So stoked for the riding season. Already booked our stay. Can't wait to get away from these crazy cities and reconnect with the natural world.

Mammoth Mountain is not “the natural world”...unless you’re from LA.

@unrooted: Mammoth is delicious - it's naturally volcanic.

@unrooted: have you been to Mammoth? The Eastern Sierra's are pretty damn magical. Whether you're from LA, or Siberia.

@ggerrard7 yep, I live in Bishop...and that’s why I’m in Oregon for my summer riding vacation...but if you think mammoth is magical then have at it.

Pretty lame they’re charging the same price as last year for a pass. Not only are they closing early, they’re also not running chair 16 or chair 2. 80% of the trails may be “open”, but without chair 16, that whole half of the mountain pretty much turns into the trails you use to get back to town at the end of the day.

BUMMER!

Looks like the top is still under snow and some other trails aren't open. DC-10 is one of my faves.

Closed:

BOSCH eMTB Flow Trail
Chain Smoke
DC-10
Jill's Jumps
Kamikaze (Upper)
Pioneer Practice Loop
Roma's Road
Shock Treatment
Skid Marks (Upper)
Sunset Strip
Techno Rock
Toll Road
Velociraptor

I wonder if Tioga pass is open. It must be right? Anyway - looking forward to a long weekend over there soon! Especially since I finally found a pair of Michelin DH34s. I really don't give a damn how they work in moondust - they look sick! I wonder if my stickers are still up there at 11.000 feet from last time?

wobblegoblin (Jun 26, 2020 at 16:45)

It’s only open to people with a reservation to Yosemite, which have all been sucked up.

suspended-flesh FL (Jun 26, 2020 at 16:53)

@unrooted: OK - thanks for the head's up. I like Sonora Pass too - another beauty.

@endlessblockades: We came through last week and it was gorgeous and mostly empty except for Strawberry and Brightman Flat

rider001 (Jun 27, 2020 at 8:01)

@unrooted: Reservations are for autos only. No restriction by bike or foot.

Their bike park crew need to do a full tune up on pipeline. Jumps are blown out.

I pedaled the Mtn two weekends ago and hit snow in the trees on Beach Cruiser, I’m guessing it’ll be at least a few more weeks before they have the whole Mtn open.

good! a few less LA a*holes like myself to see on our local trails

It's funny L.A. claims Mammoth when it's solidly in Northern California. It's on the same latitude as South SF/San Bruno/Pacifica.

Dustfarter (Jun 26, 2020 at 22:14)

@endlessblockades: Because that's who goes there. Its a pretty gnarly drive to get there in the winter from the bay area whereas it's pretty chill from LA.
But agreed. It is NorCal

suspended-flesh FL (Jun 27, 2020 at 0:39)

@Dustfarter: Yep pretty much out of the question for winter sports unless you're coming from the south.

beanandcheeseburrito (Jun 27, 2020 at 8:03)

@endlessblockades: having grown up in the Central Valley I still see Mammoth as being pretty central. CA is a long ass state and Mammoth I’d still south of the Bay Area, Tahoe, etc.

beanandcheeseburrito (Jun 27, 2020 at 8:03)

@endlessblockades: *is

suspended-flesh FL (Jun 27, 2020 at 9:56)

@beanandcheeseburrito: As a Monterey County native, I agree, and I 'feel' that way, too. Take a look at a map. however. South San Francisco is NorCal wouldn't you say?

Mammoth Village: 37.6485° N,

Pacifica: 37.6138°122. N.

Anyway. Are people planning to camp or do you think lodging is doable. The Alpenhof is opening on July 1st and my stock of 'free' coffee mugs in getting very low..... camping at twin lakes is nice but a longer ride to the shuttle stop in town.

scottlink (Jun 27, 2020 at 17:39)

@endlessblockades: mammoth is clearly eastern California.... L.A. and San Diego can claim whatever, but it's the locals of mono county who are genuine shredders, not the posers who only visit

suspended-flesh FL (Jun 27, 2020 at 23:29)

@scottlink: Local shredders on bro deal don't pay the bills the town needs to survive - it's the visiting 'posers' who do that, you kook. Thanks for the geography, too.

beanandcheeseburrito (Jun 28, 2020 at 5:31)

@scottlink: cool story, bro. You wouldn’t have a mountain to shred if it wasn’t for people visiting. Do you really think Mono County on it’s own is enough to keep the resort funded? Get real. Oh wait I forgot you’re a real shredder. Haha

scottlink (Jun 28, 2020 at 7:07)

@beanandcheeseburrito: you obviously missed the point....

scottlink (Jun 28, 2020 at 7:13)

@endlessblockades: and city posers like yourself who read outsidemag and like to bro brah it up in the lift line talking how cool your kit and bike are totally fuel the local economy from your 1 visit a year... But, I'm from Colo-rad-bro.... What would I know????

beanandcheeseburrito (Jun 28, 2020 at 7:27)

@scottlink: the point where you’re being a self-entitled jerk?

suspended-flesh FL (Jun 28, 2020 at 8:09)

@scottlink: Actually yes, I do support the entire Eastern Sierra region - I tip quite well.

scottlink (Jun 28, 2020 at 14:22)

@beanandcheeseburrito: not self entitled, im just a dick

scottlink (Jun 26, 2020 at 15:34)

Mammoth is sick!!!!!!!

ckcbmrice (Jun 26, 2020 at 15:46)

Must be Covid-19. Nobody go there!! You should stay home so when I am there we will be socially distancing.

shwinn8 FL (Jun 26, 2020 at 19:26)

I miss Mammoth!

beanandcheeseburrito (Jun 27, 2020 at 8:03)
