Miltie Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Shredster, You could always drive to LA and carpool up Mammoth/June with someone from the So Cal Contingent. There is usually someone headed that way each weekend. Also, Horizon (Alaska) offers flights into Mammoth Lakes via LAX - not sure price though. Had many good days at either place over the years. Also lot's of options for places to stay. Worth a consideration. Good luck with the job transfer! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks for the input.. but flights yea.. maybe feasible.. a few times a year.. its lodging that will kill me... its always the most expensive of a trip.... so I guess I have to start networking that... hate to be a cheep guy but flying four or five times then lodging won't be an option.. Thats why I guess stuck with Arizona snowbowl... sure looks like I won't be riding everyweek end... and snowbowl is the only option for that.. and I have been there 3 times.. and each time the grooming was less and less.. hate to hang up the hard boots..

utahcarver Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Pardon my ignorance but, aren't there still 'ski clubs' available which help provide discounts for airfare, lodging, and lift ticket costs? I'm sure there is one or two somewhere in the Phoenix area. May not be applicable to your situation though, Shred. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Shred (and others): Moving to northern Utah is not a good idea. The snow quality is lack-luster at best. It rarely snows here anyway. With all of the global warming going on, it's a wonder that we get snow here anymore. And when it does snow, the slopes are so crowded that it makes the freeway system here look like a wasteland. It's mainly man-made crustal spew and it melts within a day or two. Oh, and the slopes? It's so hard to refer to them as slopes. It's more like a slightly unbalanced pool table. Little to no vertical to be had here. I'd suggest the lofty environs and steep slopes of Colorado or Montana. That's where I'd head if I was changing jobs. I hope this helps!!! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah, Ogden area mountains suck! The snow is way to soft. Ogden is a unique place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
