    Top 10 Resorts

    I think skiing magazine has the best overall balance as far as these things go. Ski is for yuppie families and freeskier just doesn't seem to cover all aspects. I actually enjoy reading a lot of the articles in skiing. I think their top10 would share many of the resorts, but would add some...

    Your Mountain's Lift Ticket Prices??

    Mammoth, CA $72 (I think) for peak weekends. I have never paid for a lift ticket at Mammoth, so I am not really sure. Season pass is $450 or so. Mt Hood Meadows, OR $59 for peak days. I seem to remember paying $44 just a couple years ago. Season pass would be $300 if I still lived up there...

    New Mac. WHOA.

    64 Bit won't really even matter until the OS and all software running under it is native 64bit. Also, you can't forget that not all of the software has been ported over to x86 architecture, so all of the performance gain over the G5 may be lost to rosetta for the time being.

    4frnts really worth the price????

    I love my MSP180s. I paid around $400 and they are totally worth every penny. I just wish I had snapped up the three pair I saw this may for $99. Just didn't have space in the car for 'em.

    Mammoth

    Pleinski covered pretty much everything. There are also a lot of small cliff drops and other fun places to play hidden all over the mountain. Explore all the inbounds terrain, and once done with that, you have a shit-ton of backcountry easily skiable nearby.

    Mammoth Question

    As of next year, Mammoth airport should be getting 1 or 2 flights a day from commercial airlines. They just got the goahead from the FAA :(

    Cheap eating in/around mammoth

    Hit up happy hour at Whiskey creek. During the summer I think it is 5-6:30. 1/2 Price entrees (so $4-10) and $10 pitchers.

    Mammoth Avalanche - Official Press Report and LOTs of pics

    Definitely no way to air into huevos now. Unless you get a bunch of speed and air off the crown of this avy. I haven't been out in a couple weeks (school, etc) and even then, there were no rocks at the enterance to huevos. I am hoping not much has melted by this weekend because I want to hit...

    Bring on the summer

    Screw summer and winter, I am wondering where spring is. I cant wait for some nice warm days where I can session the park all day and then hit up the BBQ afterwards. I swear, every single weekend I go skiing we have 1-2 feet of fresh pow. I have had maybe 3 sunny (non-pow) days this entire...

    Mammoth in May

    Mammoth should be pretty great this may. It just snowed about 7 feet this week, setting an all time record for most snow in a season (we are at 639" right now, previous record was 617") The spring season pass is ~$375 and is good starting April 24 through the end of the season (probably past...

    Mammoth Backcountry

    Aside from lift-accessible BC at Mammoth, there are an infinite number of hike-to routes near town in the Sherwins. Plenty of sick looking coloirs and open powder fields. In-bounds riding outside the park also kicks major ass.

    Helmet reccomendations --

    I bought a nine.9 with TuneupsII about 2 months ago, but got a medium instead of small. Hit me up if you want to buy it. I guess I could let it go for $70. Aim: sammybk sammmybk@gmail.com

    Ski team BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

    The only way to solve the problem is to take control of the ski team. Have some sort of coup d'etat. I am now captain and president of my ski team. On powder days we do not race (or practice). If conditions are too good we do not race. We take warm up laps in the park between runs. We do not...

    Pretty much every year they stay open until at least memorial day (~June5), but past then there are no guarantees.

    Mammoth passes next year.

    Next year Mammoth is going to have a 'Silver' pass for $535 if you are 18 when you buy it. It isn't good MLK weekend, Prez weekend or New Years. We are going to try to get Mammoth to bring back a student pass now that MVP is over. You could also teach lessons for 7 days and get a free pass...
