As I write this little update, the second big storm of the season is dumping light, fluffy snow right outside my window. We’re having an amazing start since it’s only early December! I will be teaching again this year and look forward to seeing you up the hill. And as usual, happy to answer any […]
Phew what a few years it’s been! Since I last wrote, my wife and I welcomed our baby daughter to the world in January of 2017, in the middle of the snowpowcalypse that was the winter of 2016-17. Luckily we live close to the hospital and the birth went well – the nurses told us […]
On our evening walk, my wife, son and I happened upon a bear! This is the closest I’ve been to a black bear since moving to Mammoth. He definitely knew we were there, but just slowly ambled across the path… occasionally turning his head to stare at us as we played silly humans and took […]
We had the famous “10 feet of wind” last weekend… but luckily, along with all of that wind came NEW SNOW! The mountain is looking nice and white now. We got 4-6 inches at Main Lodge and 1-2 feet up top! Mammoth Mountain opens on November 10… just a little over 3 weeks away. Dust […]
Wow how time flies! Had a great 2015/16, with some amazing snow, fun lessons, and the mountain open until July 4. Now we’re in full-swing summer. I’ve been busy working, hanging out with my wife and 2-year-old, camping, and training for the grueling Tioga Pass Run (12.4 miles – only one hill!). See you for […]
Gidday, We’re off to a great start for the 2014/15 season! Fingers crossed the snow continues to fall. I’m instructing again this season, it’s hard to believe this is my sixth at Mammoth! Please contact me for my availability if you’d like to take a private lesson; all bookings need to be directly made through […]
Hello, Just wanted to write and let everyone know that I will be teaching again at Mammoth for the 2012/13 winter. It will be my fourth season and I’m really excited for this one as I’ve had a nice long break from skiing over the summer. The summer in Mammoth was exceptional by the way, […]
NASA just released a fantastic high-res image of Earth from space, and it happens to include a cloud-free view of our little area of California! You can clearly see the trough or depression in the mountains that creates a perfect funnel for storms (well, most years). The Long Valley Caldera is also easy to spot. […]
Last weekend the skies finally opened up and we got some natural snow falling from above. Two storms rolled in and provided a much needed boost for the season. Mammoth Mountain is claiming four feet of new snow which I’d say is about right. It is enough to have all lifts open and most terrain […]
The last time we got a decent snow fall was last year back on November 20th. We have finally received some new snow exactly two months later! It was only an inch so far but enough to cover the dirt and at least make the mountain look like a picture of winter. The skiing won’t […]
