California/Nevada 2021-2022 Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort/Conditions/Meetups

[Pat AKA mustski]

My rule of thumb is face of 3 … if it is softening, so is Cornice. That occurs much earlier than the bumps in either location.

Spring is back in full force today. Sticky snow here and there. Most places skied fine. Looks like the same program for next week.

Ran into @MountainMonster in the parking lot at the end of day after Mamie's SkiTalk CB photo shoot.

Heading up tonight and will be staying at the main lodge. I guess I can sleep in a little. Good info on cornice, will likely hit Cornice and maybe scottys first thing in the morning

Just to clarify - cornice definitely is melt-freezing tonight, so even if it’s warm enough early to soften up cornice …. It won’t be dry and loose.

 

[MountainMonster]

Cornice & Scotty’s were both softer than the lower mountain yesterday morning first thing.
Gonna get better by the day.
Sweet corn by Monday I’m betting.

Started at 830 and had a blast. Sadly however, my wife caught an edge/got yanked in sticky snow going down saddle and wrenched her knee badly. Ski patrol took her down (awesome folks) and now waiting at the hospital hoping for not so bad news!

Edit: grade 2/3 mcl tear and ankle sprain

Sorry to hear. I'm glad, though, that the ACL and achilles wasn't yoinked!

 

[KingGrump]

Corn crop just about ready for harvest. Most sections are skiing well. Snow is getting faster with the exception of the flatter areas under #23 & G2.

Next week is gonna be good.

Oh poop. Really sorry to hear that. Bad as it is now, it'll get way better (after some medical intervention) and you two will be skiing together again in 2022-2023.

2:00 closing starting tomorrow for all you afternoon crew

How Is Your Corn?

It's been pretty cold at night with some warm days here in Tahoe, which is promising some nice corn. How is your corn harvest?

Best day ever…..

As @MountainMonster said, best day ever.
Snow was good.

Interesting day. Skied with several friends of friends. Also a very disturbing encounter with a ski instructor.

We have worked out the incident with the ski school to our satisfaction by the end of the ski day. Rather not talk about it in open forum.

Tease.

 

[KingGrump]

Tease.

C'mon down for few runs and we can laugh about it on the chair.

Snow must be holding up fairly well. Just saw this on Facebook. So I checked the website and apparently it's true.
