Another one of the summer projects this year has been to do some earth works for the super pipe. Previously the pipe was built purely out of snow which took a huge amount of snow and groomer hours. Now with the shape made out of dirt it should take less resources and snow to get […]
After some unseasonably warm temperatures and lots of sun for October the temperature has dropped in the last few days allowing snow making to begin.

Since the snow we had in early October things have warmed up considerably in Mammoth. Most of the 2 feet of snow that fell has melted off.

Here are some pictures from about 10am this morning. Notice the gates being installed by the lifts – these are the new RFID gates. According to Mammoth Mountain, “This […]
This is two day’s worth. Oof-da.
