Mammoth: January 2011: Trip 1: Day 3
t'was another beautiful day at Mammoth. Polished off breakfast (and Dan's bruschetta), packed up the condo, and wandered off to Main Lodge in search of the airbag!
We ended up parked over at Mill-- right next to it, actually-- but that was no problem, we skiied right over to Main Lodge, noticed it was very windy (10mph at the base, 30-40mph at the top), and that the air bag was closed! ;_;
Still had a bunch of fun though, watching a superpipe competition that fed into the US Open, then did another run down Cornice before it got too windy. Met up with quite a few random people for a non-holiday weekend, although some of them were probably more sane than us and skipped the top. Boo!! (who needs sanity anyway? ;-) )
Micah and Altara popped down Forest Trail (terrain park) a bunch, then we did a few runs up and down Wall Street (which is an awesome lower-mountain run at our skill level), plus one ride up Chair 8 and down Dry Creek just for kicks. Bit moguly, but not a bad way to wrap up the day.
Not-so-quick stop at Schat's in Bishop on the way back for more cheese bread and sandwiches, then a long drive back to Los Angeles. Dropped Altara off at Union Station, then had dinner at Mr. Ramen (so-so ramen) before crashing out for the night-- work would be calling early the next morning!
