Mammoth Conditions Report: 15″ Fresh Snow

If you’d of asked four days ago about my plans for this winter I would have ticked off a list of sport climbs at Red Rock and a boulder problem or two in Bishop with a jaded comment about how it’ll never snow in California again. The skiing in mammoth was awful. Man-made glare ice, limited terrain, and packed thanksgiving crowds left something to be desired (mostly an early day at the bar, or a visit to the local crag). The last 3 days have been great. Less than 1000 people on the mountain Mon-Wed and a fresh 15″ to boot. […]

My first thought was of how good the mountain biking would be, but as the storm got colder and flakes began falling my mentality instinctively flopped to skiing. I jumped on my computer to research snow reports […]

Mammoth’s Closing Day: Bikini Skiing, Snowball Fight Parties, Pond Crossing, & Sluffalanches…

Today was Mammoth’s closing day. Girls were in Bikinis, people were in costumes, and all we did was train-ski and start sluffalanches and do pond crossings at the base of Chair 23. The skiing was great from start to finish today. The last gondola was at 2pm and it transported you to a bizarre snowball fight-BBQ-last run of the year party. […]

Mammoth = Bringing Sexy Back

Today was sexy at Mammoth. There was a strange scent in the air. Something like coco butter sunscreen and the 1970s mixed together. Whatever it was, it was clearly infectious. Girls weren’t wearing pants. Guys weren’t wearing shirts. Loud, raucous hooting was nearly ubiquitous. Everyone was flirting with everyone. 1970s ski formation was frequent. Skiing’s long dormant soul reared it’s heavy head. Chair 23 was the focal point of the renaissance today. Participants were either […]
