Mammoth’s gondola rises 2,000-feet to the summit of 11,053-foot Mammoth Mountain. ย We rode it top to bottom all day today.

Patrol opened Hangman’s Chute at 9:30am today and we were the first ones in. ย Hangman’s was full of winteryย chalk above the choke and steep, buttery smooth powder below the choke.

We skied nothing but Hangman’s to the bottom every run until 1:30pm.

Today was a great day.ย  Cold, breezy, light winds, sunny, with winter snow. ย We had even more fun than we had yesterday, which we didn’t think possible.
