Waiting for Snow in Mammoth

Mammoth has had a real slow start to Winter this season…REAL SLOW… Its the end of December and there is no natural snow to ski/ride on.  The snowmakers at the mountain have done a great job however getting terrain open for the holiday crowds.  I’ve found that the best time to make some turns has been the first hour of being open.  No lift lines, no crowds on the trail and fresh corduroy.  Hopefully mother nature will get on board soon.  All eyes on the middle of the month for Winter to hopefully make its way to the Sierra.  Until then, keep doing your snow dance and take what you can get.  Here is a short bootcam clip enjoying some early morning groomers before the crowds.
