heres a shot of Vinny checking new snow out this morning. He's the guy that lives at the top of the mountain at the upper Gondi station.
looks like 4-5' wind load.

that's like Barr Camp close to the summit of pikes peak. they have a year round caretaker that lives there. you get to make pancakes for the hikers that get stranded by weather.

man, until i started seeing your pics of mammoth, i always kinda assumed it was just a lame mtn close to L.A. total opposite: tons of snow and tons of variety

Safety third.....;)
Really good skiers that ski there daily.
I ducked a rope as a kid when I first started boarding after the guy in front of me lost a ski on the chair. It was a real steep section about 200 yards long maybe 35 yards wide. First turn after ducking the rope I learned how to float on top of a slide. Never found the ski but watched lots of other stuff tumble down the slide. One of my less than stellar decisions I have made while boarding.
