It was a pretty sweet closing day on Mammoth Mountain. There was plenty of snow(still is), and the weather was great. The Wipes and Drops were fun with soft bumps in the chutes, and smoother but mushy snow back to 23. Wes Bowl was rockin' with a perfect rutline that allowed you to get in the groove and keep it all the way. Of course, the groomers were in great shape with lots of room to let 'em run.

The backcountry got a nice resurfacing from last weeks storms, and has the smoothest conditions of the season. We skied the Crest on Friday and Saturday, and found some great snow before 11 am. There should be plenty of great corn for the next couple weeks, so don't put the away yet.

Have a great summer, and thanks for reading my winter blog.

After a powder filled Memorial Day weekend, MMSA will stay open until June 1st. I managed to get quite a few freshies, especially on Sunday and Monday. The weather turned most of our annual tent sale into an "inside Kittredge sale", but the powder turns were worth it. Right now it is snowing again, and hopefully tomorrow will be another great ski day.

Mammoth Mountain has announced that Monday the 26 of May will be the last day of ski season. Boo! There is plenty of snow, and the skiing is great. The problem is just a total lack of business of the hill. I have never seen the mountain as empty in May as it has been. The conditions on the hill are a nice mix of groomed runs, rutline bumps in Wes Bowl, and soft round bumps up top. The spring pipe should open tomorrow.

I have been spending more time skiing the backcountry than ski area this spring. Preston, Cara and I camped out near South Lake earlier in the week, and skied the great bowls below Mt. Gilbert. The snow was the smoothest I have skied all spring. Rock Creek has some great skiing in the Treasure Lakes area, and the Lakes Basin Road is being plowed, making for quick access to Mammoth Crest. Tioga Pass is still pretty good, with plenty of great snow from Gaylor to False White, and probably beyond. Ellery Bowl is still good, but Dana Couloir has blue ice showing.

Be sure to check out our Memorial day sale. We have all '07-'08 skis on sale at 50% off or better.
