Brian Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I would suggest Roberto's in Mammoth, food, drinks, atmosphere, views are good and not too bad for "la cuenta" (the check) either. aloha Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Clocktower is good for drinks and Whiskey Creek has a pretty good Happy Hour too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I am going to visit these places this weekend and speak with management to see if we can arrange a little area for us carvers or arrange any HH deals. I'll keep you guys posted. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Conditions for the event are looking to be AWESOME. There were some worries about spring slush for early April, but storm after storm throughout March (only 5 days so far this month without snow!!) have left Mammoth COLD and covered with tons of snow. The event is approaching quite rapidly so please start posting here if you want to arrange group tickets and/or condo sharing. As always, let me know if you have any questions! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I've got 5 people that would need tickets. Is it possible to still get the discounted tickets if we only ride Sat and Sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi, Has anybody already arranged for condos/lodging? Email me or post here, if somebody needs an additonal person for a condo or has an empty spot to fill. Thanks, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Weatherguy Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 To All I can't wait to ride Mammoth. Yvonne(my girlfriend) and I have plans to leave Santa Cruz on Thursday afternoon and return on Sunday or Monday. We may stay in Tahoe on Thursday night and ride there on Friday to break up the drive. Then head to Mammoth on Friday afternoon. Although with 3 drivers I would not be opposed to going straight to Mammoth. Does anyone know what the drive will be like if there is snow from South Lake or (kirkwood. I've not ventured that way and wondering what the pass is like and how long it may take, best route etc.. I do have 4 wheel drive and don't mind driving in snow. Or should I take the southern route from Santa Cruz? Sonora and Tioga will not be open. It would be great to hook up for the ride but if not I would definitley like to share accomodations with others. I have not looked into the choices or rates. If anyone has room for a couple that would be great. I think a condo sounds a lot nicer than the Motel 6. I will have one space available in the car as well.

Ray Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 wow, did you guys check the weather forcast yet, especially the 10 day! I mean, I like that we have and still get snow, but enough is enough :rolleyes: Really hope it clears up on time so the snow can settle so we can CARVE CARVE CARVE...

nekdut Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Ray, Tell me about it man! I know it is wrong to say this, but I am getting tired of pow!! I want some good firmpack, particularly for next weekend. I am picking up a bunch of Doneks tomorrow, and Sean tells me I should have a good number of Axxesses available for demo if we do need something for the soft and chunky. ------------------------ EDIT: Looks like the 10 day has changed a bit for next weekend. Lets hope it holds true! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kerry Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Weatherguy, I just got back from June and happened to see your post asking about routes into the Mammoth area from Tahoe. From the CalTrans roadsigns I saw, all passes are closed. It's my guess you'll have to head into Reno then take the 395 south to the Mammoth/June area.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Bump , Plus an offer to host a photo gallery for your event? Take photos/ videos and send them to me. I can arrange an FTP for visitors and larger files. Someone in the group should understand how to do this? Wish I could join you. Great mountains!!! Great season. I may not have the bandwidth for allot of video , however I will do what I can. Get those digital cameras out and take lots of photos!!!!

You may get your wish Dave. The weather models show the storm ending on Wednesday or early Thursday. Lets hope we can CARVE to our heart's delight! I rode today on 1 day old pow (2ft fell on Fri) and it was fairly chunky bumpy throughout, however I still had a great time. The temperatures stayed reasonable and the snow quality was quite good. Tried out the Donek Pilot 172. I think I'm too heavy for that board, washed out when I really pushed it, and it didn't like it when I agressively initiated turns on the nose. However it was a pretty easy and relaxing ride in general, and it might real well for someone less than 150lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Weatherguy Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Looking for floor space, pullot or bedroom in condo or house for 2 people in Mammoth for the SNES. Looking to split costs. My snowboarding budget is running low due to 6 straight weekends in Tahoe. Damn snow just won't stop. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Does anyone have an extra set of board vices? I am going to bring my one pair, but an extra would come in handy for the weekend. Any T-handle 5mm allen wrenches would also be really useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I have those board vices that are on ebay...theyre plastic though...dunno how well they'd hold up to "abuse" (ie many boards, all day long) dont have extra allen wrenches...keep losin my own!

nekdut Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Dave, we would not be tuning boards on the vices. Just installing bindings and such. I just want something stable to put the boards on. Don't worry about it if yours aren't up to the task :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Tuthill Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Neil: I hope it clears for you guys! Just checked the 10 day forcast, shows snow all weekend for you guys. I hope the WX guys are wrong!!! I'm off to so cal to help my wife with here dad, BUMMER!! Will get to Mammoth the last half of the month. Do keep Dave from touching the snow and make sure Brian keeps the 197 Burner under control. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Randy, From counting the interest in this thread, I think there are a total of 13 people who need tickets. Anyone else? Speak up real soon please. ------------ On a side note, today Mammoth just broke its all time record for snowfall in a season (for as long as they have been recording it at least). Lets hope it lets up a bit for the weekend, but bring the longboards, swallowtails, Fishes, and AM boards along just in case! I'll have a handful of Donek Axxesses and Madd BX, Freestyle/Freeride boards if need be. Mammoth will be open until, or past, Independence Day this year! Who's up for some real summer carving!

Randy T. Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well i'll be packing the a board for all conditions just in case but I sure hope we can get in some good carving. Last year I went to Mammoth on the 4th of July weekend. We stayed at the camp ground, went mountain biking one day and snowboarding the next!
