slopestar Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Katie and I will be flying back to Bishop from Colorado to ride. Katie is doing a 3 day women's clinic with one of our friends who is a level 3 instructor at Mammoth. Why? (she rides with The Legendary LCI most weekends) To support a good friend and to visit family in Lone Pine and our LA/Mammoth friends. Im sure i will do at lease Saturday or Sunday at June. Anyone planning months in advance? Probably just my wife...She rips so its all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy_in_SD Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Hi Slopestar, is the instructor giving hard boots classes in Mammoth all season? If so, could I get a contact address? i may go there in the coming months, not sure of the dates yet. I badly need some heavy inputs on my position and ride. I’m a beginner with 20 years riding hard boots (once every 10-15 years…). Blue sky Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, AASI/CASI hardboots is Level 4 i believe. Or not at all anymore because Duck Stance on rockered boards is the way of the world... nothing better than slarving and calling it a carve. If we are there, Ill be on softies but happy to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 We had to bail out on our plan. I’m stoked for you and your wife. We opted for a Mexico summer vacation… should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastsiiiide Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 That weekend should be off the hook, weather and snow-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 thread jack: plan to be Palisade/Mammoth April 18 - 25 At the time it seems like a good idea. What's the expected condition like? likely spring slush? carving to be had at that magical few hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, the base snowpack is already 2 ft deeper (0.6m) than the max depth that season, 190" vs 165". Plan accordingly, eh. On average, Mammoth snowfall in March is 129cm, and April 66cm. What the temps and surface will be like, who can say, but we're currently seeing blizzard conditions and big snowfall. So it's def a good year to roll the dice on an April visit.
