It's been a pretty firm week at Mammoth Mountain. The nights have been a little too warm to make snow, while the days have been to cool to soften the snow above mid mountain. However, the skiing has remained fun with some nice snow in the gullies of Chair 3 and Climax. The groomers have kept busy, so there has been plenty of carvable corderouy around Main. Wes Bowl has a pretty challenging rutline, and the parks are full of jibs. Tonight snowmaking will begin a productive run that should get us in great shape for Thanksgiving.

It was a pretty nice weekend up here. The warm temps have made the lower mountain a bit thin and dirty, but there is still plenty of good skiing to be had. The best groomed skiing is Cornice/Saddle/Broadway, while the East Bowl Gullies on Chair 3 have the softest snow. The coverage is actually pretty solid until you get to the lower reaches of Stump, Mambo, St. Moritz, St. Anton and the race course runs. It looks like temps will cool back down around mid week allowing snowmaking to resume.

The last few days have had some of the best early season (preseason?) ski conditions ever. The standout run today was Center Bowl on Chair 3. Usually, this run gets groomed every night, and is quite popular for steep smooth skiing. Right now it's covered with super fun bumps and you can really cut loose, and rip 'em. There are no rutlines, so you can pick all sorts of lines; pivot turns, carve turns, air, or just mix it up and go fast. Wes Bowl is also shaping up nicely, with more soft fun bumpin' action.

Today was the first real powder day of the season. There was about a foot of fresh at Main Lodge, and a bit more higher up. The top never opened, so there is plenty left for tomorrow. I wish every season would start like this one.

It's snowing again! The forcast is calling for up to 6" of fresh before this clears out. It looks like tomorrow is gonna be another great day. I found myself lapping Cornice Bowl today. It's such a treat to ski it ungroomed; nice, soft and a bit bumpy. I know it's popular as a groomed run, but I think it's way more fun before the winch cat has it's way. I hope they leave it alone a little longer.

The upper Gondola opened today, and treated us to an early season windbuff feast There was great skiing from Dave's to da'Noids, with Hangman's being the only main top run that was not open. The best snow I found was on Dave's, and the gullies of Upper Dry Creek. The Wipe's and Drops were great too, until you hit the travese lines. The top is very well covered, almost like mid winter, but be carefull on the lower mountain. St. Anton does not have any snowmaking, and it is thin, rutted, and tricky.

Chair 3 was great today! The coverage was amazing with pretty much every run filled in. Wes Bowl was especially good, but there was great skiing all over. The East Bowl gullies are really fun right now; there is enough snow for decent coverage, but not enough to turn it into one big face. Gullies rule! China Bowl is is also quite tasty now, with a nice narrow exit between rock walls. High traverse provided variable snow freshies all day long, but the lower runout was thin and sticky by early afternoon. Discovery Chair looks to have plenty of snow for tomorrow's opening. The Top should open also, with plenty of coverage and a fun mix of snow conditions.
