhill boards. Insane.

Always there for charity events too.

I always thought this was the scariest part of the job - bronco riding on the snowcats!
