Congratulations, Jimmy!

From the article:
“In my 40-plus years of being in this industry, I cannot think of anybody more deserving and worthy as the recipient of the Dave McCoy Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Casey Blann, the resort’s vice president of mountain operations, during the ceremony. “He’s the go-to guy of everything Squaw.

“From his lift maintenance background and acumen to lift construction to jumping in a snow cat and doing things that most people would not even dream of doing, he’s got the most can-do attitude of anyone I’ve ever met.”

You can read the whole story in the Sierra Sun article.

I always think about these unsung heroes making it possible for us to get dozens of runs a day, as opposed to what would be a handful at most if all we could do was earn our turns. Thank you, Jimmy and crew!
