Bulletin from Squaw: The Eighties Are Back
By
April 03, 2006
We would be remiss as a newly minted blog if we didn't provide the scoop on at least one hot party at the Mountain Travel Symposium, currently underway in Squaw Valley. Attendees are now in recovery after the "Totally '80s Theme Party," Monday's night of boogaloo and bad hairstyles hosted by Mountain Reservations, the Overstock.com company formerly known as Ski West.
M.C. Ian Jenkins of Whistler got the groove going to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible." Among the appropriately attired: Alan J. Mao, Mountain Reservations' vice president of marketing, in a red one-piece suit bought a few days ago in Park City. "It's our party, he explained. "We had to dress right."
Todd Clarke of Alyeska Resort took the theme seriously. He showed up in an "80's get-up-and-go green" and red one-piece suit that he bought hours earlier at a used equipment shop called Nine Lives in Tahoe City. Steve Hoodcheck of VacationCoupons.com chose to be punked in a black CBGB/OMFUG tee shirt that he said he found two days ago in a Denver mall, plus a truly dreadful black "mullet" wig. Playing on a big screen was the best-forgotten ski movie Hot Dog.
Just about the only thing missing was a video arcade with Donkey Kong and Pac Man.
