Mammoth skied pretty well today, but the place needs more snow (not in the forecast) or warm temps. They are advising people not to ski above rocks (think pinball). The warm temps and heavy (mositure-wise) snow (after lighter snow) last week are showing their wrath.
Coverage: Snow bases are great. Everything is wide open.
Temps: The temp only reached maybe 40 today at 8000. No softening. Not even on south faces or lower elevations.
Conditions: The groomers and bowls on the north faces are in nice shape. Packed-powder and some wind-packed. However, the wind is no longer loading the slopes. Things are starting to get hard.
Backside/Chairs 13&14 are in poor/very hard shape-- even the groomers.
Eastside/Chairs 15, 9, 25, 22 are also poor/very hard shape -- even the groomers.
Picks: Chair 5, G2, Goldhill off of 9, areas of C23 -- and groomers on North faces.
