What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?
I'm not going to believe any of these rumors until I see something on the website. That said, I've already booked motel 6 for Saturday night, and I will be incredibly disapointed if they aren't open by Sunday.
Hmmm, since I'm not going to be up there until Sunday, maybe they'll have more of the mountain open by then.
You're paying? How nice of you!Quote:

When and where on Saturday?
Anti, be as skeptical as you like, but my word comes straight outta that meeting they had this afternoon. That's their target. I have a friend deep inside and it's 99.9% with confirmation coming later tonight. And by the way, there's nothing stopping them in the way of money or staff or any of that. They can scramble and do it, no prob.
I wish I could hang out this weekend and meet all you maggs who are road tripping it from utah and oregon but I have to be in LA this weekend. PM me for my cell, anyone who will be there on Thursday.
However, I will be in Mammoth for Halloween weekend...
and to add to the mix:
Damn, that storm is almost pornographic.
Oh, well in that case. Stay home. I hear the weather's nice out there. :DQuote:

MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN TO OPEN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2004
Mammoth Mountain, CA Early season storms have dumped over three feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain allowing the California resort to open this Thursday, October 21. This marks the resorts earliest opening in 10 years and the best opening in recent history, a full three weeks prior to the scheduled opening of November 11.
Wind and weather permitting, two chairlifts will open Thursday allowing access to 5 trails. Due to the storms, we havent seen the upper mountain in three days. Once the storm clears well evaluate how much more we can open, said Gary Reitman, General Manager of Outside Operations for Mammoth Mountain. The resort plans to open four lifts and additional terrain for what is expected to be a busy weekend.
Early season is a great time to set the tone for winter. With good conditions and great values, theres no better time to hit the slopes. Lift and lodging packages are available for early season skiing and riding with rates as low as $70 per person per night based on double occupancy. Visit MammothMountain.com or call 800.MAMMOTH for all the details.
Hours of operation are 8:30am-4:00pm daily. Value season lift ticket prices are $50 adults, $37 for youth and $25 for children and seniors. Early season obstacles exist. Visit MammothMountain.com or call the snow report hotline at 888.SNOW.RPT for all the latest weather and snow conditions.
edit: Chair 1 and 11 on Thursday. Chair 2 and 6 on Saturday. Gondi unknown.
Where the hell is that damn skiing banana?! I need the skiing banana damnit!!!
It's official then :)
(I never actually doubted that they would open, I just doubted some of the rumors)
I'll be there on Sunday. Mid-chalet at 10?
I'm in for Thursday and Friday. Saturday is up in the air though. I might have to be in LA early Sat. am.
$50 for a VALUE season ticket??? Whats the regular price
and I thought EC tickets were expensive
There's a deal with all Mammoth properties right now. You can get a Stay & Ski for Free package. Then you get vouchers (up to 2 per "person" each day, rooms are double occupancy anyway) for a free lift ticket good anytime this year. I'll leave the rest up to the creative thinkers who already have passes. ;)
Mammoth Mountain Inn is $115/night. I wonder if my discount will apply too...
