How many snowboarders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
10, 1 to do it, and 9 to say 'I can do that.'

I'd say Bear Mtn. can't compare to Mammoth in any aspect.

We have just started on the new rails for this season. I will update with pics in the next few weeks.

As for the Mammoth/Bear argument Bear mountain has more rails and maybe more jumps because they barely get ANY snow all year - meaning that they can set up their jumps and rails and they dont have to fuck with them for the whole year -besides basic grooming and repair. As for Mammoth - there is no way we could have as many rails and such simply because it snows so much (385 inches AVERAGE). Mammoth already has around 20 people for park crew and we would need about 30 more just to fix the rails after one storm if we had a lot more. Rails take a lot of work to dig out/move and set up. Same thing with jumps - when it snows here we get crazy winds which result in very large drifts that can bury a whole jump. Cats cost a lot of money to run so it wouldnt be practical to have hundreds of jumps - its about quality not quantity. Mammoth also has a much better scene than bear/summit. Most skiers and boarders here chill and ride together - its not the whole 'i am such a badass snowboarder' LA kid attitude at bear. I probly forgot something in this rant but im tierd of work and goin home now.

Your right abour quality over quantity, mammoth dosnt have as many rails, but all the rails they have are all different and technical, like the sbox, teardrop and the fence rail, not to mention the jibs galore. Bear has just tons of small rails, except for the gatekeeper and the rainbow.





Mind over matters what matters...

I'm gonna have to go with the no comparison category. id much rather go to an actual mountain like mammoth with some terrain to it. and unbound is incomparable, theres more than one park and all the hits were really smooth, at least when i was there... so yeah.
