Report from May 17, 2021

I met up with some old friends for some quality laps at Mammoth Mountain, CA today.

My original plan was to hit the park and work on my tricks, but thereโ€™s only 1 jump at Mammoth right now and itโ€™s hugeโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m hoping itโ€™ll shrink with the heat over the next week or twoโ€ฆ

We discovered a very fun, exciting run right under Chair 1 that was exhilarating.

After about 4 laps on that, we started doing top to bottom runs.

The groomer off Chair 23 to the race track was great.

The run right under the gondola was also a good time but got a bit sticky in spots.

We even gave Chair 3 a shot and it was skiing well.

Mammoth plans to stay open until Memorial Day & theyโ€™re currently operating from 7:30 am to 2 pm.

Itโ€™s very impressive how Mammoth farms snow and keeps this place insanely fun this late into the drought year.

Thanks, Mammoth!
