^^ dude you on a tall mountail that is very exposed...what did u expect...mammoth aint hood...the reason the snow stays so long is that it is usually cold and windy...

i have been there every weekend since april and only a few times was it warm enough to hoody it...

as for hiking...NO mountain that is open would let you hike their park!!! Not one...the lift ticket is essentially their sign off for liablility if kids are poaching and get hurt it opens the mountain up for law suits

As you drive up to the west lodge there are several rails lying down just off the street to your right. Those can be your best bet for a quicky session....BTW...it is a large hike to get to the upper park and if the lifts are closed you will be turned around quicker than a vietnamese hooker

that was one of mammoths major downfalls when i lived there, the wind was terrible, every time it would snow it would be so damn windy it was not even fun to go ski.

"BASE jumping is the best sport ever evented. Everyone should go out and order "BAse Jumping Baffin Islands" with Shane and Miles. Rails on skies look like roller blading. It's fucking gay and you wanting to watch hours of that shit makes you fucking gay. It's like comparing figure skating to hockey. SOunds like we a a lot of figure skaters on this site."-sno-man

so, we ended up hiking up to the lower park, the one by chair 1. it took a really long time, it was windy and cold, then there was only 1 railish thing set up. it was impossible to get up to the top of chair 3, there were winds at like 80mph....so here I am sitting in a condo in Mammoth with nothing to do. hopefully tomorrow will be nicer.

i hiked about 3/4 of the way up to this box on the main unboud park and hit it 5 times then realized that the wind+newsnow=unhittble and unjudgable. hopefully tommorow it will be sicker and all those rails along the side dont really look hittable or able to be set up

man just never let wether affect you. i ride when it is -50, or +2. No mattter what wind it is, or what visibility. You got the outerwear for the cold, and gogs for your eyes. the end.
