RE: My California - Mammoth Mountain
What a stunning place! It's nice to hear that you go there with your family. Getting a seasonal pass is probably much cheaper so it is a good choice! I wish I could do more stuff with my parents..
I'm surprised that it doesn't look that crowded there. Did you go there during the weekdays?
Skiing all morning must be tough so it's clever that you're just cruising around for the rest of the day. The food in the mountains here is also very price and it's better to bring your own as the quality is not necessarily good either.
Oh, poor lady! I hope nothing happened to her. I wouldn't even see a road there if you didn't mention it :)
Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!
The season pass is much cheaper. And it's good for a bunch of resorts not just Mammoth. So besides my 4 days at Mammoth I've got in 3 more days at the Big Bear Resorts. So I've got 7 days on my pass so far. So I've already saved well over $100.
I'm really lucky to have my mom and uncle who are into skiing and hiking and all that kinda outdoor stuff just like me. We have a lot of fun together.
Yes, we try to ski only weekdays because the weekends get very crowded. Even on such a big mountain with lots of lifts the lines can get quite long. If we want to ski a weekend we'll drive 45minutes from Mammoth to June mountain and ski there. Our season passes work there too. It's a much smaller resort but it's still very nice and it's usually less crowded.
The snow is usually the best quality in the morning so that's why it's "go, go, go" all morning. We wanna take advantage of the nicer conditions while they last.
The lady was ok luckily. It was really hard to see the highway. It was almost a complete white out. And even while we were stopped helping this lady people were flying by us at high speeds with no chains or snow tires... I thought for sure I was gonna see someone die that day. There was a big rig and 2 other trucks that slid off the highway, but luckily no one we saw was badly hurt.
Thanks for stopping by @delishtreats! I hope you have a great weekend as well!
