my fist trip to mammoth this season came with my anticiaption. 15 feet of snow awaited travis and I. we left early sunday morning to try to make in town for 1st chair. we didnt make it, after a stop at hte casino, travix won $200 on 4 3's. nice the trip is almost paid for!! we rolling to mammoth lakes around 1030am, ready to go. we take a few runs, the soft snow was amazing!! we took 2 runs throught main park to check everything out. there were some hugh jumps, people were going off. run #3 through the park was disasterous. i hit thie hip with ok speed. popped off it nice. when i landed, i fell to my dis belief my boot was still strapped into my binding but the binding was no longer o nthje board. Yes i blew out the "freedom grove" on the capita BSOD 158. i guess the freedom grove wanted to be free of the binding. needless to say that ended my day!! the worst part is that i didnt bring hte back up board. what a 1st day at Mammoth.


the next morning we woke up to driving rain and wind that forced the lifts to not run all day. that was awful.
so we made the best of it. we went to bishop gave the indains there money back and went to convict lake. that was cool. it was fun to hang out and see stuff we drive past getting the mountain.
i also make the best of trying to get shot the Wooly.
tueday morning when left to go home it was nice and sunny out!! isnt it how it works on the days you have to go its nice out!! snickers was shooting a comercail with Kelly Clark and we could have beed extras but we had to head home .
the wall of show were hugh tallest i have ever since in may.
That sucks
If I had a dollar for every time I've been to Mammoth on a short trip and the weather didn't cooperate. At least you got to make a few runs, though. They have so much snow, you'll definitely be able to make it back up this season.
i'll be back
i will be back. . . mermorial day weekend is the annual trip. the weather should be better. i just have to dust off the Custom, it makes me sad to ride a burton again. this might be my last mammoth trip before the move to the great northwest. kind of bittersweet. it would be fun to ride in July up there but i will be in Greece. i dont think they have snow in greece during the summer. oh well. next time will be better.
snowboarding is FUN
One more trip
Hopefully you'll make back up there before it's gone and make up for it. Regardless, it sounds like you had fun. Just remember, bad times are usually followed by good times.
