    Why does no one fly to Reno? It makes things ~2.5 to 3 hrs to Mammy and a gorgeous drive at that...

    I'm flying into Reno, FWIW...

    I'll definitely be hitting you up to run some laps on the demos. Need to get a feel before placing my order.

    Mass Liberal, did you get a ride yet? I can't pick you up, but if you can somehow make iit from Long Beach to Riverside (approx. 60-70 miles) or 1.5 hours, then you can ride with me and Corey.

    Will I get killed in long beach if I hitch hike with skis??

    All I know about California, and LA, I learned from Snoop Dog videos during my middle school "gangsta rap is cool" days. and they said Long Beach was bad news.

    Yes, people like me need 179 softs to ski.
    If you open a second beer and don't miss a beat between sips, is that two beers or just one 24 ouncer? -Tye 1on

    dude, see if you can get a flight to somerwhere else. Long Beach is not exactly what I'd call a primo destination as far as MM logistics are concerned.

    Actually, you're wrong. It's easy for someone coming from Newport Beach, say, to pick up someone at Long Beach airport (hint, hint GoneHuckin).

    I think a few of you should bring your bikes and we need to organize an afternoon down at rock creek. Its sooooo good right now. Ski the morn, bike the afternoon, beers at night. This does require a few cars to drive to and to shuttle. Anyone interested in this shoot me a pm.

    well, it is rather conveniently close to Ontario Intl. airport. (about 20 minutes)

    but besides that? not much.

    it is a wee bit closer to mammoth, but we all end up fighting the same wretched traffic up the Cajon Pass (unless you take the other way around through Lancaster)

    I've never had problems in the mamoth lots - easy for the late night arrival; there's also free camping down in the flatlands close to springs.

    You could also catch the rest stop past June Mountain turnoff on the 395 going towards Mammy.Its a good place to wash up at in the morning and fairly safe/lighted.
