Mammoth Invitational nets more than 250k

MMCF’s Mammoth Invitational was a big success, netting over $250,000 for youth education and athletics in Mammoth. Mammoth Olympians John Teller, Kelly Clark (wearing her bronze medal), Stacey Cook and Kaya Turski pictured at left raised some $36,000 in Saturday’s live auction, while current team athletes pictured above (including alpine, snowboard and nordic teams) helped bring in over $20,000 (how could donors resist with future Olympians onstage?). Among the athletes in the above photo are Brandon Davis, Olympic slopestyle alternate (far left) and snowboarding phenom Chloe Kim (fifth from left). At the mike: Mammoth Team Performance Director Pete Korfiatis.
