I think I may have to pass on this one as it is too depressing. Too warm to even make snow now. It was 65 on the mountain today. If Mammoth has any balls and wants to do the right thing they will postpone the opening until a future date. If they still open Thursday, this weekend is going to be fun to watch on the cams.

Last I saw was $63...WTF, but dumb fook LA gappers will blindly pay for it and then bitch, piss, moan, and whine about the crappy conditions

I'm planning on going. Too bad it's $63 - that's way too much $$. I hope the conditions don't suck. If it's crappy I'll be pissed.

The official ski report sounds optimistic too. At least you may be able to go over Tioga Pass. :nonono2:

We started making snow on October 29th but unfortunately, warm temperatures have inhibited our snow making capabilities for the last few days.

For anyone planning to be here for opening day, please note that we will have very limited terrain on man-made snow. We plan to have the Broadway Express lift running with skiing on Broadway. Please ski and ride with caution - early season obstacles do exist and there will be limited snow coverage. Also, please note that we will not have any beginner terrain available until further notice.

How can you hate golf? It's another good excuse to consume beer.

PUSSIES!!!! Like making a couple crappy turns, having multiple brews, hitting some balls, hiking to the crest, or picking up some discounted linens at polo isn't fun - Ha! Well f.u. then. Guess I'll do it myself. Not sure if Bag-O and I can handle all the excitment :rolleyes2 .

And bodhi - you'll end up drinking about $250 worth of beer in PB anyways......

blahblahblahblah

someone mention a swell this weekend?

I could just save some $$$$ by drinking the sixer of Magic Hat #9 I brought back for you from Vermont this summer--it is still chillin in my fridge just waiting for an excuse for me to accidently devour it... "Sorry, Barn my boy...":p ;)

Have fun up there this w/e and shoot some pictures of the muck. Maybe you can talk Erica and Sandygal into some good 'ol throwdown mudwrestling.:D

peace,

Yeah, was considering it for the weekend, but ummmm....I'm officially out. Even if they do decide to fire the lifts up, I think I'll just keep on mountain biking, playing soccer, and praying to Ullr.
