Thanks for the shots as always ESS!
We will be skiing Baldy the next two weekends, then a four day trip. We should also have a five day trip in late March, and a 7-8 day trip in late April. We'll squeeze another weekend or two in, then clear things our in late May.
We haven't been going up as much this year. Part of that is the fact that it has not been great until recently, part of it is the desire to limit the number of people in the ski lease. We have all been doing fewer, but occasionally longer, trips. The good thing is that Baldy has really turned on in the last month. We have gotten lots of Baldy days, and I don't mind skiing it while it's still good, then getting some longer Mammoth trips in lat March and April. If there is a late season surge it could really work out well. But I have to feel lucky when I can get two days a week of quality skiing on the weekends I don't go to Mammoth. It has done a number on my Baldy skis though, after last weekend I had some pretty solid core shots.
It really is great to see Mammoth look like the mountain we all love again. This season reminds me somewhat of 11/12, where things started slowly, then lined up in January, then were really good in March/April. That year Mammoth got 120 inches in March and April, which is nice, although certainly not anomalous. If that happens again this year we would end up with 300-310 inches for the season, which is below average, but okay.
