Mammoth 24/25 - LET'S GET IT ON!!!

**Long duc dong** · 02-07-2025, 12:25 PM

Nice shots ESS!!

We were supposed to go up this weekend, but my wife bruised her foot and can't ski. I might go up tomorrow AM, but I'll probably ski locally and work through the weekend, then go up on Thursday AM next week for five days.

We haven't been up in a few weeks, busy and some travelling which is normally done in September. Hopefully this storm will add to the base, even if it underperformed. Our ski lease mates who are up there had a good time yesterday, but said it wasn't quite as all-time as they had hoped for.

Good skiing in all of the Avi chutes this afternoon with mostly smooth, soft wind blown snow. Still snowing lightly, moderate winds and the Top is socked in with clouds. Only downside is visibility is tough at times. No line on ch 22, but made the mistake of going down to Canyon once. It’s busy.

Yesterday was tasty!
Roger's, BlueOx, Aggies,lower lincoln so good!
Today was cream cheese refills all over. Visi was a bit challenging @ times.

Love those late day 22 laps! Probalby had my best few hours ever at Mammoth last year doing that...

Heading up on Thursday for 4 days with the family, hoping Ullr delivers some re-fills next week. Can't wait for the shit show of pres weekend...

Got to the Mtn at noon today (Sunday) and skied some of the best wind buff of the season. Definitely had to practice crowd management and choose your lifts wisely. Bottom Gondola was a no go with lines well out the door. I heard that it was 50+ minutes long on Saturday. Ch 23 lines were 7-8 minutes, and G2 had little to no line after 2:30.

Face of Ch 5.

Daves [emoji91].

The snow under Balls/Top of the World skied well.

The Wipe Out’s were the best skiing off the Top today imo.

Hero wind buff.

Late afternoon with perfect lighting=great skiing.

Looking down Wipe Out 2. Monday & Tuesday should be really good and then ( hopefully) some storm skiing towards the end of the week. [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji91][emoji91]

Looking at the cams it has started. The NWS forecast is for 4 - 6 feet of snow over Thursday and Friday. We will see how much sticks, as I want to ski during April and May.

2 feet overnight was a decent start, I don't think it was forecasted to be that much.

Big winds arriving soon, if you're headed up today, better try to book in Bishop as an insurance policy.

Killer buff the last couple of days. Currently sitting in the lodge seeing what develops.

Snow down to Big Pine, R1 for now with no closures but if the wind picks up I could see 395 getting shut down. About 30" on my buddy's porch as of 8am so looks like they are being a hair conservative on the overnight totals. Driving up at ass crack of dawn tomorrow.

It’s dumping! Stayed at my buddies place in Crowley last night and it’s pushing 2ft of new snow.

The drive from Crowley up to Mammoth was gnarly. Full on whiteout at times. Had to pull off at the Green Church Rd to clean off the wipers.

Followed the Cal Tran dude up to the 203 turn off. In town now seeing if anything steep enough to move opens.

One and Done! Chair 4 aka The Roller Coaster Exp opened and I gave it a go. Of all days on the mtn, storm days are my favorite and you don’t know if you don’t go, so I went. This storm day was not so good.

The ride up it was nuking down snow and the winds were blowing hard but it didn’t seem that bad, until I started skiing. Zero visibility. A total vertigo inducing, complete loss of spatial awareness, snow globe effect whiteout.

Here’s the latest wind speeds over ch 22 which is definitely closed.

This just flashed across my phone, 395 is closed 18 miles North of Bishop to June lake. I was staying with friends in Crowley, time for plan B and hit up my Mammoth bro. Good to have friends.

Anyone with a full ikon pass care to share a friend and family ticket before the 35% off expires? I'm blacked out this coming up Sunday. Hoping wife can ski with kids at June.

**Boomer28** · 02-13-2025, 09:37 PM

406, sent you a PM

**Jumper Bones** · 02-13-2025, 09:46 PM

406 let me know if you need further

**406** · 02-13-2025, 10:34 PM

All set, thanks guys!

Big slide at Canyon, does NOT sound good.

Edited to remove speculation.  Praying for the best

**jackstraw** · 02-14-2025, 07:31 PM

Yeah, hope the patroller is ok. Those folks are the best and wish them well

**Boomer28** · 02-14-2025, 08:00 PM

Rolled into town and heard the sirens, village gondy wasn’t running when I drove under it which I thought was weird. 5+ feet at house. Heavy secondary layer on top of a lighter first wave it looks like based on my back yard pit…hoping for the best but it sounded pretty bad. Reminder of the absolutely pice of shit people who refused to pay their trollers a few extra bucks and the bag of dicks they can eat. Fun job but also cop/babysitter/EMT/janitor/snow shoveler who also handles high explosives.
