Well, sad to say, but last day of the season for me
Made the 3 hour pilgramge from Squaw to Mammoth for some last turns of the season and it was great!
The lifts open from 7:30am!!! to 1pm......I would guess only Ice skaters(or the US ski Team, as they were there!) could enjoy being out there before 9am!
I shoded up at 9am and it was still icy firm in most places, but by 10am it was Awesome! ...and I was shot by noon.
NOBODY was there untill 11am.....

Conditions looked to be able to hold up for another week as they are open through Memorial Day.....
I guess Day 97 will have to do...until next season that is



!

C'mon Barry, 3 days at hood will get you that much coveted "100 day season"

Any way looks like lots'o fun in the californy sun

BarryJ, Looks like a nice way to end the season. Strong "days on snow count" for you. I was up at Mammoth a few weeks ago and hoped to get back but other responsibilities have prevented that. Coverage still looks OK. Was Stump Alley still open? Glad you had fun. Enjoy your summer! Tom

Bski - Mt. Hood is a 9 hour drive for me...I'll save my money (and back!) for SES 2013!

Tom - I spent twice as much time in the car driving than boarding and it was still an Inf...ingcredable day! Don't think Stump Alley was open.
