The Scooter LaCouter Signs (Aspen Mountain)
There are two Scooter LaCouter signs on Aspen Mountain as covered below. They both pertain to ski instructor David "Scooter" LaCouter, who coached the Aspen Mt. Patrol duo of Erki Peltonen and Flint Smith to victory in two World Championships in Powder Eights. He also participated in the 1968 Interski event at Aspen; see my page for this on this web site: http://www.aspensnowmassshrines.com/index.php?Interski-Photo-Board-Aspen-Mountain And for more on Scooter, see this article: https://news.google.com/
