You're a scholar and a gentleman, Sir!

I drove down to Mammoth today and spun some laps with old friends. Good snow was located. I counted ten million people. They were not riding 23 or G2, thankfully

Hopefully a new thread is what we need to get the season going!

For recommendations, I'll add doorstep deliveries. We've always had great luck using them. If you call them directly the delivery rate is lower.

Looks like some snow coming in later this week. I'm guessing it's not enough to bring the touring skis, but is there any worth while nordic near Mammoth? No grooming required.

Town trails and also Nordic up by the lakes. June lake loop Rd. All snow dependent. Some old guy was living in a tent near the loop Rd out by 395, ski in and check in him..

^Yes plenty of snow for nordic by tamarack up lake mary road, park at the gate. Made a snowman there last week, you can check out the gate cam off the cams on the MM website.

Thanks. Am I accurate about the touring conditions right now, or are there areas with a base?

[TahoeJ]

Just curious, how were the crowds over the past holiday week?

Feels accurate. Definitely thin coverage. Where they've been blowing snow, there's good coverage.

I left town on the 23rd. Crowds weren't as bad as typical weekends imo. An employee I was talking to said last year they were making over a "million dollars a day" in late Dec, and maybe they made a couple million in all of December. But I don't know if that's a real stat. No big storms means fewer cheeseburgers sold right.

We just spent two days up - 12/31 and 1/1. I pulled up at 10:00 am on Sunday to park within site of Mill. Pretty slim crowds. There was one point that day there was probably a 15 minute wait at Stump. Besides that, you could find 5 minutes or less lift lines as long as you stayed away from beginner areas. Yesterday was front row park the Mill before 8 am. When we left, parking stretched a bit farther away than the day before. The opened chair 5 yesterday. Overall, pleasantly surprised at how well it skied and how few the crowds were.

Side note - my daughter always enjoys ice skating. The architecture sucks but the LA Kings name is on a new big ice rink in town. They should have taken notes from the town of Bend. She had a great time doing open skate for 90 minutes. A good option to shake it up with the kids.

Fingers crossed storm tonight let's June get a few more runs open. Kids have been having fun regardless.

depends on your definition of base
where there is any, it is rock solid, which is also the case where there is none.
I won't leave home without them.

I need to get down there. I need my fix. I think with this thread made and even just a little more snow, it'll be time.
