Splat and I have called it in chat. Official date for the mini, April 28 (thursday) through Sunday, May 1.

Get your butts to Mammoth, it'll be rocking. I'll plan a party and help arrange lodging (I can get a great deal on a couple condos). Also, we can plan carpools from SF, LA and Reno.

After being there a couple weeks ago, I miss Mammy already :biggrin:

I'd be very interested in doing some backcountry the days preceeding the mini. Please keep me in the loop! I'm hungry for some hiking!! Let's do Mt. Tom.

I'll be there. Doubt I can make it up before Friday night, but I'll definitely be there over the weekend.

I figure that with all of us Season Pass holders at Mammoth, we've got to have at least 10 Bring A Friend coupons -- I'll donate my two, to start things off. It makes the lift ticket $36 instead of 60something and up to 3 people can use one coupon (but you have to a buy multi-day ticket on Friday and no later).

Come on PNWers and ECers and anyone skunked this year -- get your butt to Mammoth!

02-14-2005, 04:23 PM

Trigger pulled. :cool:

- Arrive LAX @ 7:15 P.M. 4/27

- Mammogrammy Mammy :yourock: 4/28-5/1

- Depart LAX @ 11:34 A.M. 5/2

Booya!

Spats

02-19-2005, 12:04 AM

PSA:
LAX is twice as far away as RNO.
LAS is the same distance as LAX, but flights are often much cheaper.
And Mammoth spring skiing is the shit.

With this year's excellent snowpack and an earlier summit date, a lot more of the mountain should be skiable than last year.

I am also up for some east side touring.

First run of the day right to the Top of the World; that's what we call a "backcountry warm-up". Hike up and drop in. Add a Pilsner? OK, I'm game.
I'll have to put in an apperance because I think the entertainment value that week will be pretty high!

Guys - let me know if anyone needs lodging. I can get the condo next door to the one we have for the same price (75/person for the weekend), I think, but won't look into it unless there's a need.

Carpooling from LA will be easier to plan as we get further into April...

That's right around when I'm planning to leave work (if the grad school + finances thing works out). Might just try to get my EC ass there.

I'll put it on my calendar to be there that weekend too. I won't need lodging, and can help out in the carpool department from LA if anyone is in need... of couse, we've got lots of time to sort that out.

Squirrel99

03-01-2005, 05:55 PM

I'm thinking about heading down to Mammy on Thursday 4/28, then leaving on Sunday 5/1.

Most likely flying into RNO, as it is the cheapest option with the best flight schedule from SEA.

However, if some people would want to car pool from SEA/B-Ham, PDX/Hood, Eugene, Bachelor - we could easily arrange the carpool via the lovely I-5.

I'm definitely in for Mammy. But will need to wait on some other PNW'ers before confirming flight or driving details.

I'm stoked to see so many EC and PNWers heading to Mammoth for the mini...

If I had gotten any Mammy coupons, I'd be happy to share them. I called them to let them know I hadn't received any, and they gave me the standard runaround. Bastards.

03-02-2005, 08:50 PM

I've got all the details nailed down except two:

I arrive in L.A. on April 27th & depart for Detroit on May 2nd.

Can anyone (preferably near LAX proper) put me up on the night of April 27th and May 1st? If so, I've got a case of beer or a fifth of liquor with your name on it.

Also, I need a ride to/from Los Angeles to the condos in Mammoth. Will split gas & driving if necessary.

I can get myself to/from LAX on my own.

03-10-2005, 10:53 AM

Dingle, why don't you make the sticker round and outline the circle in pink?

I dig the pink.

yogachik

03-10-2005, 11:04 AM

Dingle - what about instead of a skier (I ride) using the Wooly Mammoth logo in the background, in white? And something that looks more consistent with the other summit stickers? Kudos to you for taking this task on.
I dig the pink.

TheDingleberry

03-10-2005, 12:12 PM

13- I am not feeling the circle. All the other summits have it, why be like them? Do we really need to standardize the sticker?

Yoga- I tried to pull a good Mammoth logo (Wooley) but as of yet I have not found it.

Another idea:

Edit: I like this clean look.

03-10-2005, 12:20 PM

03-10-2005, 12:27 PM

Yeah I got that one but it's sketch when it gets transfered to b&w. I'll keep on it though.

03-10-2005, 12:52 PM

Good point on the standardization. How about making 'em oval shaped?

Or... Boob shaped, a la Rossi Scratch topsheets? I'm just not feeling the square.

YC's Mammoth logo idea is sweet.

Whatever you do, please NO PINK! Pink isn't punk, it's Cindy Lauper. Pleast let it go.

what about fuscia?

