In an unexpected moment of pure stoke, Mammoth Mountainโs iconic mascot, Woolly, stomped a flawless backflip on skis this week, marking what is believed to be the first-ever successful ski backflip performed by a mascot in full costume. The historic moment happened under clear skies on a perfectly built 10-foot park kicker in Mammoth’s Unbound terrain park. Witnesses say Woolly launched an estimated 20 feet into the air, tucked, spun, and landed cleanโsending the onlookers at the base of the jump into a frenzy.
Pulling off a flip is hard enoughโdoing it in a bulky costume takes it to another level. The stunt pushes the boundaries of what’s possible and confirms that Wooly is not just a photo-op figure: he is a legit park skier in his own right.
