Wolf Creek Ski Area: Race Fun

I love it, how does Wolf Creek pay tribute to our greatest civil rights leader? Why, with the Martin Luther King Jr. Fun Race,” naturally. (Image highlighting added by me.)
I don’t for a moment think that Wolf Creek chose this name as a goof or out of any malice. In fact, I could only find reference to the phrase “fun race” on Google caches of the Wolf Creek and Colorado Ski Country USA snow reports. These were probably entered as comments by ski patrollers and not vetted by Wolf Creek’s communications department. Everywhere else, it’s simply the “Martin Luther King, Jr. Race.”
And, by the way, Wolf Creek had stunning amounts of snow this weekend, receiving something on the order of four feet between Friday and yesterday (Jan 12-14, 2007). They are now sporting a 96" base and making our Summit County and northern Colorado resorts look rather pathetic. It’s a lovely little locals’ mountain nestled in the San Juans manned by a friendly, authentic staff. I need to go there this season—you probably do, too.
