Just got back from a week down at Mammoth. It is incredible how much snow there is over there. Rather than walking down stairs to exit from the Gondola at the top of the mountain, you exit the building directly onto snow! The sign that is normally 11ft plus at the top is buried except for the last two feet of it. The skiing was incredible after it had softened up. Thursday was the first day of skiing and a…

One of the Best Days of the Year!

22 Apr 2011, Posted by Ski NASTC in Latest News

The skiing out there is unreal!! Probably one of the best spring skiing days ever! Hands down. The mountains are buffed out and smooth and the snow is just right. Get out there and make some turns you will feel like rockstar. You can go just about anywhere as the coverage is great and the conditions are so forgiving. If you are backcountry buff, there is a gold mine out there – have fun!
