Los Angeles, CA – Posner Fine Art, in collaboration with Harris & Ruble Gallery in Los Angeles, will present “Wild Eyes in the Sierra Skies, photographs of the Eastern Sierra” by ski pioneer Dave McCoy. The opening reception will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 2 at Harris & Ruble Gallery located at 6424 Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles. The exhibition will run through Nov. 3.nWhen McCoy retired from Mammoth Mountain Ski Area after spending more than 50 years building the resort from the ground up, he turned to photography as his next adventure. In the 1930’s, McCoy started using a Leica camera to document the early days of Mammoth. Upon his departure from the ski resort, his close friends gave him a camera that defined his post-management years and gave his passion for life a new outlet.

Now 95 years old, McCoy is a longtime motorcycle enthusiast, bike rider and backpacker. Accompanied by his wife Roma, he spends much of his time traversing the Eastern Sierra on a Rhino all-terrain vehicle shooting magnificent photographs.

McCoy has been a long time benefactor furthering education and cultural enrichment in and around Mammoth Lakes, Calif. A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition will raise money for the Mammoth Lakes Foundation and Mammoth Ski & Snowboard Education Foundation.
