Loc Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Ok so we're not sure when that'll be...but is anyone going up for opening?? I'm getting antsy haha Quote
nekdut Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, but we still have FIFTY days to go, unless they open early. :) Quote
AaronG Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Yes, but we still have FIFTY days to go, unless they open early. :) Wishful thinking Neil! You live in California, Southern Calif to be exact the snow will come later than sooner!! Have you two done the carpet carving thing also?:):) Quote
nekdut Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Hey didn't you just post that certain southern California resort near you had snow and was the first to "open" for the season? ;) Lets hope for Halloween carving! Quote
AaronG Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 That wasn't quite snow buddy, I was only screwing with the fellow BOLers. I just want some cooler temps to tell myself that winter is indeed on its way. Quote
nekdut Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I concur. Today was way way way too hot. Quote
Arclite Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 After marching in the hot sun while carrying 50 pound drums and playing at the same time for 3 hours and getting yelled at by a balding fat man, I longboarded home, and melted on my couch. California has some serious heat issues going on. It's supposed to be fall right now, but someone decided to extend summer and make this week the worst of them all apparently. Loc, I'm totally up for going opening week end, that is if my padre is too. Neil, wishful thinking. We all hope you're correct on your countdown to falling white particles. Quote
GeorgeS Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 I'm hoping for a late October opening also. I've been there early the past few years before thanksgiving and I don't think I will go again if only Broadway is open. But then again I may NEED to go. I agree about the heat. It's hard to imagine Loveland making snow while I'm burning up at work. Quote
Bullwings Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 So far this off season has been good to me. I've haven't been Jonesing much yet. I guess I've been too busy taking care of all sorts of stuff. In fact, I have no interest to go anywhere for opening week or opening weeks... If there's only going to be one run open, I think I can wait. But, we'll see, it's still pretty early in the season (as in the non-existant part). I've plenty of things to take care of and keep me busy through October at the very least. I don't anticipate much Jonesin' until around late November. Quote
Arclite Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 Mammoth opening day - Thursday, November 12th a.k.a. - MY BIRTHDAY Quote
Loc Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Posted October 4, 2009 It's here! I woke up to a wonder Twitter update from Mammoth: http://twitter.com/MammothMountain/status/4603065195 Then I checked the web cams: http://www.mammothmountain.com/WebCams/ Quote

Loc Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Posted October 6, 2009 I Just Brought My First Alpine Board And Binding, But No Boot Yet Anyone Have A Use One For Sale 9.5-10.5Mac Hey Mac, I don't have any boots for sale but just wanted to say congrats on the board. What did you get? I live in Santa Ana, we should get a carpool going up to Mammoth ;) Quote
Arclite Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 That reminds me.... I should really try on my boots and make sure they still fit Quote
Loc Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 http://twitter.com/MammothMountain/status/4866688054 Anyone going up? My cohorts and I are still deciding whether we want to ride on slush. Quote
nekdut Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I haven't even scraped the summer wax off yet! I gotta get moving on that. :lol: This weekend is questionable for me, but the next is quite likely. Quote
nekdut Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I'm glad I was wrong about the 50 days though. The opening is happening almost a month early! Quote
AaronG Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Open mouth, insert foot! Damn, who would've thunk it!! Heading up there to go flyfishing the first of November, now it looks like I take fly rods and snowboards with me!! I love dual purpose trips!!! Quote
Terryw Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 I don't know, sure looks like it is going to get warm again for a little while ...... Damn, but I am getting anxious to get back on the hill! Been watching carving videos and daydreaming ..........:rolleyes: Quote
Bullwings Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 I still can't get over how patient I've been this pre-season. Still no Jonesin', yet... Although I am looking forward to many things this season, the predicted winter weather pattern being one of them. Quote
djlepper Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 So it opens tomorrow:) Second earliest opening ever.... and free lift tickets! Quote
nekdut Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Wow, I am VERY glad I did not try to brave this insanity: http://www.wtfdiaf.com/uploader/pics/mmth-opening-16oct09-856am.jpg They opened 3 and 23 later in the day, but I heard every line was 30 minutes plus. Quote
AaronG Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 WTF!!! Looks like a sh*tload of ants heading for the honey bottle at my house in the summertime!! Quote
Loc Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 What a cluster f*! I'm still considering whether to drive up in the early AM and enjoy Saturday and some of Sunday. The diminishing coverage and crowd level is such a bummer but I'm hungry for turns. Quote
GeorgeS Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 The Mammoth web site had a picture of a large lift line in the morning. They took it off the site later on. The combination of free tickets and most So Cal College students being off on Fridays is the perfect storm for a crowd. Plan on going after the next storm later this month. Quote
