Heritage Week and
the International Ski History Congress in
Mammoth, California
Sunday, March 29 – Friday, April 3,
2009
ISHA has collaborated with the Mammoth Ski Museum and with the
organizers of the International Ski History Congress to offer ISHA
members the opportunity to experience Skiing Heritage Week 2009
featuring the Mammoth Ski Museum, the Beekley Collection, and the
ISHA/Beekley Annual Awards Dinner and Awards Presentations, along
with the epic skiing offered in the eastern Sierra at the Mammoth
Mountain Resort.
Giving consideration to the challenging economic environment, ISHA
our Mammoth and Ski History Congress partners have adjusted the
Heritage Week package of events to present ISHA members and guests
with a more personalized and affordable range of Heritage Week options.
From Sunday, March 29 to Friday, April 3, Skiing Heritage
Week will include:
- An opening reception at the Mammoth Ski Museum on Sunday co-sponsored
with the Mammoth Ski Museum and the International Skiing History
Congress.
- Guided tours of the Mammoth Ski Museum and the Beekley Collection
throughout the week
- The ISHA/Beekley Annual Awards Banquet on Thursday at the Mammoth
Ski Museum
- Four days of skiing at Mammoth with ISHA board members and
other attendees.
- The opportunity (at a very modest additional cost) to attend
some or all of the Ski History Congress presentations of papers
and related events.
- You will have the option of staying at the Grand Sierra Lodge,
or other Mammoth accommodations of your choosing.
With the Museum as the centerpiece of the week, ISHA board members
and other Heritage Week guests will be able to rendezvous for skiing,
after ski gatherings, and dinners and informal get togethers that
provide the camaraderie and build on the many friendships that mark
the ISHA community of devoted and passionate skiers. (We also contemplate
offering a “surprise event” or two during the week!)
The revised Heritage Week package is priced as follows:
- Full package with Grand Sierra lodging per person double: $1,250
+ tax
- Single occupancy: $1,899 + tax
- The opening reception, the awards dinner, and Mammoth skiing
$399 + tax
We encourage you to call Kendra Knight at the Mammoth Museum (760-934-6592)
to make your reservations, or if you have a questions about Heritage
Week.
