Thread: Mammoth Mini 2012 - April 19 -22

Wish I could join the fun. Hope to see a TR. Anyone need a lift ticket?

I'm in...

I have held out hope until the end, but alas I can't get away from work. So much for being the boss and being able to do what I want. Fucken employees

Last week was good, not this time. Enjoy mags

6 pack of PBR to the first person who slaps this East Coast gaper in the nuts.

Much appreciated.

^^^wow, luckily that out fit was not seen today. Thanks to Big Tim, his family and friends for the killer carne and pollo asada lunch. I won't forget to bring beers tomorrow.

Next year I'll meet up with you kooks now that I am back in SoCal. I missed Mammoth, I'll take it inbounds over Whistler inbounds most days. I am done with greybird for now.

great snow this a.m. skiing with Splat. Tomorrow should be even more fun.

Tell him to stop pocket dialing me! And tell him we finally got some snow in Colorado, so I'm not even jealous.

ps - I'll be there next year. Planning on it.

En route now. Not sure what time we'll be arriving, might try to stop by grumpy's tonight? Anyone wanna catch some turns tomorrow?

In town and killing PBRs. Will be training for Alaska tomorrow on 183 fats.

Piggity, look for Mags at the Mill. Splat had a few pairs of Bros/Lhasa Pows leaning up against the glass, so you should spot him easy. I will have a white shell and green pants on, so say hi and we can do a few laps.

Heading up tonight. Let me know where you guys will be.

PICS PICS! I am frothing over here...

Seriously, we need some pics. I have to take my daughter to a fucking dance recital today. That'll be cute and all, but I've seen it all before and I want some good maggot porn.

Sick day today. Posting from my phone so not sure how this photo attachment works

I saw the crew over on Chair 5 but I was on a mission of my own today, despite the phone trying to screw me by lowering the vertical skied on each run by 150-250 feet

Toomey's Lobster Taquitos and grilled pork rack chop, yup

That there is one amazing feat! Care to divulge your strategy? I'll understand if no

^and Toomey's in town has been one kickass addition.

I'm pretty sure I actually got shorted pretty severely. For instance, mammoth lists chair 5 as 1066 vert feet, but most of my runs there registered as ~830 vert feet. Same held for all the other chairs. I pretty much went all over the place, but a lot of runs on chair 5 since the small bumps were awesome and the chair is so fast. For someone who doesn't care about variety and just wants the most vert, go for chair 5.

Edit: I did get shorted since I wasn't stopping at the bottom of the runs long enough. The GPS generally turned off about 200-250 feet up the chair, so I lost that amount of vert on the runs. Happened on about 40 of my runs, so my actual total was much closer to 80,000.

Managed to catch some chair 5 laps with the gang today but same as skeeze was having too much fun ripping high speed laps. Dinner at Toomeys seemed to be the theme. Clocktower Cellar for brews. More tomorrow...only took one pic today, sorry Sinecure.

I took a few today.
First, Bros:

(186 Lhasas, 186 All Carbon Lhasas, 187 Fats, 191 Fats)

Spats skiing Hangman's:




The snow was so good we returned again...

...Spats enters the white corn room...



...yes the gondola will take you on the way to Hangman's...


The choke was starting to get a bit chocolate chippy by mid afternoon, but the surfable sluff below the choke makes it worthwhile.

Current view

wow. Winter might be over in some places but it isn't in Mammoth. Great times skiing with rippin mags. Salted runs stayed fast and we chased the turn around the mountain, catching the best glop just as it unfroze. Forgot my camera Friday and Saturday, gave up trying to get on the hill today due to a massive hangover. Mountain had a good crowd, the sun was shining and full on spring skiing was had. I haven't laughed so fucking hard in years, as our condo crew just ruled for having fun. We shut down Rafters last nite after totally taking over the dance floor with a kickass band that cranked it up for us. Women in the bar from high school girls to cougars were coming out to dance with our crew and it turned into a full tilt screamer at every level. The party continued until 2:30 at the condo, where the local residents got somewhat perturbed and were still talking about our wild this morning. I couldn't get on my skis this am after last nite, so I drove home once I felt like my demolished brain could handle the drive. Holy shit we killed it at every level.

edit: From Rafters last night. Blurry iphone pics of mags and future mags...

Sounds like good times.

Mammoth Mini v2.0 in May?
