We went to Mammoth almost two weeks ago for a long weekend of early skiing (and snowboarding in Vanis case). Lots of fun. Lots of rocks. Lots of ice (I was glad I had two sets of edges to get down in some places). A bit too many scrathes in my awesome K2 Apache Recon skis. They are so much fun. Need to turn? They practically do the work for you. Got a bit too much speed? Don't worry, they are rock solid (unless you hit a pile of stones, of course).
Can't wait to go again...
