The First Baldy Dummy Downhill. 1993 - 25th Anniversary Weekend

You will note one very tall Dummy at the far right. Al didn't know the height limit, and showed up last minute with a ladder dressed up. It was assessed for safety and competed. One of the most beautiful Dummy ballets ever.

Could "The Count" ride again? Seems to me there was a crash last time.

That first Dummy race was the best. It was the Saturday at the end of a common week of spring break. Families were working on their designs all week, and out on the road and the slopes in the dark testing them out.
