Cool, I just remembered to mark my calendar for the third Sunday of January, February, and March: It's the Plumas Ski Club's Historic Longboard Race Revival Series!

A color landscape photo of two longboard skiers about half way down the race hill. The old wood ski lodge is seen in the upper right. A crowd of people stand along the race hill in front of the lodge. Tall green conifer trees are seen in the background.
A color landscape photo of two women racing down a snow covered hill on old fashioned longboard skis. They both wear dresses that look old style. Each skier hold a long wood pole with a disk on the bottom. The pole is used as brakes at the bottom of the run.
A color landscape photo of two men in old style looking clothes leaning forward and about to launch their longboard skis down a hill. Two other men behind the ski competitors stand watching while a photography across from me is photographing the same scene.
A sepia toned landscape photo of about 50 people standing in front of an old wooden ski lodge in the mountains. The ground is snow covered and there are conifer trees in the background behind the lodge. A long narrow sign at ground level reads, "Historic Longboard Revival Series, Plumas Ski Club. Behind the sign are the 50 people balancing vertically many longboard ski that over 6 meters (20 feet) long.
