I could also vouch for David Hawtry. Super experienced professional! If not him I am sure he could make recommendations that would meet you needs.

He is on Facebook, you could probably message him there.Thanks for the suggestion folks! Other than through MMSA, is there a way to reach out to David Hawtry to discuss recommendations? If so, please feel free to PM me his contact info. Thanks!
Thanks for the mention Trisha! I specialize in teaching maximum-size group lessons for children during the busiest holiday ski days. And have a lot of fun doing it. It sounds like @SpeedyKevin is looking for a private lesson. That's better suited for a full-time instructor.I wish we had it in us to do it.
This spring has been crazy and we're barely able to keep up with things here, let alone heading to Mammoth for the day. Enjoy!
Love this! Can you make a couple of bigger close ups of it! I'm very curious how Mammoth has evolved since 1980. I see some different trail names but I can't make it all out from this picture.
Thank you! So what were the last few lifts to be added? It looks like Chair 9 (Cloud 9) was already in as far as I can tell....
My first year was about 82. I remember going up to mid area via that double T-Bar
Chair 9 was in, but was long and slow until it was made high-speed.Thank you! So what were the last few lifts to be added? It looks like Chair 9 (Cloud 9) was already in as far as I can tell....
Good stuff!Chair 9 was in, but was long and slow until it was made high-speed.
A lot of history at http://www.skilifts.org/old/ca-mammoth.htm
Chair 20 https://jollyturns.com/resort/united-states-of-america/mammoth/lift/chair-20
Chair 21 https://jollyturns.com/resort/united-states-of-america/mammoth/lift/chair-21
The next two built in 1982 were the big ones, providing (much easier) access to expert terrain.

Chair 23 https://jollyturns.com/resort/united-states-of-america/mammoth/lift/chair-23
jollyturns says no chair 24 (removed in 2000). Chair 25 is often the first to soften and turn to corn during Spring conditions.
this is very cool!!!!In case some of you are not familiar, SkiMaps is an excellent repository of all things, ski maps the world over... ;-) They have them for Mammoth going back to 1965.
The 2 other sites for ski lifts are excellent and was not aware.
I turned 60 in January, I remember the 60s and 70s as well as the 80s, its the child-filled years of the naughts that I am having trouble with... lolIt’s pretty sad that I was a dishwasher at main lodge 82/83 ( El Niño ) and don’t remember chair 23 , gondola yes.
Whats that about the 60’s and remembering ?????
I turn 60 in two weeks, god I hope I’m not the only one.
