im curious about you guys that go up for just a day or two from the LA/SD area....
do you typically get a hotel? or do you have friends you stay with up there?
i REALLY want to get in as close to 30 days as possible this year so to make it economical i was looking to some temporary room rentals/sublets to see if i could get it cheaper than a hotel...
on CL i found a couple of guys renting rooms for like 500/month, so what i wrote to them was a proposition of having 3-4 guys share the room with intermittent visits....essentially maybe a bunk bed or 2, mini-fridge and an old crappy tv or something....im fine with my sleeping bag/pad, just want a place to sleep and shower
if any of you all are interested in something like this let me know, obviously in the spirit of the thread too if people are...we could look further into ride sharing
Bootpacked Terry's Run at Mammoth on Friday and seriously regretted not bringing AT gear. There's enough snow right now to avoid rocks, and the knee-to-waist deep postholing was not too fun. Nevertheless, it skied great!

Also, a few scenics:
Nice!
It is starting to get tough. So close....Here is hoping for some nice wet storms to start the base out right.

FYI let's remember Howard is a Real Estate Agent NOT A WEATHER GUY, all of us have access to the same info he is sharing. What really sucks is when he copy and pastes info and claims it is his own writing.

Lol, I can tell you're from LA man. I'd personally advise you to buy a good sleeping bag and tent, you can easily find many places to camp in the Mammoth/Mono Lakes region. Either that or sleep in the car/car camp. To spend 500 a month for a place if you're going up only on weekends seems a bit silly to me. If you figure spending $3000 (Dec-April), you could easily use this money as an investment for some badass snowcamping gear which you could use for years to come. I bought a really nice Marmot -20f bag for $600 bucks 2 years ago, and it has more than paid for itself already. Just my .02

You can usually spot his own writing by the spelling mistakes he makes (e.g., "take a brake", "trof", ...).

I figured since we got yelled at by MMSA employees for poaching, it deserves a spot in the BC thread.
I always thought that the Mountain was Forrest Service land and leased by the ski op. Is that not the case? I dont recall any prohibition against hiking the mountain when skiing ops were closed when I was a kid there
Staking my spot in this to-be-epic thread. Gotta get the most out of my MVP. Now I just need to find a benefactor with a plane who will regularly fly me from the Bay Area to MMH once 120 closes.
I'm definitely going to get in more days at Mammoth and BC days down there than my pathetic mini-only in the past.

In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.
