Mammoth Fun Report: Nothing But Good Times on the Final Weekend

This weekend is Mammoth’s final weekend of operations and things are getting rowdy out there. We saw some great costumes out there. Some were so good, we weren’t even sure if they were costumes… The skiing was stellar as well. Things were soft by 9am as it was a hot day. Clouds rolled in during the afternoon and cooled things off a bit, which really helped. The park was great until about noon thirty when it got really slushy and unpredictable with the sun/shade oscillations. The upper mountain off the gondy and Chair 23 was great all day. Soft early, then kept cool by the clouds. […]

California Adventure Report: Tioga Pass, Rainbow Pools, Mono Lake, Hot Springs, Water Spouts…

California can shine and it very well may shine brightest in springtime. This year, we had a low snow year and that’s the yang. The yin is that Tioga Pass opened very early so in one day, you can easily experience the foothills, the white granite domes, the high mountains, the east side, and the desert. Today, I woke up in Waterford, CA and got on the road by 7:30am. From there, it was a classic California adventure: Flipping into Rainbow Pools in the foothills, gaping at Half Dome, skiing Poop Chute on Tioga Pass, gawking at […]

Yesterday and the day before Mammoth had a stiff breeze on the upper mountain that kept things from getting too soft. It was good-for-you skiing with some great chalky snow off chair 23 all day both days. The upper mountain didn’t get too soft all day due to the wind. […]

Mammoth, CA = Spring Skiing’s Mecca | 4/29 Conditions Report:

What do you do when your ski resort closes for the season? You go to Mammoth, that’s what you do. Mammoth always stays open until the end of May and many years they stay open until the 4th of July. On big years they stay open into August. How can they stay open so late in the year? Because Mammoth gets a lot of snow and the mountain is high. 11,060 feet, to be exact. Mammoth puts a […]

Shaun White Throws & Lands His New Trick in Olympic Qualifier: Frontside Double Cork 1440

Shaun White unveiled his newest trick a couple of weeks ago: a frontside double cork 1440. The trick is ridiculous and you can see how hard he’s cranking it to get it around. Shaun used it to win the second Grand Prix Halfpipe final in Mammoth last week. Shaun is kinda sorta starting to get into that robot status that Kelly Slater and other robotic/freak/alien athletes have attained. How does Shaun keep pulling this stuff out of his […]
