Cuban Carving Gooding Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm thinking about the Icon next season. What are weekend crowds like? I will come down from Heavenly for a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 June is pretty empty, even when it is "crowded". I have not been on holiday weekends but other busy weekends it is still nice. Just make sure to get there early on those crowded weekends, that upload chair can be over an hour wait around 10 am. Mammoth can get pretty stupid depending on the weekend and where you are riding. I have only been to heavenly once on a weekend but I would say it is probably comparable based on that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 While the parking lot and J1 access chair can get heavy, the June slopes are amazingly uncrowded even on holiday weekends...maybe a 5 min max line at J7 but never a line elsewhere. Superior grooming and quality snow are the norm. Also a little closer to Tahoe than Mammoth via the Kingsbury grade. Midweek is a ghost town. Approach Mammoth on the weekends like you would Heavenly. Straightliners aplenty, merging trails and plenty of noobs keep your head on a swivel. I'm not sure what it means but is seems as if the official vehicle of the Mammoth crowd is a newish Audi SUV with racks on top. The June vehicle is a pickup or Subaru.
