New DSES Uniforms On Order - Donations Needed
It's finally time for new uniforms and we need your help!! After five years in our current second hand duds (thank you Mammoth Mountain) we have ordered gorgeous new jackets and soft shells. Our new gear sports DSES colors and our famous logo. We will have better recognition on the slopes and our on-hill image will finally catch up to the professionalism of the organization. Plus, all our volunteers and instructors will stay warm and toasty and dry!!
Mountain Uniforms, a Tahoe based company, has been extremely easy to work with and has given us a great "non-profit" discount, BUT we're not there yet. To pay the balance on the uniforms and have them ready in November we need $14,500.
We are accepting all donations. Come by the office to check out the samples OR visit www.mountainuniforms.com to see uniforms for other ski schools.

Dennis Hampton Memorial
Childrens Scholarship Fund
Dennis Hampton was a long time resident of Mammoth Lakes. He arrived in the 1970's for a fun ski vacation and loved Mammoth and winter sports so much he never left. Dennis found his home among the other wonderful Mammoth locals and loved skiing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. He was happiest when he was talking with his friends and listening to their stories.
In memory of Dennis, his family and friends are establishing a scholarship fund to sponsor children with disabilities so they can participate in outdoor sports here in the Eastern Sierra. Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra, a program that Dennis loved and supported, teaches children of all ages and all disabilities.
