here is a topomap of the area, and it shows two campgrounds: Phlox Point and Alpine. I have skied through Phlox point in winter and there is some sort of Boy Scout cabin there. It may or may not be occupied. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

I think there is actually a forest service campground within the timberline permit area. Lemme check that. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Hey, lemme know the dates you will be up there. Our school ski/snowboard team/club has a cabin up there. We can have guests for $25 each/night. Only problem is some busy times it can be floor space only. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

It was ~85F here today. Everywhere was setting record highs. Big difference from the 3' or so we got in teh local mountains less than 2 weeks ago. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Yeah, I was at mammoth on teh 27th and then June on the 28th and it was just epic beyond description. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

I go to college in Los Angeles, but I still ski 2-3 days a week at Mammoth. My school (USC) gots a ski/snowboard club/team. We rent a house in Mammoth for the season and can go there whenever we want. There are some guys who have spent more time there than at school. Only bad part is you...

I just remembered chemistry class. I meant isopropyl alcohol. Ethyl is the shit they put in gasoline. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Try using ethyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) instead of gasoline. It burns at a low temperature. My friends would play flaming hacky sack using that stuff. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

My candides had the same problem, while my brother just got some nice scratches. I think the base on candides is a bit thin. Here's a good idea from another ski website - To make a core shot repair without the time and expense of taking your skis to a shop for a base weld ( a core shot is a...

If you guys need a good cheap wax iron, go to goodwill. I have found two of em there that are travel irons with no holes in the bottom. Got em for $1.99 work just as well as my friends $50 toko wax irons ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

If one ski has a good edge, I have candides with the same problem on one ski, so If I could get one ski with a good edge, I would have a decent set. I would be willing to buy the ski if you sell the bindings seperatly. Or I will take the whole set for $65shipped -------------------------...

Yeah, I had salomon Xfrees and they snapped in half right in front of the left binding. Straight from the top all the way down to the base. The only thing holdin em together was the base and edges. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Prolly about knee-midthigh deep. I dont get too much light stuff at meadows, but one time had a nice set of storms and then got Heather canyon right after they took downt the ropes for the first time in ~1-2 weeks. That was awesomest run of my life :-) ------------------------- Representin...

I live in south-central. Does that make me 'ghetto'? There are a bunch of black guys playing basketball on the court near my place. I get $33,000 of financial aid each year to go to school, but I still ski. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Thanks for the suggestions. I got my edge tapered off this weekend, so it looks like I won't loose any more for a while. I think I am gonna ski without the edge for the rest of the season, and then see what I can afford next september or when my candides finally cease to be of use...

I currently have a pair of candides, but they are falling apart (10cm edge missing). What is a good replacement ski for them, or should I just get another pair of candides? I am not looking to spend much more than $200, and I am willing to buy used gear. I spend most my time off piste, but...

Cooper Spur at Mt Hood. An incredible 500' vert rise and 50 acres of ski terrain. My brothers friend has been raving about it ever since he went there for a 3 day ski trip. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

I did it this summer, but it was freakin tiring with 180cm skis. It would prob be better with 160s. My bro made some skis out of foam, but we never perfected a good substitute. ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth

Anyone heading to mammoth from LA this weekend? I got a couple people who wanna go, and we dont have a ride. We got a house we could all crash at for no cost. email me kislevit@usc.edu Thanks, Sam ------------------------- Representin Hood at Mammoth
