Hiking up @ Twin Lakes, Mammoth, CA, I met & chatted it up w/Steve for about 20 mins. Amazing, & then the subject switched to bears in Sweden! They love 'em in Sweden! Cool guy, knows his stuff, thx.
my father in law was Inyo county road boss back when Dave started mammoth ski--Mono county did not own a snow plow!! Dave asked John to plow the road now and then--John did one better and gave Dave the snow plow to do it himself--John K Smith became Inyo county Administrator for 33 years--he and Dave had a long friendship,about the same age,both passed about the same time-both men were cut from the same cloth,both very rare...
But honestly I don’t know if I’d ever pay to play at your resort 😂 I only paid 280$ for my season pass and I’m a BUM so I’ve skied 37ish days so far this season so I’m at 7.57$ per day and getting lower each day 😂
Oh wow..u deleted my comment about the greed of the mountain turning on the lifts and putting people on the hill before control work is done...just wow.
You should delete your own message as this is an idiotic comment! Mammoth Mountain has an upper and lower mountain and is VERY large. Skiers can very easily ski the lower mountain while Avalanche Mitigation work is happening. In addition, there are closures in place in various locations to keep skiers safe. There is no greed associated with opening the mountain safetly so riders can get after it and ski untouched powder. That is why they pay money to ride those lifts and access the goods. Maybe think twice about posting an ignorant comment about a topic you know NOTHING about!
@@angusmcdugal1 1. you are old why are you here 2. when they do that the lift lines are insane 3. he is also pointing out that they deleted his comment How about YOU think twice about posting a comment you know nothing about? You probably haven't skiied at mammoth!
Oh the joys of holiday weekends at the old ski resort. 3 hour lift lines. Rear entry boots. Starter Jackets. And lost flatlanders who followed tracks out of bounds.
Good on you Mammoth. Way too many entitled pricks on the mountain these days who don’t know fvckall about closures and why they’re there. Either that, or just let Darwin take the wheel….
I was able to see it and use it on Wednesday and Thursday of opening week after it opened on Saturday. Its beautiful, efficient, and fun to use. The offloading is super efficient and shielded from the wind. The loading area which historically has been a major bottle neck is now more fluid.
