    Why does that avatar bang on the cowbell? I cannot imagine what he is yelling...
  16. Congratulations to Coach Sean Cassidy (et al.) this weekend for TOP effort and execution of the snowperformance camp at Mammoth Mtn. this weekend. Also, a sincere 'thanks' to Donek and Bomberonline for donation of equipment available for camp participants' use. Apparently, the (Mammoth Mtn.) camp this year was considerably smaller than last year's, but I couldn't help notice each rider received constant, personalized coaching suitable to his or her specific level, and on a daily-basis. Specialized drills, daily film/stills-review, and gate-running were highlighted with the freeriding aspect unique to Mammoth Mtn. terrain; each itinerary contributed toward the improvement of all participants, regardless of experience or motivation. This year's camp had participants all across the spectrum of ability; first-timers, and seasoned competitors alike, seemed very receptive to each other's specific needs with regard to the camp effort. Of course, the snow in Mammoth was excellent this late in the year, and the conditions for this year's camp varied from spring to full-winter (with a fresh dump the last day of training!)... Coach Gavin Hunter and Coach Allison Mawditt were also invaluable with logistics, especially during Sunday's big snowfall. Despite their own charges, they were extremely helpful on the (timed) GS course, and provided their own unique input whenever possible. The snowperformance camp was a refreshing experience, and I encourage riders/racers at any ability-level to mark a future snowperformance camp on the calendar. Regardless of your specific ability level, you are sure to make the most of this rare opportunity for either the specialized Alpine-specific Coaching, or the beneficial camaraderie within this unique demographic. Again, it was a pleasure to watch each of you work at your sport! 110/220
  17. Y E S: Mammoth Mountain Ski Area/Mammoth Mountain IS a volcano! All tourists listen carefully: Mammoth Mountain IS a volcano. It really is...so watch out, the monies you invest in your trophy homes/sugarplum dreams of condos and real estate...
  18. Mammoth Mountain IS NOT a 'volcano...' if you look at a Topographic map of the area; you would need to zero-out enough to include the entire Sierra Crest/Long Valley Caldera rim. These ridge-formations are the outlying "mouth" surrounding the entire resurgent dome; hence, Mammoth Lakes is just a dot on the North-Eastern portion of the maw. The population here in the Eastern Sierra is well aware of our geographic location in relation to the Caldera, and we are all quite aware of the idiosyncrasies given the locale. We are also aware that we have earthquakes/volcanic activity each-day (much of which is not detectable and certainly not marketed to the general public Tourista) and we are all keenly aware of the history of the region. The Ski Area/Town Council either does not or will not divulge much of any tangible information to educate the general public/tourist mentality in this regard; much of this data is just not marketable to the spending masses...so when there is news of a fissure, please do not assume it is an isolated geographic anomaly specific to the Ski Area, as these occur in abundance throughout the Inyo/Mono Counties, and the outlying-areas surrounding the Ski Area, Town of Mammoth Lakes, the Hot Creek natural springs, Round Valley, Lee Vining and June Lake, to name only a few. We each accept some degree of responsibility for where we choose to live given our lifestyle...this is the same for all of you who choose to live in the larger metropolitan-areas. We have made our concessions, just as you have in order to get out of bed to face each coming day. There are obvious and very distinct trials we face (severe winters, bears, mountain lions, etc.), and on many different levels, as we each can imagine. Those of you who live in the larger cities on the other hand, have a higher violent crime-rate per capita, or more DUIs or seasonal flooding, or any number of other reasons by which many of us here in the Eastern Sierra have based our decision to relocate. Any of this isn’t entirely obvious 100-percent of the time, of course...nor is any of this particularly relevant except to make a comparison: but we all must take responsibility to educate ourselves before there is headlong/sensational reference made (especially in a region that is only marketed on the basis of Real Estate-speculations/Log Cabin Lifestyle-type magazines). This is the High Country, and you must expect a different type of reality we face throughout the year, in order to simply live here. That "they should have known better..." makes no sense when you consider the larger picture. Reference was made above regarding the identification of rock-material indigenous to the area as far as Nebraska...such a displacement would be quite difficult for a 'volcano' the size of 'Mammoth Mountain;' if there was any 'eruption' of the vein within the Caldera, the entire Town, Ski Area, and much of the outlying-area, would be essentially vaporized by the forces necessary to qualify as 'eruption.' The dome has been rising enough to bring Geographers world-wide to study/measure said dome each year for over five/six years. This is one of the most geographically active areas in the Nation, but fissures, hot springs and the like are just a reality of the ongoing geography. This particular fissure, had existed before the first rope-tow was installed. Many of you, who ski here each Spring, will certainly recall a particular sulfur-type smell especially near Mid-Station or on Chair 3, and usually this time of year. As long as I've lived here, I've noticed at least that much... This was indeed an unfortunate accident, but as outdoor/recreation enthusiasts, we must all endeavor to keep the pertinent facts of accidents of this type in proper perspective.
  19. I'll wait in line for these...or any other 30.5ish? Immediate PayPal preffered... 110/220
