    Yosemite, CA Fire Fall 2/22/2021

    Great pictures, tseeb, and a great writeup. How many mpg do you typically get on a trip like that with your truck/camper setup?

    [/b] Yea, I'm a big believer in wearing a helmet (and I have been doing so for at least 15 years) but there is some statistical evidence that it may not really prevent serious head injuries among the skiing population: https://www.vpr.org/post/dartmouth-hitc ... s#stream/0...

    Tony, you continue to raise the bar in your trip reports. Thanks again for continuing to post your thorough recaps with lots of pictures. Re. Ski prep workouts, this one has helped me. Don't start too aggressively or you'll have trouble walking for a couple of days...

    As long as they stay out of the clubhouse. There were some serious Coronavirus outbreaks at ski areas just before the March shutdown. I think gondolas, trams, and bars were suspect.

    Seems even less likely that US citizens will be skiing in Canada next season.

    (Almost) 95 year old Heli-skier

    I wonder if that helmet has anything to do with his longevity as a skier? https://stories.cmhheli.com/heli-ski/cmh-guest-sets-guinness-world-record/

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    Several people say they have gotten emails from Ikon to this effect. Seems to be only for those who didn't use their pass at all. I read about Base Pass, didn't read far enough to see how higher level passes were handled. Here is a link to Mammoth Mountain Snowman search I did to find the...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I like the resorts on the Mountain Collective list for next season. However, I'm having trouble swallowing their paltry offer of about an 11% credit ($50) toward next season for those of us that didn't use our MC pass at all this season, especially when Ikon is offering 100% credit for those in...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I had the MC the past few years. I was going to use it in March this year, but Coronavirus shut the door. The only concession I saw MC make so far was a $50 discount for renewals. They had no provision for passholders that didn't further use it this season, nor any refund policy if next season...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    Ineffective, or just implemented too late?

    Not really. I just kept requesting and was eventually allowed access to the MMS Facebook page once again. I've kept my posts very minimal (generally nothing at all other than an occasional like of someone else's post) so as not to offend anyone's hypersensitivity. I agree re. Facebook. I'm in a...

    I second that. I appreciate the no-nonsense reports on this Forum, especially the detailed, balanced ones that Tony C. posts.

    A previous post was removed wherein I was asking if anyone knew of a similar FB group for Squaw Valley, then I was kicked out (summarily, with no communication before or after). I asked to rejoin and was granted that after a week or so. I then took a trip to Mammoth and posted a trip report...

    5/20/2019 still no response from MMS, and I've been kicked out of the group again. Does he have bots running MMS FB Group?

    I put a post on the Mammoth Mountain Snowman Facebook Page regarding my recent 2 day ski trip to Mammoth. I received a few comments and a bunch of likes. The MM Snowman even used one of my pictures on his seperate website. However, a day or two later I couldn't find my post. In it's place was a...

    Mammoth Mountain May 10, 11, 2019

    I finally made it up to Mammoth, driving up early Friday morning and returning Saturday evening. It was raining some on my drive up. Mammoth had got an inch or two of heavy snow; it served to cover the coral reef some. Friday was foggy/cloudy. Everything stayed firm, almost icy for most of the...
