Comments
Had plans to head up Mammoth and across to Ron Jeremy. When we gained the ridge and started making our way south, every little open pocket in the trees had a big whoomph, and cracking around us. About 50m in, and a settlement every 10-15 steps or so, we pulled the pin, and went back to ski the back side of mammoth. The riding there was great.
