The best powder day of the Iron Blosam week in several years, and it's clearly because I couldn't make it this year. *ahem* You're Welcome!

Because of a series of late meetings last Friday evening, I didn't even leave San Diego for LA until after 6pm. I got some sleep and awoke at 3am Saturday morning to meet a couple friends for a ride up to Mammoth. The early effort was rewarded, as the day dawned bluebird. My friends were slow...

*cough* viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9475 *cough* Mammoth sucks, stay away.

I drove up Thursday night in anticipation of epic days starting Friday, and the effort was handsomely rewarded. By Friday morning Mammoth had ~2 feet of fresh with ZERO wind overnight and all day. The storm was also fairly cold, so as you can see below conditions were deep. The sky was clear...

Sweet editing, but feel free to identify your local mountain as Mountain High; there's no reason to obscure the location. The skier at 0:30 was probably the best imo.

I don't know where you're trying to get to on Hillside, but this is the route I've taken to get from the skiback trail to Hillside. I believe this is the furthest down the street you can easily ski to from the trail, as after this point the trail is below the street the rest of the way down to...

Yeah, I've been called out occasionally in the mornings if we walk between houses to get to the trail and ski down, although I've yet to have issue on the way back from the hill in the afternoons. I was told it wasn't a trespassing issue at all; they claimed it was a concern for...

I'm pretty sure I've had a dish like that at a Japaneese restaurant in San Diego. It was in an area of specialty Asian restaurants and I've never seen it elsewhere.

Here's some video from the 3rd, when the top opened after the storm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHVm8LoJ7ag

This is a bit late, but I finally got around to editing the video tonight so I figured it was worth sharing. The 29th was the main day of the previous significant storm here in Mammoth. Mammoth patrol reported 29.5 inches overnight and the forecast called for heavy snow and winds all day...

you already made your own thread for this video, no need to spam it in every mammoth-related thread that pops up on the forum.

First attempt at a GoPro edit, most of this is from the 23rd, but the overcast on chair 12 is from the 22nd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM3Au9d8G-w

Here's the current 5-day QPF: :shock:

How did he even acquire the land with no pre-conditions in the first place? If it was public land to begin with, shouldn't he have to allow pass-through at least to the public?

I have a few pictures from my phone that I took on Sunday (11/28) of the top so I might as well add those to this thread. Looking up at Paranoid from the apron, there is a crown along the top of much of this but it's difficult to see from this perspective: Dropout/Wipeout from Chair 23, you...

Remember that 9,000ft is the elevation at main lodge, and the top is 2k above that. Nearly everything pictured in the OP is near or above 10k. The main feature that lacks base at that elevation (of what's pictured) is Climax, and that's because most of it slide after the big storm before...

http://mammothweather.com/ says starting Friday, with the main hit getting going Sunday night into Monday.

It's an app called Hipstamatic. And if you want height <short joke>, there's plenty of ways to get that without committing to an AT binding. But I agree with the sentiment that stack height isn't as important for that kind of ski and the conditions it will see most often.

approve!

Bumping this thread with an interesting news update. After two inqury's, the group has apparently been exonerated. Press release of the inquiry: You can read the full inquiry here They have criticisms of the statistical methods used, but are saying that the underlying research and results...
