Snow-A-Rama

For years, our ski trips have been planned in advance, dates crafted to fit the calendars of a group of busy friends. This year, Fred and I decided that for once, we’d be snow trackers, follow the weather reports for Mammoth, and strike when the snowstorms arrived.

I’m happy to disclose that our strategy was a success. We made our lodging reservations on Friday for Sunday arrival. And in the last four days, it’s probably the best snow conditions we’ve ever skiied. Two storm days brought the sweet skiing where the slopes have fresh tracks on every run. Wednesday gave us a sun filled, warm day to enjoy the new snow. The storm expected on Friday came a day early, so we get yet another dump of “pow”. We don’t mind a bit of bluster, so not everyone would enjoy every minute of the days, but boy, is there wonderful snow to be skiied.

I can’t recommend this spur of the moment planning enough!!!
