Today I finally got around to going snowboarding again after ten years. It was a lot of fun and I managed to get down a blue run without breaking a wrist, so I was happy. I’ll have to get some photos next time I go out as proof! Snow conditions are still perfect and there […]
After a busy Thanksgiving I got the chance to have bit of a freeski today. Conditions are excellent with pristine groomers, chopped powder off piste and no one here! This is the main run coming into Canyon at 9am this morning: And check out the lift line at Chair 16: We received between 4-6 feet […]
After the big storm last weekend we have had a couple of great bluebird days to enjoy. I’ve been busy teaching which has been fun and can’t wait to check out the snow around the mountain on my next day off. Here’s a shot from Stump Alley today, looking good! This is one of the […]
Just a quick update about the season opening at Mammoth. It has been pretty much snowing since late friday night with about 3 feet outside my house with up to 8 feet on the hill. The only bad news it that it has been windy too so the coverage is not even over the whole […]
In this post I’m going to look at where you should take your kids skiing based on my experience as a ski instructor. In my job I often have the pleasure of teaching skiing to children. Safety, fun and learning are the three main principles of my lessons and are directly impacted by the terrain […]
Mammoth Mountain has been open for 6 days now and the snow is holding up pretty well. It’s been too warm the last couple of nights to make snow and I’d have to say conditions are rather spring-like with beautifully warm temps during the day. I took some photos today of different parts of the […]
Woolly made it out in his finest for Rusty’s Opening Day speech and the champagne toast.
Bluebird skies, cars parked past Chair 2, hot cocoa, Woolly, music… and amazing snow! Epic opening day! More photos to come, and if you happen to be up, champagne toast on the Tusk’s sundeck at 11am! That’s me, geared up and ready to go!
Tomorrow this time the mountain will be open! After a bit more snow fell last night, plus the storm Sunday and almost non-stop snowmaking, the coverage is incredible. Chairs 1, 3, 6, 11 and lower and upper Gondi will be running. Dust off your skis and boards, it’s going to be a great day!
Here’s some updated pictures as promised of the snow at Mammoth. It looks really good especially when compared with last week. As I drove up the hill they were packing the snow down at Stump Alley (Chair 2) with groomers so that may open for the weekend. They were also bombing cornice bowl so I’ll […]
