Breck is prob close as well because of Dew Tour ... but that doesn't mean it's open to public (probably shortly after though)

I think we've got a Grand Prix event in Mammoth sometime in mid-January. Idk if anyone will have a full 22er before then.

was kind of thinking about that, do you know when it would be open.

Also, Id say its pretty typical for all the 22 footers to open up around mid-January give or take. But what about 18 foot or bigger?

Yeah, figures... how about 18s or 20s? I don't think Jackson is making one this year and timberline is a 16(???) but where else has a 18 or bigger that might open a little earlier?

Shoot a dm to Mammoth Unbound on insta, they'll have an answer. If I had to speculate, I'd say we'll have an 18' pipe by the second week of December and a 22' up by the first week of January. Also, it's Mammoth so we'll have 2-3 pipes at once throughout the season.
