Mammoth 12/12-12/17

would anyone be interested in showing around definately 4 maybe more ECers who have never been out west before?

i don't even know if my friends woudl eb down with it (they might just want to explore) but it would be nice to know maybe where a good spot to build a booter, or somewhere we could ski the leftover pow from this week

we are going to be superuper stoked beyond beleif, i already am, i mean its 330 am and im posting this, jesus christ, 3 of us have never skied legit pow before....oh man...pow....ummm where was i....

any help would be appreciated

who are the mammy locals?

I'll be there on the 12th. This is the second season that I have a pass at Mammoth. I'm still getting to know the mountain better. There is a lot to explore. I'm sure that there are other maggots who know the place very well. Check out this roll call thread:
Mammy Roll Call for this weekend

I'm not going up till the 20th, but I can give you some hints (although you should be able to figure most of this out from checking out lift maps).

Chair 22: Lots of steep trees, and bump runs. This is where all the action is on a storm day when the top is closed (assuming the winds aren't too crazy)

Chair 23: This dumps you on a ridge-line with lots of interesting stuff. There isn't a tree in site, but you can find bumps, wide open bowls, narrow chutes, and truly extreme stuff off this lift.

The top (upper Gondola): Similar terrain to chair 23 (it accesses a lot of the same terrain), but the gondola isn't as easy to lap. However, you can access the left side of the mountain from here.

Chair 1/ Chair 2: On a really nasty storm day, this is where I ski if 22 is closed. Gravy chute is obvious (right under Chair 1), but it can be fun, and if you go left or right of the main chute, you can usually find some fun stuff that doesn't get tracked as quickly. Roger's Ridge (it's on the trail map, but I'm not going to tell you how to get there) is THE place for open bowl style skiing when the visibility is low and the winds are high.

I'm planning on being up there the 16th-18th. First days of the season. :o

I'd be down for some turns. The standard meeting time/spot would be Friday, 10:00 a.m. at the big map in front of the Mid Station. Any of the other SoCal clan gonna be there?

And, yeah, Bullet knows, uhh, NOTHING about Mammoth. :wink:

i'm gonna be up the 19th to x-mas day. finally getting my fatty-fat pow sticks mounted up. chair 23 is gonna get raped.

that is all.
