Yer killin' me man!
Another best day ever
South wind overnight filled the top in
Climax first run, up to my knees, face shots all the way down. Hangman’s , second tracks on filled/ windbuff perfection!
Totally agree, easily the best days of the season for me and it’s uncrowded!Another best day ever...
Thanks for the mention Philpug! For the Spring we’re offering a 5pm checkout with a 3 night stay. If you’re in Mammoth for a race, a clinic/camp, or just want to ski first thing in the morning on your last day and pack up later, check us out.For those looking to rent in Mammoth, check out our sponsor: https://www.snowcreek5.com Here is our review of the unit: Mammoth Mountain and Pugski Sponsor's Condo
Do you mean like this? MapAny “unofficial” guides to Mammoth out there?
I still think it's worth it for a May trip. There will still be a lot of great terrain open up top - Gondi and chair 23- for when the bottom gets too soft and still plenty down low for a really fun morning. California spring skiing is just sensational after this much snowfall!Keep in mind the tentative closing dates for Canyon Lodge, Eagle Lodge and lifts near them is Easter, April 21, regardless of conditions. After Easter there will definitely be good skiing out of Main Lodge, including the gondola, but it might seem like long way to travel from Boston for a partially open mountain.
The skiing has been great the last few weeks. Windy though!

I could have filmed that!What a killer week, best conditions in awhile. If it wasn’t for a few hundred foot tomahawk / slide down wipeout this afternoon, would have been up with the best ever file.
The stockli’s were mind blowing on the groomers this morning .
Home for the weekend to heal.

At least it occurred on an appropriately named run! Rest up and get back at it-- I know I have been enjoying the pictures.What a killer week, best conditions in awhile. If it wasn’t for a few hundred foot tomahawk / slide down wipeout this afternoon, would have been up with the best ever file.

The drive from Reno to mammoth is an easy 3 hour drive. No chains were necessary for me on fri night 3/8. I had an suv rental with AWD, but never really needed it. The snow all came either before fri night or on sat night -- outside of my driving time windows. Make reservations for an SUV and a regular sedan and then cancel one or the other on the day-of, depending on current weather conditions. All the rental car companies allow reservations without credit card info.
Fly out of ontario or vegas only if you enjoy trading a 3 hour drive for one double that.
I am thinking about taking a lesson next week. Me old, slow, crotchety and dumb. Self taught. Anyone recommend an instructor at mammoth or June?
I had the pork chops tied to my ears so the dogs would play with me as a kid so I guess I check that box too.Thank God you're aren't too ugly!!
