The Mammoth Mountain Ski Area hosted the California Police and Fire Winter Games from Feb. 4-7. This is an annual competition that has been hosted by MMSA for many years in which members of the Mammoth Lakes Police Department have competed.

The MLPD’s “What’s Left” team was smaller than in past years, but still came home with the gold – and silver, and bronze. Sergeant Eric Hugelman, Officer Andy Lehr, and Community Service Officer Kari Orr competed as skiers and Sergeant Hugelman’s son, Emmett, competed in the snowboard class. They represented the Town of Mammoth Lakes and the MLPD admirably. They won the following medals:

Eric Hugelman:  Silver in Super G, Silver in Slalom, Silver in Skier X, Bronze in Cross-Country

Andy Lehr: Gold in Slalom, Bronze in Skier X

Kari Orr: Gold in Super G, Silver in Slalom, Silver in Giant Slalom, Silver in Dual Slalom

Emmett Hugelman: Gold in Super G, Gold in Slalom, Gold in Giant Slalom, Fourth in Boarder Cross

The California Police and Fire Winter Games, like the Baker to Vegas Relay Race in which the MLPD also competes, promotes physical fitness and conditioning, as well as camraderie among public safety professionals. –MLPD
