Skied Mammoth in mid-July that year for my first post-retirement Spring Pilgrimage - I should have started 30 years earlier!
There were quite a few of us there that day in 2019.
and I took this photo in July 2017:
Fingers crossed for next year!

We told everyone that we didn’t know you! You were just some random chick who jumped in the photo!
she that remains nameless, lol
I agree..had a great weekend just a few weeks ago and some really good runs. Its sooo hard to let skiing go and have to think about it all summer...but sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. When am I gonna start doing to South America in the summer????
And btw..how great is it to have mountains like the Sierra's where you can ski damn near until 4th of July!?!?!? As a kid who grew up skiing in New England..this still blows my mind and I freaking love it!!!!!!! 
The offseason goes a lot faster when it doesn't start until June/July..

Indeed. 2017 was the year that I broke my leg the first week of March and was back skiing in….July (not entirely what the doctor ordered, but I seem to be okay 5 years later…)And btw..how great is it to have mountains like the Sierra's where you can ski damn near until 4th of July!?!?!?

Ouch,
Mine was Jan 15 years ago. I was good and no skiing rest of year.
This year After pulled hamstring in March PT lady said no skiing.
But doctor was fine with skiing. (he was a staff doctor at Sugar Bowl aid room! )
Restarted carefully mid April. Now fully back to normal.
This is why we seek multiple opinions. Then we can pick the one we like best ... the grown-up version of Ask Mom, then Ask Dad.

May I please play that game?
First surgeon - ski next season
Second surgeon - never ski again

I got a new doctor a few months ago… he recommended a plant based diet. I told him outright that I eat it all - pork, lamb, beef, fish, and fowl. In fact I had never met flesh I didn’t enjoy the taste of. He was fine with me switching doctors. I meet my new doctor in June. I can’t wait to see her reaction. I can only imagine what he wrote in my file!
I vote for surgeon number 1!

PSA: more detailed report later but if you are thinking of skiing tomorrow do it. I’ve had later closing days at mammoth, I’ve had closing days with more coverage, but the clouds and breeze are keeping the snow this year the nicest I recall.
still great skiing off 23, the chutes are nicely covered with hero snow.