TheDingleberry

03-10-2005, 03:37 PM

If you basically had that Wooly medallion with PM across the front, that would be my vote. Plus Wooly is a maggot, so that would be extra cool.

Whatever you do, please NO PINK! Pink isn't punk, it's Cindy Lauper. Pleast let it go.

Not feeling the circle. Another factor is cost if the colors are white/red/black it is about 2/3 less than with 1 or two colors.

Without pink:

03-10-2005, 03:53 PM

Thank you Arty for bringing sense into this thread. Dingle, that last one is money, like the bomb.

yogachik

03-10-2005, 08:08 PM

Dingle (and CS) - all this needs is a "Hello, My Name is ________" and then lamination.

Back to the drawing board, my friend. :yourock:

TheDingleberry

03-10-2005, 08:33 PM

"Hello, My Name is ____D-I-N-G-L-E, Dingle.____"

Cool. What do I win?

Edit: OK here's the deal, I am heading to Utah this weekend, I will be back next week. Voice what you like and don't like and if you want a circle design you might want to ask someone else to create the sticker.

Cost for 125 sticekers (min) is about $130 with 2 colors, $120 with one color on a varity of vinyl backings.

Cost for 250 stickers (min) with ONLY Red/White/Black colors on vinyl is about $40.00.

I think this one is pretty solid:

FYI Yoga -- Mrs. Shoe can't make it down these dates, but I am still in. She wasn't already booked for a pilates conference/training thing, and I double booked her, and she can't get out of her original commitment.

So I guess there is an extra space available in the condo. Since I paid for the 2 of us, if anyone needs crash space maybe they can just pay me directly or something?

Hey and isn't that guy frerad a Sac maggot? No one's ever met him........maybe he's going to the mini?

Another option - I drive my honda down there and you and nater can get rides with me, and we all bring tents and camp out. This is all yet to be determined.....

I may get a non-maggot or two to go - a co-worker or possibly a gaper skiing nephyte friend out from the bay area. I dunno. No one's committed yet.

I dug the camping part, and had a blast doing it. My only concern is if some weather moves in...

Another question: how's the drive from Reno to Mammoth? Is it doable in three hours? Less?

Ubersheist

03-15-2005, 04:44 PM

Is it doable in three hours? Less?

Lessee - I'd say it's pretty doable, but only if you don't stop for nuthin', and you drive your car like it was stolen. It's 160-170 miles of driving with only minor amounts of curvy driving. A more realistic time would be 3 1/2 or more with a stop included.

Really enjoyed the Mammoth Video, and really nice tribute to Dave. Watched it about 5 times over and over. Looking forward to a spring corn fling down there soon, maybe during the Summit. Ended my season down there last May 17th, and started my season there 1st weekend of Oct this year. Really enjoy Mammoth, after finding it again after 20 years or so.

Thanks for the Video

I like it Tuffy - Dingle, I appreciate all of your efforts but, as I said before, it looks very official, like it needs laminating and a "Hello, My Name is...". Tuffy's is more consistent with all the PM stickers etc. And I think all the PM stickers should be consistent, why change what ain't broke?

Tuffy - I miss the PM across the Woolly, though. And maybe tetongravity.com across the top, instead of Powder Maggot?

That's my vote, no offense to anyone.

First off what is a Mammoth Mini and secondly I have some friends/family vouchers from working there this year that I won't be using due to my injured state if anyone wants/needs a couple drop me a line. I think i have 2-3 and they are 50% off coupons.
A mammoth mini is just a long weekend when a bunch of us internet geeks get together and ski/board, party, drink, and ski/board. Oh and sometimes there is a raffle where we get free shit. Mini just recognizes the fact that it's not a "summit" which includes the whole slew of us, but instead, is usually limited to locals - ie. less than 500 miles away or so.

Hey - are your coupons good for weekends, too? In that case, I'll take two of them!! You heard it here first! :D

Hey - are your coupons good for weekends, too? In that case, I'll take two of them!! You heard it here first! :D[/QUOTE]

the back of the voucher sez "Not valid for groups or clubs." OK! We are NOT together :eek:
"Limit up to 3 friends per card, (you may buy multi day tickets and receive discount). One time use only"

I'll be doing b/c, Matterhorn, Tom, and Emerson or sumthing along those lines, the week leading up to this MS.

Schralper - the voucher you have is different from the voucher that 50kleg is offering up. Yours sounds like the Bring A Friend thing that we're all bringing to give out to mini-goers - and Divegirl, with those you have to purchase your tix on a Friday, I believe (buy a 3 out of 4 day ticket at the coupon price).

Regarding the sticker - I'm not judge and jury so, Dingle, no need to drop out until we've heard from others.

AND, Lincoln mtn is barely spinning!

