It is permanently closed. You have to traverse in over a huge cliff band, and they don't want people getting lost and cliffed out. I actually saw patrol rappel down to get some idiot who had ignored the signs and gotten stuck above the cliff. Sage has hucked that cliff in a ski movie. He got busted, in the footage you can see him skiing away and getting caught by patrol. Originally Posted by Hott Butt Mud

I wish I could go up this weekend. I've been up quite a bit recently and I need (read, my wife) needs a break. I guess I could use a break from the drive too. You guys who are going up have fun.

I'm not around until Sunday, but I'd be happy to show you around then if you haven't figured out the mountain. It is a very easy mountain to figure out since you can see pretty much everything from just a few vantage points. There are a few hidden stashes here and there, but not all that many considering the size. Originally Posted by therudeness

Rent some fatties. Ski out of Canyon on a storm day. Chair 8 or 16 to 22 (or 25). Rinse, wash, wind buff, repeat. Damn I miss that place. Originally Posted by therudeness

Laps off 22 or 25 were the call for me skiing mellow tree lines. The one time I was out in the open on 5, I got vertigo from the whiteout conditions and fell over when I stopped. Kind of embarrassing. Originally Posted by Idyllwild

Sounds like I will have a shit ton of snow to clear off the driveway. That's a good thing, right?

Absolute blower today, I think my first 15 runs all had over the head faceshots. Plus, there was nobody on the mountain on the Main Lodge side this morning. Still snowing and winds picked up in the afternoon, so tracks should be filled in by tomorrow morning.

For anyone wondering if the marketing numbers are accurate (not really) here's a link to the snow study site at 9,000.
(Of course it snows more at higher elevations [up to a point], but wind deposition is not the same as snow fall.)

Was thinking about a one-day strike on Sunday to frolic in the trees but the updated forecasts have me worried that 395 will be closed...
Just ring the fucking bell, you pansy.

395 rarely closes below the turn off to Mammoth, but if you ate coming from the north I bet it will be closed for some of the time Saturday night if the forecast is accurate. They usually get it open during the day, but I have seen it closed well into the day on rare occasions. Makes for great storm skiing if you happen to be in June Lake Originally Posted by stylee
