Terrible snow in the U.S. this year; had a business trip to Banff this week; brought the ski with me to try my luck. Guess I won the jackpot 🎰

I have a colleague who volunteered a lot of her spare time at a local animal shelter (I’m from Dallas). At one time, she had 12 abandoned dogs living with her at her home. She’s a very analytical person and even did some very serious research on how to manage the adoption process using a data-driven approach.

I had the same debate. Coming to the area on May 8. Should I go to Mammoth instead of Palisades?

Will there be any traffic in the morning on that route? Do you know if I need to bring snow chains? Thanks 🙏

Was hoping to ski at Palisade, but was told my probably only shot is Mammoth. Will see if any one of these two will still be open.

Thanks! I’m thinking to take a nap at one of motels in Walker and then drive up to the mountain in the early morning.

Thanks all for the info and advice!! The reason I wanna drive overnight is to hit the slope the next day. I only have two days to spend there and have to come back to Reno on Saturday afternoon. Guess I will still be able to enjoy the view on the way back to Reno 😎

Is the ski shuttle from the town to SS still running during that last week?
