2014 Mammoth Mini

**TWINS** · 03-27-2014, 08:53 AM

Race camps are scheduled for the end of May so all is well .Rusty has the "Skiable Broadway Rule" but I think he could push a little snow around to get us through Mid May

Excited about having a warm Mini for a change.The last 3 have been freezing

What makes you think this one will be warm? Do you have a crystal ball?

**yogachik** · 03-27-2014, 09:29 AM

60 to 70 inches of snow predicted between now and May 10. Seriously.

AntiJinx^^^^

Gonna go wash the truck before I drive up and leave my chains in the garage too.

**yogachik** · 03-28-2014, 05:19 PM

I may figure out a way to do both the mini and the event at Greystone.

Just completed a Thurs-Sun trip, with pow days on Thursday and Sunday. Sunday was pretty awesome, I kept lapping the noids, and it kept delivering. Though things go tracked pretty fast, the snow was relatively light making the cut up stuff fun. Wish I could have stayed until today, as it dumped again. They are supposed to get more snow this week.

Three weeks away bump for the spring snow skiing, sombrero wearing, margarita drinking, meat grilling, hot tub poaching meeting of the partially inebriated maggot minds.

**TWINS** · 04-11-2014, 04:19 PM

YES^^^^

**hkyfsh** · 04-11-2014, 04:41 PM

I may have access to one of those for parking lot shots^

**El Chupacabra** · 04-11-2014, 11:17 PM

I have a shot ski I can bring.

Who's camping at Ft. FKNA , wherever it's going to be?

**yogachik** · 04-14-2014, 09:18 AM

Just returned from there - update: snow is incredibly thin, only 40" base in most areas. They'll have to start farming to keep it on Broadway and also bottom of Stump. It was super fun this weekend, snow held up most of the day (Saturday it rained for a bit), very soupy by about 2.

Holy shit. Didn't realize there would be so many Mammoth Mini threads on an open ended search.

Will the Mill and 2 still be open in two weeks, yoga?

**TurxSki** · 04-17-2014, 06:34 PM

...Cinders & me are looking for a ride down from Oakland for the Mini Weekend.
We will buy gas, and ensure a good time...(unlikeley, but might have accomodation too!)

Highly unlikely, Splat. Already it's all dirt.

I skied around 1, 2 and 3 this morning and the snow was in great spring shape. Very soft and carvable. The race courses looked good so I headed over there.

A sight I never, ever grow tired of. Hardly anyone on Chair 23 this a.m.

Andy's Double Gold still had some cord on the sides!

Saddle Bowl, to World Cup to Fascination was super fun! Still cord along the sides on World Cup, too.

Saw lots of locals out this morning and everyone had big smiles on their faces! ^_^ 8-)

2 weeks to go

I was there the other day, the Mill is surrounded by dirt. The snow was fun, total slush by about 1 - and very very thin. But maybe I'm wrong about early May.

Well I heard this rumor that it is going to get......................

**45hill** · 04-19-2014, 10:12 PM

There will be more snow then then there is now. The mountain is really fun corn snow these days. You have to hit it right, 9am to 12:30 is prime time. Love this time of year.
