As a young man having spent most of his summers vacationing with
his parents in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, Peter Zagorski had
always loved the outdoors. He loved the boundless activities nature
provides, as well as the serenity and peacefulness. So during the
late sixties it was only natural that Peter pursued a university
degree at Boston College - majoring in Science and the Humanities.
Meanwhile, Peter's brother, Zigler Zagorski, pursued a different
kind natural existence at Berkerley in California, where Zigler met
Dr. Timothy Leary and Jerry Garcia. No one really knows what may
have happened to Peter Zagorski's brother, Zig, after the early seventies.
Some say he did some modeling for a cigarette rolling paper company.
Some say he was lost at sea during a hurricane.
With a Doctorate degree in Chemistry from MIT, Peter Zagorski resigned
fom his teaching position to accept a new responsibility as Director
of Science at a large, east coast chemical company that promised
"Better things for better living through chemistry". Peter
Zagorski thought he had found the perfect opportunity to give something
back to this world that had treated him so wonderfully during his
youth.
Things being as unpredictable as they are, after spending 20 years
in east coast traffic jams, wearing a stupid three piece suit every
day, battling dickhead accountants and super straight MBA's, and
finally realizing that "better things for better living"
were things like dioxin, PCB's, PVC's, Agent Orange, and BVD's, Dr
Zagorski packed his van and moved to Alaska, where he found himself
naturally.
In the late eighties, Dr Zagorski ventured back to one of his childhood
treasures, Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He was suffering painfully
from the Yampa Valley curse of the Ute Indians (which says that once
you visit the Yampa valley - where Steamboat lies - you will always
come back!) So he did.
Here in Steamboat, Dr Zag is credited with two amazinq inventions:
The first is discovering how to seed the clouds with laser beams
thus producing the famous Steamboat Champagne Powder; the second
is creating the only real fast wax in the World - Steamboat's own
Dr Zag's Mountain Wax. "GO FAST OR GO HOME"
is what you can here him say to those Texas Tourons as he blows by
them on those double digit powder days in Steamboat...and he just
keeps grinning...
The legend continues...
