The reported 2" of snow really made a difference. It was great today, the best in the last month.

And the fatties come out, absurd !

 

[Tricia]

Seeing skiers on their fatties today reminded me of Paul Simon.

You guys are done at Mammoth as of today?
We just got home from bringing the new(to us) SS SkiTalk home.

Glad we got to see you, if only for short ski days and foodie visits.

@David Chaus how long are you going to be here?

 

[David Chaus]

Maybe Sat maybe we can do several runs. skiing a bit today.
They have done a superb job widening the WROD’s to the mIn lodge & stump alley wider than 2 weeks ago - probably for the holiday . Ski’s can stay on! Should have no problem making May 31

 

[David Chaus]

Great, just arrived in Mammoth Lakes and checked in condo, got on wifi and, of course, checked my SkiTalk alerts.

 

[Paul Lutes]

Sigh .....
I 'm beginning to think I should just commit to spending all my time at the Queen of the Sierra starting May 1st until they close.

 

[skibum4ever]

Our Memorial weekend renters just cancelled. Last Sunday was our final ski day but .. maybe not...

Paging @David Chaus for tomorrow's condition report.

[David Chaus]

Here’s what today looked like.

@John Webb, we skied together most of the day.

I arrived at 7:30, it was firm and fast for about an hour or two, then spring slush as things warmed up, finally “who’s hitting my brakes?” sticky by 2pm.

Not too many people, but then it’s Thursday.

Ministry of Good Ideas:
Taking a leisurely drive along the Mammoth Scenic drive after skiing.

Potentially from the Ministry of Bad Ideas:
Seeing a sign for Inyo Craters, deciding to drive a mile or so on a gravel and dirt road, and then hiking to see the Craters. But it all worked out and the hike wasn’t too bad.


I love the bark on these pines.

Crater 1

Crater 2

A strangely and wonderfully twisted pine

Very much Ministry of Good Ideas:
Continuing with my original plan to go to the Wild Willie’s hot springs, which is 10 miles out of town, with the last 1 1/2 miles along a gravel road. The thought that this was a Ministry of Bad Ideas idea was dispelled when I walked along the path to the hot springs, which costs nothing to visit, and spent a good time relaxing, pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. Very peaceful (except for the French dudes who took a couple of humorous videos to send to friends).


Not a bad way to follow up a day of skiing.

 

[David Chaus]

Oh, yeah, met @Mothertucker at the bottom of Stumptown, chilling with friends. He mentioned a tailgate BBQ tomorrow, in case people want to meet up.

Edit: @MountainMonster is who I meant, I apologize for mixing people up.

 

[David Chaus]

I forgot to add this one of Crater 2 (I don’t know that they’re actually called that), you can see Mammoth in the background.

I think you have me confused with my friend the @MountainMonster.

 

[David Chaus]

My mistake. Or rather autocorrect, yeah I’ll blame it on autocorrect.

That said, your avatars are really similar.

 

[John Webb]

Yes to it being @MountainMonster. It was nice to ski with @David Chaus today. Lower Stump Alley is about half the width as just posted but good snow not even as sticky as
other areas at 2 pm. They pack and salt it. Cornice is in excellent shape, Climax is ok but large moguls. Daves should reopen tomorrow. Can't exit chair 23 to right but can take roadrunner around back to get to that side of ridge.
