So, having been a lurker for since the original ballers were just starting, what would I contribute but a photo from 40 years ago, but Lake Saucier was where I skied my first tournament. Dave Saucier had purchased most of the land around it and it was a pretty much perfect tournament lake. It was also known as "Lake X" because the actual name of the platted lake was as racially offensive as any lake in the country. Google Nowthen, MN and you'll find it with what I assume is Google's attempt at making it less offensive, but, well, nice try, guys. It's been renamed "Burns Lake" and as far as I know, hasn't been skied on for a while. BTW, I have joint custody of the jump that Dave built for the 1974 (yes, 1974) Saucier International Cup pro tournament.
