That was the most fun weekend of skiing and shenanigans I've had with my clothes on. Was it as good for you as it was for me?

....and I'm out





I got lost looking for the Hot Springs, and instead ended up in some underground grotto beneath Holmby Hills, which is fucking awesome for Butt Snorkeling

S.P.,
TGR needs to add a "Like" button or in the case of your post a "FKNA Loved It!" button.
Great skiing with you.

[splat]

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed tormenting you every time you were hauling ass way out in front of the pack and I'd sneak up from behind and grab your pole to freak you out, Punani. BWAAAAHAAAA!

[Viva]

I'd sneak up from behind and grab your pole...

Sneak up from behind and grab his pole, eh?

[splat]

You're just butthurt you didn't get the reach around.
Or go skiing. WTF happened to you, biatch?

[mtbcat]

Had a blast skiing with everyone including my new ski buddy SUP.
Got back to work today after skiing Solstice and Shoot out off the pass Wednesday
SPLAT thanks for getting the BBQ Going over the weekend and cheers to all VETS DOKIE

[Big Tim]

Well played sirs............

[dookeyXXX]

Feel I should note that Vets n' me cut out a bit early on Sunday so's as we could do some recon for summer patch skiing shenanigans up near Lundy Lake and Virginia Lakes.

We promptly got my truck high centered in a snow bank and had to leave it overnight until we could come back Monday evening and dig it out.

Gotta love this lingering 15/16 winter, yo!

That said, it was a successful psuedo mini, despite the fact that Splat didn't break or tweak or sever any legs/knees, nobody lit a sleeping bag on fire, Cheney was nowhere to be seen in jeans, and nobody schussed the Lone Bear Chute...

18 and snowing at peak this morning
Mini part deux???

Mini part deux???

I'm down for June 11-12! Still have some vouchers to burn.

[Barnballs]

Just confirmed 6/10 - 6/12 is a go with my handler.
Adding Calloway's to the quiver if anyone's up for an overpriced round at Sierra Star.

[hutash]

Mammoth Mini 2.0 July 4th?

[otto parts]

Tora and I up again this Sat through Tuesday if anyone else going
might have couch space as well

[otto parts]

Mammoth Mini 2.0 July 4th?

Damn, just announced.
This is making it too easy for Vets

[skibuff]

I'm down for June 11-12! Still have some vouchers to burn.

I will be down for my 23rd wedding anniversary from the 10th thru 12th.

What a guy drags his non skiing wife to Mammoth for their anniversary so he can ski.

I'm also planning on the 24th thru the 26th.

Much easier this year to get those consecutive Vets

Is the 'other area passholder' ticket price my best option for 2-3 days? Trying for next weekend.

[Ottime]

^^^what is the 'other area pass holder' ticket price at this point?

[powdrhound]

Old data... It was $69?
Currently $79/1, $158/2, $210/3, $280/4

Please don't pick me for a jury on Thursday.....!

Are the camp spots on Loop Rd open and clear?

[Ottime]

Isn't BAF cheaper than that?

$80 might keep me away. I was hoping for something more like $50. Oh, well.

[powdrhound]

The $69 'other area pass' price was accurate today.

[Superstar Punani]

Due to unforeskinned circumcisions, I had to pull the plug for this weekend in the interests of matrimonial bliss.

I still have a Mammoth voucher good thru end of season. Selling it for what I paid for on eBay, $50, plus free overnight fedex shipping.
Can do Paypal or venmo

Lemme know.

(Edit: For reference: window ticket ass-rape price is $79, Other-passholders are $69, Bring a Friend is $50)

[Ottime]

$69 is also the Internet price. FWIW
