Always a good vibe at Berkeley. Skied there in 94 & 95. Basically skied there every weekend from April to October except for Margaritaville at Shortline and the Marin Club weekend at Bell Aqua. The Marin crew always put on a good event. Even the monthly club meetings were fun - quick meeting, brbq, and ski rides. Matt Brant, Chris Velosing, and Steve Ware, from the Berkeley club were always there for a ride. Al Frosini was the first guy I met at the Park. He hooked me up with my first few rides there - said most of the private sites down south were to hot to ski in. Al's Novice Nationals was really fun. Lots of skiers from 26mph to -38. The Cal States in 94 had some impressive skiers. Also a great model for public parks and to bring skiing to the masses - multi use lakes, fields, courts, trails. Just takes time and money.
