DAVE MCCOY

Still missing you , Dave McCoy ...from the start of the 395 ...starting at Adelanto to the Cornice....we still have your influence in our thoughts. Wishing many , many new blessings onto your family....and know that we will always remember how Mammoth came to be such a special place.

Dave McCoy was always an inspiration when I was an older child he was always around I think skiing with his grandchildren he was so friendly. I felt safe when he was there I knew he was a magnificent man. I went on to become a junior National Escape Patrol and ski patrol and worked and went to college. I became a healthcare professional and I'm a member of the national ski patrol today. I think of the times the ski patrol would ski with me at Mammoth because I wanted to be a ski patrol and...

Mammoth is good, Mammoth is beautiful ....but , it's not the same without Dave McCoy. God bless him and his family for getting Mammoth on the map ...forever and ever.

Oh wonderful Dave McCoy! I did not have the honor of knowing you personally in your century plus on earth but you certainly influenced my life in a truly wonderful way. What else can I say but thank you for all your work turning Mammoth Mountsin into a world class destination. When I was in college I skied my first very awkward run down Broadway and managed to end it standing up. From that day on I was hooked. I lived in Mammoth for four years in the 80s and will be returning there soon...

Dave, you and your family were an inspiration to me when I was in high school at Ridgecrest, CA. I been skiing for three years in Michigan at a small resort. We moved to Ridgecrest my first year of high school and skied cheaply at Mammoth from 1964-2968. I met you and different members of your family and was so touched by your welcoming and warmth. I felt at home there and made the 31/2 hour drive up there as often as I could. As a member of the China Lake ski club I was able to stay in...

I had no idea you were born in El Segundo, so was my dad! Born in 1919. RIP Dave you were a force to reckon with and made skiing so fun for so many!

I finally made it here. I've been coming to Mammoth Lakes and especially to ski Mammoth Mountain ...since 1971. I met my husband at the Innsbruck. Dave McCoy was more than just a man in my mind. Big time, great person. I never thought I would be a FB friend of his. We exchanged comments on his page from time to time...then his movie endeavor came to be a public idea. We exchanged more online conversation and I happily donated to the production of the movie. What was extra cool was we...

As Mammoth was in the early stages of its development, I was taken back by your
humor, compassion and candor on those long weekends, summer ski testing and traveling together to races, was the highlight of my young life.

For you support and guidance from 1962-1971 as we trained for to reach our goals and aspersions to make the US Ski Team.

Although I was unable to make that goal, you tough me to work hard, understand my faults and for 9 years gave the confidence...
