First person to get correct answer wins a prize pack of swag. Might be fun to keep this as an ongoing thread? My focus has shifted back to surf, now that winters is nearing its end, at least in the Tetons.

I would name it, but I'm a skier so apparently I can't surf for shit...

[Ottime]

Well, you don't have to surf well to name a place. Or spam the fuck out of this place

When I was 12 I used to get excited about bags of stickers.

I bet kingfisher wins this one. He surfs all the world's rad waves.

Really!!! At Mammoth it is really just in the middle. If you figure it really starts in December and ends at the end or April we are only about half way through. You can add part of November and part of May as well, with May being better than November if we have good coverage. I usually stop making the drive to Mammoth at the end of April, as all the driving up the 395 gets tedious after 12-15 trips, but I sometimes get one May weekend and it is usually fun. Mammoth always almost stays open until Memorial Day.

It sucks that Jackson closes that early. Is there a reason? I would think you guys should be able to ski good slush until the end of May, like we do.

I can't name that wave, but it looks great. It might be too fast for me, I can't tell from the picture, but it does look awesome for someone slightly better than me.

Indeed, plenty of slush skiing however when the snow starts to look like water I lean back towards frothing about surf. Most of us are here for deep, cold, really cold blower snow. By May each year, even usually April as of late I am over it. However my job does involve being on snow all winter so when its on it on. When its not I want to think of everything Butt...

Hows the village at Mammer? Been a while since I have been there 20+ years. Gondola into town now?

It is like every other Intrawest village. Faux alpine and generic. They do have a gondola into town, which I do use when I take the shuttle over there because it gets me to the mountain faster than going to main, but other than that I don't go there. I'm a weekender, not a local, but from what I hear from the locals the village has never become a real part of the community. It is overpriced and has never tried to cater to anyone other than the tourists. I don't know for a fact, but anecdotally many of the restaurants have not done well, there has been lots of turnover. When I lived in Tahoe the restaurants in Tahoe city always had good happy hour specials for food which kept the places busy during the week when the tourists were not there. The Mammoth village has not seemed to learn that lesson, although I could be wrong.

I should add that I don't party when I am in Mammoth. If I'm going to go out and party I will stay in socal. In years past I did go to some of the bars and clubs in the village and had fun, lots of women for a ski town, but they were almost all tourists which does not help a local who works on the weekends. I'm not suggesting Mammoth has a great ratio as that is only on the weekends, but the clubs were still fun. I only went out a few times, like I said socal has far more women so I never understood why someone would limit a skiing trip with a hangover when they could see more women back home. Now I'm married so we really don't go anywhere other than Roberto's for dinner, but I guess if you want to party the village is good for a ski town.

Overall I don't know if it has been a financial success. Based on the turnover it does not seem like it. As I said before, most locals don't seem to happy with it.

When does Jackson close? Does it have an early date?

[Ottime]

^^^^^early to mid April. The resort basically faces southeast, so there is that issue. Post February it is typically done, unless they stay in a storm cycle. That sun does its work once March hits.

Interesting. I have rarely seen a season in the Sierra, other than the last few which are an anomaly, where there was not either a good March or a good April. It was never done in February. The years I lived in Tahoe were the same, I never saw Squaw done with storms at the end of February.

Even when there's plenty of snow, I believe JHMR still has to close due to their lease agreement with the USFS. Although they sometimes do after season tram runs, I think. Not sure how that all works exactly.

[Ottime]

^^^true.

LDD- different climates as well. Our snow tends to arrive dense and quickly creates corn which is long lasting. Interior snow packs tens to go through a spring slide cycle and rot outside the ropes. Inside it tends toward mank. Although, if I lived there I'd be skiing into April. Just not traveling there those months. Better places to go. Whistler for instance.

Interesting. My ski budget is essentially spent on my ski lease and our season passes, so I rarely travel anyway, but if I do hit up Jackson I will try for a late January of February trip.

like in Mammoth people ski here well into June. However the resort closes early as base of the village is at 6,000 feet or so. Everything low turns to shit fast with the warming we have had as of late. Had a friend go ski some bigger lines last week asked him how it was his reply "it was great corn skiing" ....late Feb in the Tetons..

I can't afford to support Jackson Hole as season passes are $1800 and day tickets over $100. However when I did have pass thanks todd... it was great mountain to ride on powder days! I now stick to the pass and Targhee. I like cold pow, when its warm or corn and I would much rather be surfing, any day of the week!

Snow is coming, however with warm temps. It's one thing to sit in the rain in PNW, in the Rockies however its a bummer. My focus now is honestly on finishing up these reviews and getting a nice surf trip in. Especially seeing this:


se habla espanol? si? your fucking stoked as central and south America have been pumping for the past few months, waters uber warm..
