Thread: Fortress Mountain Closes

Nice pic doug.

Do Rascal Kings live in Rascal Castles or Rascal Fortresses?

Thanks, but if it showed up bigger how crappy a scan it was would be more evident. The shoulder was a good ski esp. if boarders put in the boot pack.

Now just curious does Rascal King = Teamdirt or do you just hang out at everybodies mothers house like teamdirt?

Doug, I'm thinking you may have spent a day at Fortress with the Rascal King - but I could be wrong.

Don't want to dwell on Fortress shutting down, but that place really is full of memories, such as...

Driving out to Fortress in the family car the first year it re-opened - on a gravel road all the way from the TransCanada.

Meeting our country's skiing sweetheart Nancy Greene there one day when we were all still young and impressionable.

Getting drunk in the daylodge when I was not actually old enough to legally go into a bar. (God that was a lot of drinks ago.)

Hanging out with friends at the lunch rocks on the Old Double.

Hiking up the Shoulder for some pow turns.

Skiing the shoulder of Baldy with rocks on both sides of a narrow strip of snow.

Doing the tailgate party thing in the parking lot at the base of the triple chair - complete with BBQ, coolers full of booze and young chicky friends.

Getting to know every square inch of the mountain until the trees started to grow in and suffocate our old lines...

______________

Sadly, I didn't go there once this season and probably just outgrew the place, but it still brings back fond memories...

The Fort, circa 1979:
