Nice. We've taken 4 trips over there this year which produced 10 or 12 powder days. It's a bit of a drive, but not many alternatives this year short of trip to Vermont. The last time there w...
Nice trip report, Frank. Good to see you're getting out.
Bummer. You missed it by a day. Sat turned out to be so much better than expected. No crust, no rain, and much better coverage in the boulder fields. Kind of heavy wet 7" at the road became more...
Nice skiing up there Silas. Thanks for bringing some motivation to ski that back side. Until you all arrived Frank had convinced me it would be best just to hang out on the ridge and drink maker'...
Wow!
from Chuck's first pic it looks like continuous snow down Bundy's. Unbelievable.
road is completely clear to the trailhead and beyond.
Excellent! I was just looking at possible trips out of Mammoth along the high route south. I've hiked it in the summer and always wanted to get down there for the corn season. I wasn't sure...

that looks like Brenda. Pretty decent skiing up there yesterday. We managed to make up for the late gate opening, but it put us back at the car well after 6:00.

Brenda and I were out celebrating our 28th anniversary over on the Paradise side. Found similar conditions but I think it might have been a little better. Deeper on most lower angle stuff, and maybe a...

the gate is still locked at the lot above the visitors center. We parked at the visitors center. The road is clear past the last switchback before the lot at Artist Pt. It's quite a mess in that...
I went to Mowich solo on Sat and was able to hook up with Cass. Thanks for the pics Cass, and the company. Such great snow. I had to pass on the Flett headwall, but Cass claims it skied pretty well....

yup, those 2 adventurous souls going through Knapsack Pass were me and Brenda. Good to meet up with someone back there who kind of knew the way, as it was our first time taking that route. I am confid...

Brenda and I spotted those tracks from our tour around Naches and Dewey Pks area. Looked a lot better than the sticky, hissing stuff we were skiing.

Excellent. Snow quality was obviously much better than we found around Ingalls. I love that tour. For us it's just the right amount of committment to feel like we actually did something.
I think Brenda and I spotted you all as you summitted Bean Pk. Six of us made a ski camp over the weekend down in the trees around 5200'. Pretty good skiing over there Fri thru Sun, and the weath...
