Mammoth Mountain, CA awoke to a high wind warning today that ended up shutting down every chair but Chair 3 at about 9am today.

Chair 3 is on the upper mountain so if you were up there, you had the whole place to yourself.

There are a ton of fun options off of Chair 3 including a mini roller park, a cat track jib, a first descent, a wiggle, a zipper line, deep sun-cupped-watermelon-snow off-piste, and great groomers.

Needless to say, there was no crowd at all due to the fact that Chair 1 was closed and there was no way to get up to Chair 3 – unless you hiked up – which we had done…

We threw 3-inch 360ºs, 2-inch 180ºs, skied extreme first descents, carved groomers, bashed bump runs, and laughed a lot.

Mammoth is open until June 17th.

Mammoth is open from 7:30am – 1pm daily.
