Bear Paw sign- restored
The old original Bear Paw sign has been restored and is residing on the front of BaseCamp Lodge/Red Dog/employee housing building. EPHA thanks the efforts of Aaron Johnson, Rob Christie, Phil Davis, Susi Lewis, and Eric Jung.
This sign used to be at the entrance to BV Village, and was designed and created by Bob Shedd, one of the first Ski Patrol managers. An accomplished artist and sign painter, his legacy of drawings and a few signs live in our museum. The Bear Paw sign was dismantled and about to be tossed, when Phil Davis found out, and stored the pieces in a shed for years. He re-assembled the one side of the sign in the best condition, and Susi Lewis repainted the paws in the original 1960’s orange
