This season, there will be a total of four 'Bear to Mammoth' road trips taking place in the form of a web series. Last week while Episode 2 was being filmed with John Kutcher, Jake Doan and Jonah Williams, I tagged along to snap some photos.

We started the trip off at Bear Mountain greeted by sunny skies and a huge park with a ton of options. The two days we had went by extremely quickly, highlights included: the avocado bombs at the Brewery (which is enough reason for me to return), margaritas at the Beach Bar after skiing and the amazing spring-like conditions in January.

After two really fun days skiing the park at Bear, we hit the road and headed north up to Mammoth! Our arrival was timed perfectly with a storm, which capped off the great two days of park shredding we already had. The sun even came out on our last day, giving us a bluebird morning of skiing pow.

Debut album dropping soon!
