One of the better, earliest 1st days of the season yesterday. Did a cannonball run with CMER leaving LA at 4am, was on the lift before 8:30am.
Weather was borderline spring-like with lots of sun, hardly any wind and even some corn on the lower parts of the mountain. Some nice wind-buffed snow all over the place with limited amounts of crust and a few nice pockets of pow in the shadier upper areas. All in all a really great day, Cole is a good mag (who rips) and gave me a great tour of Mammoth (my 1st time there) despite my slow, out of shape ass trying to keep up with him.
Few shitty iPhone pics:

So, yeah, Dana isn't quite ready yet, at least bottom to top. Powerhouse was dry for the first 1000 vertical feet.
Audibled to the obvious stuff on the Crest, which was surprisingly good. Boot deep wintery snow. It did get windy as all hell in the late afternoon though.

Inbounds was fun this weekend. Classic Mammoth windbuff. We skied mainly the skier's right of Climax, which was so good it was hard to go anywhere else. The coverage is awesome. The Noids are usually much bonier entrance wise this time of year. Hangers was not open, and I thought it would look better than it did, but almost everything else is a go.

So with no snow in the area for the past week Highanxiety and I thought it would be a good idea to skin the San Joaquin Ridge from Mammoth to June, and ski the Negatives as our prize. Here is a little taste of what happened, Highanxiety will be bringing the TR soon...
Go that way
A little pole whacking for good measure
Heady Topper for a night cap
Some 40mph wind to make our day just right
Some billy goatin
FINALLY, we made a turn!
Watch out!
Made it to June just in time for sunset and the next storm cycle. Great trip, can’t wait for the TR...

heheh!! nice powho. on saturday we skied the negatives from the june parking lot. wouldnt be surprised if our trax got blown out by the east wind the last couple days. mostly rain crust up to 9.5 k but the snow was quite good in the cirque down to the meadow. bit of a slog thru the meadow from the resort but skied out fast.
please report what y'all get outta this system. bout 4-10" here in the 'ho

DUDE, your skin track made our day! We didn’t get to Yost Meadow until 3:30 and we weren’t sure of the exact route back to the resort , so with the sun setting it was nice to see a skin track and know that if it got dark we could just follow your track out with our headlamps. I owe you a beer my friend...
And oh ya, solid work booting up that chute, looked to be teh gnar gnar"In a perfect world I'd have all 10 fingers on my left hand, so I could just use my right hand for punching."

Looking like a series of small storms for next several days. I will miss the goods today, but will hit town Saturday evening with LBski, so if anybody is around Sun, Mon, Tues give me a shout.
Will likely hit The Tap Saturday night for beers and pizza.

Never used this, although I do like the idea of being able to relax and not drive. I would consider doing this if going by myself, although the price seems a bit steep. It is a bit more than it would cost me in gas, although not driving would be worth that if the logistics could work out.
Let me know if you end up using it."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."
