Great week in Mammoth, skied wind buff from Dave's to Monuments. Killer groomers on Chr 25 & the race runs.
I did spend a couple of
high panic moments upside down & backwards in a tree well yesterday morning , head mostly above snow, but stuuuck solid.
Good Times...

Glad to hear your treehole event proved favorable end!
Just catchin up... I was able to get to MM Jan 10 thru 12. Most conditions were quite OK, but I did hear the word 'ice' more than I thought accurate. There were some firmer conditions, but also quite well groomed areas to have some great carving fun! Overall, I gave it a 7 out of 10, considering...
Some heavy winds on Sat 11, keep the open areas somewhat limited. But produced some of the best Wind-blown I've ever had - in the Dry Creek gully below Climax. I did a serious Yo-Yo through there all Sunday afternoon and had awesome variety of lines, in such a small area!
Crazy, sketchy was Dave's after lunch on Sun. I made a couple runs there and conditions were edgeable/firm. Coming down the side closest to Huevos, I had to do serious avoidance as multiple others did the high-speed slide down from top of Daves after their yardsale. After almost being hit by 4 guys plummeting by at my good guess was 35-40 mph, I decided it wasn't worth the risk, so back to Dry Creek...
Overall, had a great 3 days! Hoping to carve out some time again by end of Jan...
Would be fun to hookup with PugSkiers at any time!