BTW, if it hasn't already been mentioned, April 24 is the predetermined closing date for Canyon Lodge.

Keep the stoke alive and get out here NOW if you can! Snow should be continuing until this Friday!

Chair 22 didn't even run today. 16 didn't spin until nearly 2pm. Got laps on the chair-22 liftline run (deep and light every time) by double-chairing 17 to 4 instead.

I'll likely be flying from MSP on Wed or Thurs. to arrive in RNO @ 11:00 PM. No tickets yet, so it's open to change. Limited on flights back to MSP on Sunday or Monday (640AM or 1210PM). If there's no other carpooling, we could probably split a car...

It looks like there will be enough to fill that second condo, but I really don't want to book it (and pay) unless I know there's at least 4 people.
Mammoth is recording a total of 525" this season (so far, and it's still snowing), a base of 18 feet!

This mini is in exactly one month, so book those flights :)

Yoga,
I should get the final confirmation from my boss either today or tomorrow so I can confirm my plane ticket.

Mini just recognizes the fact that it's not a "summit" which includes the whole slew of us, but instead, is usually limited to locals - ie. less than 500 miles away or so.

Correction. Minis are not limited to locals. Mini is more of a temporal designation. The full summits are week long affairs. Minis take up a long weekend. See the Utah minis for reference. People from all over the continent go to those.

Yes - and especially true for this Mini. Many mags are flying in. And with 15" fresh yesterday and 3 storms lining up - end of April will be awesome.

Now on to the important news: I got Lakanuki to give our group drink specials and possibly food specials for the 30th. But I need someone (paging Dingle) to design a Maggot Pass for us to show the bartenders and servers to get the discount - something easy for us to print out at home. I'm still in conversation about exactly what kind of drink for the discount - he offered well drinks, or maybe a specialty drink or two (he said margs).

Other news. I stayed in a very reasonably priced condo that is huge and sleeps tons (2 sets of bunks, a king, 2 pullouts and a huge living room) that was only $150/night - $388 for the weekend with taxes and booking fee. I highly recommend it. Email for info - I still haven't heard back from my friend, but that one is $420 so this one is better, although not central to the Village like the other, it's near Vons. But by the end of April, Canyon is closed so you have to drive to the mountain anyway.

Couple questions from a jong-

Is there a wide array of skier abilities at these summits? Or is everyone a big mountain ripper-type?

Is it kosher for someone who knows no one on the board to come to a summit? That would be me.

I'm looking into rolling out there cuz it sounds like it's a damn good time, just gotta work the details out.

Any rides from Reno available? or anywhere else for that matter, since I don't own a plane ticket yet.

What mountain is this? I skied something that vaugely resembled Hangman's the other day, except the exit was 50 ft wide. Skied something that vaugely resembled Phillipes, but there was no rock drop (no rock period) at the exit. The drop out the end of Starr Chute if you were to stay skiiers left is about as big as the drop out of phillipe's used to be. Cowboy rock (under 22) looks as big as Potato rock (under Broadway express). Potato rock looks like, wait what potato rock :confused: ? But damn it we need more snow, you still have to walk down two steps to get out of the gondola at the top :mad:

Access is gonna be the issue. A LONG skin in unless there's some serious melt in the next couple weeks. I was just sledding on McGee on Sun, when the 100 mph winds moved in. Howling, oh yeah! The when up to Virginia lakes on Mon. & Tues. Dunderberg peak, pretty fun. Black Mtn is on the hit list, now. Still SO much snow! Opening day of fishing season is the last Sat of the month.

Squirrel, I was thinking the same thing. I'd absolutely love to ski Bloody. But Schralper brings up a good point. There's a dirt road that most people take to get close the base of the couloir in spring. Only problem, it's probably buried right now. From what I understand, it's a loooong slog unless you can drive up said road.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Maybe the ridgeline that runs from Bloody to behind Mammoth. Seems like there's lots of options there and we could yo-yo it. Tioga could be sweet, but the gate's not gonna open for a while. Virginia Lakes is :eek: , but I've only looked at it before. Never skied back there so I don't know much about winter access.

YES it is a LONG slog to get to bloody from just off Sherwin rd. That's where the snows at now.
Tioga maybe open late May. Damn! Or cool depending on how ya look at that. Just wish the gate was open! :fuckyou:
V Lakes is way cool. But still access, unless they plow out the road to the lake. I'll check on it on the way down. Was just there last week, like 5 ? mile approach to Dunderberg. Good turns and terrain just transistional snow. Black mtn. looks NICE and STEEP. Near Mammy, McGee is right off the road and might be ok, Laurel is on my wish list. Something by Convict lake, day trip from lot? Or McGee Cr? Maybe up towards the crest?? We can roshambo to decide where, when we know who's in and what the snows lookin like. :cussing:

There'll probably be a few that'll stick only to single black diamonds, the bulk will ski anything on a trail map, and a pretty large portion are the "big mountain ripper-types."

