To the surprise of few (except snowboarders with minimal legal knowledge?) the lawsuit has been dismissed. From the Judge: Full decision is available here.

We took the opportunity that a break in weather today provided to bag some fun lines off the Mammoth Crest today. There were 5 of us on this mission but only one had skied this area before. The Crest has the deepest snowpack in the immediate area, and stability is the most reliable here now. The...

http://www.mammothtimes.com/content/jun ... eason-gone Considering the 26 straight years of operation at a loss, this sure sounds like the death-knell for June. It's certainly unfortunate, as June provided a great relief valve. When weather at Mammoth during a storm was too much to run lifts...

We got less snow that we'd hoped for (the Sesame plot said ~5" while we'd hoped for more like a foot), and in some places you'd hit the subsurface. The wind stripped some things but also made some places deep, including Dave's and Dragon's Tail. Through a combination of luck and intuition, I...

I didn't see this on the front page, but may have missed it. http://thesheetnews.com/archives/12749 http://unofficialnetworks.com/pink-slip ... ate-79827/ Emphasis mine, I find the bolded line shocking. Were Rusty et all really so naive as to make that projection, when last season was the...

This TR is very late, but hey it's summer, and I finally got the pictures from my buddy Ben, so I figured it's worth a share. The Solstice Couloir is a pretty sweet line on the north-east face of Mt. Dana, serving up roughly 1200 vertical, the top half of which is around 40+ degrees. It is a...

Because of a series of late meetings last Friday evening, I didn't even leave San Diego for LA until after 6pm. I got some sleep and awoke at 3am Saturday morning to meet a couple friends for a ride up to Mammoth. The early effort was rewarded, as the day dawned bluebird. My friends were slow...

I drove up Thursday night in anticipation of epic days starting Friday, and the effort was handsomely rewarded. By Friday morning Mammoth had ~2 feet of fresh with ZERO wind overnight and all day. The storm was also fairly cold, so as you can see below conditions were deep. The sky was clear...

This is a bit late, but I finally got around to editing the video tonight so I figured it was worth sharing. The 29th was the main day of the previous significant storm here in Mammoth. Mammoth patrol reported 29.5 inches overnight and the forecast called for heavy snow and winds all day...

No pics (it was low vis most of the day anyway) but I figure folks might want a quick report. The storm brought more snow sooner than expected, leaving ~26" at Main by 2am last night. Woke up today to bluebird, but a quick check of the radar warned that the clear sky wouldn't last long...

So the weather didn't work out the way it was initially foretasted (and as I had hoped). Instead of more snow on Saturday and Saturday night, it was pretty much clear yesterday. I had to work so today was my day to try to clean up the leftovers. Driving up, there was heavy rain in the morning...
