Thanks, divegirl. This needed to be called. Might have to do one of those all caps ofishal call threads with a poll on dates. Unless this happens to be the one that works for you. I'm good with it.

Best party of the year!

At this rate tioga pass should be open. I heard they are going to open the road to the gate this weekend.

I plan to be there. Looking forward to meeting the little one in person. It will be great to ski with you two too.

Cool that it might be so early. Fucking depressing as to why.

He has been shredding Mammoth with his son^^^
Looking forward to tearing up Rafters with you Pat. I will be prepared....

I can't deal with you and Big Tim not being there, Chris.
Neither Casa Raftere' nor the mountain would be as lively.
Mothers Day is always problematic...

Rafters will not be the same without big Tim and crew. I'm still laughing about the guy that took his shirt off and threw it across the room as he walked onto the dance floor. Not a bad entrance

How about Memorial Day weekend? Don't know how the snow is doing, but it makes for a longer weekend, and is great to drink beer on the beach in warm sunny weather, unlike some of the arctic minis of the recent past.

Damn, any weekend but mom's day. My mom is getting up there and I really like to be with her that day. Hope some maggots are up for some easy touring with the fur kids and I, assuming I can make it.

Last few times I made it to mammy on Memorial Day it was cold and snowy. Not that I would complain about that. I can't make MD, but not sure if I'd be able to swing it anyway. Hope too. As Splat said. Best party of the year.

Isn't that a three day weekend yet?

How about a Mammoth Micro each of the first three weekends in May (5/4-5, 5/11-12, 5/18-19) as a warm up for a Memorial Day weekend Mini? I doubt that any resorts will be open around these parts in May other than Squalpine.

I doubt Squawlpine will even be open at this rate. Maybe just AM and not Squaw, like last year. Maybe.

The view at Mammoth (on 3/23/13) looking up past the tips of my Lhasas from the lower Gondy:

This should give an idea of current coverage. Hopefully Mother Nature will provide some refills in the coming months.

Bump...what's the call?

I'll post some pics later today, but the upper mountain is still fat, but lower elevations are burning out fast. There are no steps walking on/off the Gondi at mid and top stations.

How is the windbuff on the upper mountain? I ask because I'm deciding whether to head up tomorrow at 4 am or surf this weekend. Thanks in advance.

I can't do Mother's Day weekend, it's probably the last time I'll have my mom here to celebrate her.

I'll be up next weekend (the 12th), and definitely one more time before end of season. May 3rd works for me.

I have a bunch of BAF invites left, if anyone needs one.

Momma Day- no can do.

Memorial Day- will be on a yacht in the Maldives.

Any weekend in between I can do. If there's hookers and blow, that will increase the probability of me being there.

One of these days...I need to replace my truck this year so will stick round CO til mid May...but one of these I will attend.

It has been called. Cinco de Mini works for us.
We'll be there hopefully Friday through Sunday with the mini-magette and her ton of baby stuff in tow.
Will be looking for some BAF hookups.

Question now is what is better with the baby: Stay up at the Mammoth Inn so when the kid goes down to nap and someone has to watch her we can do that in an easily accessed room walking distance to the skiing or would it be better to rent Asandygals studio which would be baby-monitor distance from the party/hot tub at night?

As usual I have a bunch of BAF invites.

I don't have any friends so I can't use them