Except if MrNohills & I make the trek to Mammoth. :( This is exactly why I'm hesitating.

I'm heading up with a buddy that's pretty bad... he'd certainly hold y'all up, if anything.

I say, head out, meet us all, and see what it's really like. Hesitate only after you find out first hand that you don't have fun with us! ;)

Mammoth's pretty good for a variety of abilities in that there's almost always an easy way down in close proximity to the tougher stuff. Therefore, it's pretty easy to meet up with the not-so-good skiers at the a chairlift. If you can get down a groomed, single black diamond, then you can ride any lift and get to the same places that the rest of the crew is heading to.

Also, you gotta remember that this is spring skiing. It's a different mentality... It's much more of a party atmosphere then your typical mid-winter powder day. I think you're worrying too much!

Oh, I KNOW we'd have fun!

We can get down single black diamonds in MI.

I think I worry too much, too. :biggrin:

I've got space in my car for one or two leaving L.A. Thrusday morning, coming back Monday morning. If anyone is interested in splitting gas either up, back, or both, PM me.

I'm too lazy to read through 9 pages of tuffy and yoga flirting, and I'm too poor to spend a ton of money on lodging. So what's the scoop? Is there a condo I can get in on? Is someone looking to split a Motel 6 room?

(I figure I can be all demanding like this, since I organized the condo for the first annual Maggot Mini way back 2003.)

How many peeps camping? I got a number of last minute guys showing up and we might just camp rather than throw down on rooms. Plus they get a little rowdy and it will lessen the chances of getting thrown in jail.
Me and DG still are. Although I think all the close in places to town and the mountain will be deep in winter still. Maybe hot springs camping or Convict/McGee canyon areas? I guess we'll pretty much just show up and see.
Also, can anyone in the condos house my bike? Since I am not skiing, I am thinking about bringing the bike and hitting some lower elevation trails but don't want to keep it sitting in the back of my truck in the open when partying at nights.

Sorry, I cannot - every inch of space in that condo is taken.

to answer some PMs - those arriving in the wee hours and don't know how to hook up on friday or saturday: we'll have a meeting place both mornings, probably the mid-mountain McCoy big sign at 10AM. When Splat works out the tickets (which I'll also work on this week), we'll have a meeting place to purchase tickets, probably the Main Lodge Guest Services at 9AM.

We'll do a cell number exchange, if necessary. I'll start a new thread with all logistics when everything's set.

I'll be at the Motel 6 as well. My flight gets into Reno 4/28 @ 11:00 PM so I'll be arriving 4/29 in the wee hours of the AM. Got the room for Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Got a room for myself, so if someone want to split it, pm me.

Did we come to any sort of decision on stickers? Who? What design? How many?

I can still try to see if the company in New Hampshire can do an express order.

Why not see how much that would be? We'd need about 100 stickers, I think.

500 is the minimum order. Given the last order, I'm guessing it'll be about 200 to 250 for that much.

Do it? ...brown or pink? probably can't do both.

shmerham

04-21-2005, 01:10 PM

I told them no:

Weather Proof 2 Color labels 2" Dia
QTY: 250 - 312.54
QTY: 500 - 354.56 Plus alittle Shipping

The turnaround time is as follows: If I email the artwork in today by 4 O'Clock the order will be processed today and shipped out on Tuesday and we would have the order in Wednesday.

That's $4/person IF everyone buys stickers. ...and I wouldn't be able to get them wednesday anyhow.

yogachik

04-21-2005, 02:02 PM

I wouldn't do any more than 500 (the minimum). Split it 250 each for each color (personally, I'd get the pink). Is that still $4 a person?

Is this really the cheapest deal? I know next to nothing about printing/graphics.

If you start planning it a week in advance I don't think it's impromptu anymore.

I won't be up to tour on Friday. If anyone is looking to tour on Saturday or Sunday. Mt. Wood would be a good idea. Lots of vertical and not a difficult approach. I'd do Bloody. I can't speak about the road and the approach length right now. It may be long (but not as long as Langley - See Bullet2's thread). Mini-Morrison. Laurel (the Mendenhall was super-filled in and as easy as it gets over Eastern). So many b/c lines in the Mammoth area. The Bishop area has several other options.

Feel free to send me a private message if you want to tour over the weekend.

If anyone remembers 1995 (Mammoth closed on August 13th that year), it looks like the coverage this year is about the same.

Just in case anyone was on the fence, this is the year to go.
