Mammoth could definitely use a new coat of fresh. That forecast looks like just whats needed too, sounds like it'll be heavier snow.

Everything is pretty packed down, but the warmer temps lately have created some slushy snow spots in the sunny areas. Top of Lincoln is starting to look pretty sad and brown, but all in all much better than last season still. I was surprised they were grooming riccochet (top to bottom), dragon's alley, and scottys. Made for some fun fast steep groomer bombing in the first hour.

I'll try to get some more pics put up later today.

Please do! and scottys is usually groomed. Except when covered in avy debris

I am headed up Sunday night. Riding Monday and Tuesday. Gotta work wednesday


Here's hoping that everything opens by noon on monday for a lovely bluebird powder day!And that Tuesday is still good too.
Please?

I kinda want to go up sunday morning and ride a bit during the storm. I love me some good storm riding. Free refills and no crowds but...such is life...

dude we need some more details!!! Took me a second to figure out where that pic was from. I so rarely ever ride out of canyon. Stump or Eagle as I like to park at stump and I can take a shuttle to eagle from my condo.


I am headed up Sunday night and will be riding Mon and Tue.

Anyone else up there? lets meet up for some laps!

umm.... that is stump. chair 2 right there.

i thought they left scottys ungroomed like dave's. although i don't ride over that side very often, i hate having to be around main unless i have to. i was really surprised they groomed chair 9, never have seen that

let it dump!!!

Wangta

Hah, sorry. About 6-8 inches on the ground this morning.

The Good: Barely anyone on the mountain. Tons of fresh tracks. I spent most of my time on 5 and 3 - both were great.

The bad: Snow is really really wet and heavy. Snowing on the mountain and raining in town. Temps are right around 32 so it's relatively warm. Given the temps, it's really wet out there - jacket and gloves were soaked. Visability was ok in the morning but got pretty bad by noon - snowy and foggy mid-mountain (3, 5, etc). Visability at the base is fine. Top did not open as of noon, and neither was 23.

I got some nice fresh tracks in the morning and turned in by noon.
