In this episode of Local Legends, we sit down with Wendell and Jane Southworth, co-owners of the Ski Inn*, located near the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea, which some have dubbed a wasteland, is home to a small community. Most of these locals often gather at the Ski Inn, one of the last few bars left in Bombay Beach, and at 223 feet below sea level, it’s described itself as the “lowest bar in the Western Hemisphere”. *The Southworths were co-owners at the time of filming, but as of mid-2019, the Ski Inn is under new ownership.
