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

I hope they stay open a tad longer... I really want to come ski in summer again!!!!

In prior years, this extension would mean that I could ski on my birthday (June 4). Except of course I can't. Breaks my heart.

Unfortunately, my season is done but I'm already thinking of next year. I live in So Cal in Riverside. I ski BBMR about 10 times a year and I want to plan 2-3 Mammoth trips. I usually ski 2-3 days at a time. With the price of gas probably not going down much in the coming years or ever, I'd like to plan a trip with somebody on here if they're interested in the same type of trip as me.
CarPool and split cost of gas and hotel?

Two weeks into June…..

I'll shall be loosed on the slopes of Mammoth for the next few days. Watchout!

Gonna get better by the day.
Sweet corn by Monday I’m betting.

Good prediction MM. Monday came with a lot of corn snow. turning to some slush by 1pm to 2pm. Best to get out early. Ski hours are 7:30 to 2. Cornice, Daves, Climax, Scotties skied well. Didn't get to Wipeout or Dropout chutes but they had good cover. Maybe Wednesday. Road Runner was closed but not needed as ridge is holding good snow down to Scotties.

Yes, Road Runner was very thin when we took a run about 10 days ago. No surprise that it would be closed now.

Bring on the John Deere harvester. The corn crop is ready.



The Swix HF10BW is gold.

They usually farm a narrow ribbon of snow on Road Runner (from somewhere far away !) to keep road runner open after snow on right exit fom chair 23 melts out.

I regret not checking if Road runner was open last may. Ended up skiing down what had to be the rockiest experience I have ever had. Ended up with 3 core shots on one ski....but boy the snow on Scottys was perfect.

Got fresh meat for the open buckle ski society.

Road runner was definitely open last May - I did exactly the same thing you did, even removed skis and tried walking down - very scary, then discovered RR and all was right in the universe. Interesting that the ridge line is holding up so much better this year than last.

Road Runner week before last was the only place on the mountain where I scraped the bottoms of my skis.

 

[John Webb]

Looks like Road Runner is staying closed
Heading to Scotties. Ridge to there is holding good snow cover

No body goes there anymore - it's too crowded.

 

[Rainbow Jenny]

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

I heard a version of the story but not from the Grumps.
