^^^^Yeah, but that is not accurate.

Its not like the typically Mammoth thread poster skis more often than posters in other regional threads.

Mammoth is not often seen a destination, so fewer...

^^^^ Cause, we are basically a bunch of old farts on this thread complaining about shit. Occasionally someone steps up and posts some stoke. I just downloaded Tapatalk and can post again. I...

Just found a new way to post pics and thought I'd share some pics from this winter.

Fun days in September at...

I buy off the outlet rack at RipCurl when I see LS in a model I like. They fit well. The F-Bomb has solid seams, But I'm getting a 4/3 for $150-170 out the door. So driven by price. I try to get...

The answer was "no". You can't even find a decent Fishball Noodle Soup in town, and weekend trips to Sumatra, Penang or Hoi An are out of the question.

I might have to agree with the kid. ...

Based only on driving between Gardnerville and Mammoth Lakes and back, on otherwise active weather days - when I did get any view of the mountains - they looked caked. I'm already organizing my May...

Just learned a new way to post pics that works for me. Woot.

Been a great season with the 12 year old. After taking last season off, they had no problem starting right off with thin cover off the...

Fuuuuuuuuck.

Had a good week out at Mammoth last week. We left contented.

Tuesday morning was reporting no new snow overnight, with a temperature of 17F at Eagle Base. By 8AM, we had about...

Tuesday started out cold, but was expected to warm up to 40F at McCoy. The NE winds from Monday, had picked up and...

For spring break this year, my kid and I drove from Santa Cruz, over and down to Mammoth to ski for five days. Our...

More importantly, how the hell does one post pictures these days?

When I click on the link to post, it now requires a URL. Can we no longer post to have TGR host the picture?

Its actually been quite good this year at KW, and despite the parking issues, I've never had an issue with parking.

On pow days, most of which are spent with my 12 year old, we are finding fresh...

Ok. I will agree reservations are not a terrible thing for everyone has been turned around. But creating a reservation system will not change how passes have become oversold and the local Vail...

Very fair. But to my point, I've yet to slide into another vehicle. And I still very much believe good piloting is 92% of the equation.

Well, what the hell is happening to this country? Don't we have rules any more?

Vail is fine elsewhere.

Or they could invest in some lifts. And repave KW Meadow Drive to include a shuttle/bus lane and spend just a little time developing a plan to mitigate the congestion...

Mammoth was posting 20" by Friday morning, but it was 8" by 10AM on Thursday. Skied amazing all day Thursday, even when almost every lif got shut down around 2:30. I saw someone get completely...

^^^ Kid is 12, so quite a big difference from 7. They might have hit it earlier, but we were in Singapore last season and prior to that, the run was pretty tight whenever we visited. It's pretty fat...

Don't forget to shot me a PM before renewing so you can help out the community here. If you are new, for sure send me a PM so you can help yourself.







After the 18th, the best prices...

Dusting on the deck. Decent snow falling down below Eagle. Gonna go for the late start this morning allow some of this snow to fill in. Watching those winds and wondering is June is the call for...

The Snowman is calling for up to 2' up top. That seems optimistic, but that would set up a pretty nice Friday.

^^^ Did you return to Chalet or connect to base of J1?



Been in Mammoth since Monday. Great skiing each day. Pretty much anywhere we went on Monday skied really well. For 0" reported...

I have a copy. Shocked anyone would pay the prices I just saw. Keeping mine, but now I have a retirement plan.

BTW, all you PT skiers, shot me a PM if you will. Your renewal can contribute to...

PMs all caught up.

Remember the kids prices go up about $50 mid April. And the rest adjust up come May.

KW continued to ski great this morning. No one around of course. Vista did not run, which there is no excuse for. Otherwise it was cool and sunny, Snow was in great shape everywhere, even in the...

We had 2-3" at the house in Kirkwood Meadows from 7:30PM Saturday till morning. KW reported 6" since Friday morning at 5AM. My kid needed a snorkel on a few turns on their first run. It skied...

^^^That's they way to do it. I'm missing today due to a birthday party this afternoon. Still excited for Sunday and Monday. Especially Monday. No crowds the day after a powder weekend are some of my...

All PMs responded to. BTW, the numbers for the full option were about a resort beer to high, so you will be pleasantly surprised (if you even notice) when you make your purchase.

Oh and the KW weekend report.

Saturday had bumper to bumper traffic coming in starting at 7:25 and it ended by 9:40. Drove across the valley and found prime spot in a "full lot." The mountain...

Wow. That looks like fun. My kid was just talking about the day we lapped Silverado two years ago. Mostly Land Bridge until things softened up a bit on the face. No lines that day and LB was soft...

PMs replied to. IF I missed you, please send again. I try to stay on top of this, but sometimes I miss a message.




Please send me a PM for deets. No public postings. Tho, within the cost...

Group Buy set up for 24/25. PM for details.

Maggots! It's that time of year to group together to help other maggots get out on that snow. And maybe save some money for yourself.

Pass Sales start this Thursday. Join with us before you...

I need to get back to SB someday. Been way too many years.

^^^I usually wait until late March before heading to PT on a weekend. I thought about it briefly for today, but the parking was sold out anyway.

I was going to post up and suggest the Sheeva. My wife loves her 9s, and is light enough, that they are all she wants except on the deepest days. The Sheeva is pretty versatile, especially if you...

Yes. Setting it up currently to be open with first day of sales. Please, go through the group buy for renewals and new purchase to help boost our ability to help other maggots. New sales cost about...

Day tripping with my kid. Tried to get parking at PT, but failed. So KW it is.

Yes, Thank You.



Sure. It depends on where you live and drive. I live in Santa Cruz. I ski about 30-50 days a winter, maybe broken into 20 trips. Most of those trips see dry roads 97%or more...

I've been on all seasons for over two decades. In 99.5% of Tahoe snow conditions, and all season, with decent driving technique is all you needs. Nerds.

Snow was fun at KW yesterday. Got up and...

Watch the forecast. 10 days from now looks like clear weather. But you never know. Snow gets packed down pretty quickly these days. And why not check out Kirkwood one day?

Just had an intense single strike of lightning and a thunder that could challenge any from Singapore. Damn. And about a cm of hail. The cell that just passed through was legit. Almost calm out...

No snow here either, but rain began in earnest about an hour ago... If the 2k forecast holds, there will be some capped local peaks.

^^^ Good sounds for something tomorrow.

Has this thread migrated to a discussion about public primary education? Kewl. There are a million things we could change, or consider, so we should be...

Glad to see you back in here Alex. Not to get into it too much, but the yurt guys should have cancelled the trip. If something happened to any of their guest during a storm cycle like this, they...

Only began to rain on the coast here around 4pm. Storm came in earnest a little bit after dark. Some periods of heavy rain and plenty of wind. Looks like KW is closed off for now. Sure glad we...

Yeah. Totally. Maybe. It depends... but better than trying Friday.

I mixed on this storm. I'm totally with the snow level (at KW) being near perfect for keeping lines interesting. It helps...

I was talking with a friend about this the other day. I was saying I thought this was so far a good winter. It was a slow start, but the snow has stayed fun for long periods after the storms. ...
