Petition addressed to: Mammoth Mountain

Bernie was an absolute legend of Mammoth Skiing, changing the name of Chair 23 to “Bernie’s” is a simple and amazing way to honor his legacy.

Reason

Please join us in signing this petition to convince Mammoth Mountain to immortalise our great friend. Regardless of whether the name of Chair 23 is officially changed to Bernies we should all take it upon ourselves to call it that as true change happens with us on the Mountain.

Thank you so much for your support, Elliott Bernhagen, Las Vegas

My son, Bernard, found his calling as a child, then his home away from Vermont, at Mammoth. His spirit, and the spirit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains were one. His attitude, altitude. He met kindred spirits. Together, they soared. Then, an amazing thing happened. He met Amber and they created Alexander. Way leads onto way. Spirit speaks of the eternal, the oneness that embraces us all. Memory honors spirit and cushions us agains grief. This beautiful act keeps Bernard's memory alive.

No CONTRA argument yet.

Why people sign

Bernie was a huge part of the community, and resort. I love the idea of honoring his life this way.

Bernie was the King of ski bums. he deserves to live forever on the hill.

Cause Bernie is a legend. Do the right thing Mammoth!

Bernie was a very inspirational person, especially for older skiers. He took his job at Mammoth seriously and I loved when he posted at about snow cat grooming. It'd be an honor to have a chair named after him.

Bernie loved Mammoth and Mammoth loves Bernie!!
