AcousticBoarder Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Skiing today in June, back out on the board tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Headed up this week again. Looks like it is going to be cold! My experience has been than June has better groomers when it is hard and fast, so I am probably going to head there. Do you have similar findings? Anyone else around this week?

AcousticBoarder Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 At June tomorrow? I am thinking the same time frame, no reason to go any earlier with these temperatures and lack of crowd. Hopefully see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryw Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Planning a trip to Mammoth March 23, 24, 25. Might make the 24th at June to avoid all the crazies at Mammoth.... Anyone else contemplating for that weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gilmour Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 If the report is pa Les powder and colder temps I’m in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinchillaman Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’m headed up to mammoth this weekend and while packing (moved twice last year) I seem to have pitched my boots. Any recommendation on where to grab a last minute pair of boots size 29.5?! Any alpine shops in LA or Mammoth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjnakata Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm a Mammoth Noob, but I'm headed there this Saturday...spring conditions! I am wondering what board to ride... I have a Coiler AM 169 or a NFCB 172, or do you see a 161 slalom board? How about a Donek incline 164 with soft boots...Tanker 177? I'm just not a Mammoth rider and don't really know what is appropriate there at this time of year..Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 If you're up early for the ice, go with something short that cuts the ice, whatever metal you have best for those conditions. For the "magic hour" anything goes. You will feel like flying for about 30 mins tops. Once things go too soft, go long/big SCR. Surf the slush way on the back foot, steeper the better.

I'll start with the MK and then change to the Coiler AM in the afternoon... soft boots stay at home... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go shorter when it hits slush time! Out comes the Moss PQ60 and the Moss Squadron ! ..... and with all that Moss setback your a Slush Slayer..... not a back foot rider! Should be a blast no matter what! Post some photos and let us know how the conditions were!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Conditions at Mammoth 4-28-18 were good...as expected. Plenty of coverage, backside open and lifts/gondola to the top, but only Main lodge and Mill were open. All lifts left (east) of Rollercoaster closed (Tamarack, Eagle, Canyon lodges closed). Very hard in the morning until about 1030 when it suddenly went softer, then soft at 200. Windy all day. Crowded I think for late season (pics don't show it), with a few straightliners in the am. The longer AM board was a great choice for the afternoon. The morning was too hard (and crowded) for my comfort in the SL.

John Gilmour Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Looks pretty good. How long are you up there? Do you know if the Whitmore hot springs roads are dry or muddy? Might bring the turtles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
