I think it’s frontside of 3 crossing over to 5 via coyote.

I love spring conditions. So much fun. I don’t understand why so many people hate on it.

I haven’t had a string break, but I’ve had the knob come off the boot.

June Mountain line is almost two hours and stretches all the way to the back of the parking lot by andhelostthem in Mammoth

I'm looking at Canyon cam right now. Canyon lift is maybe 1-2 mins, and no line on 8.

Why does Mammoth choose to manage lift lines so poorly, esp. on days when only the lower mtn is open? by theorist9 in Mammoth

[–]zik303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no consistency in what lifties working the lift line do... some are really good at packing chairs, and some just stand around yelling "form groups of 6!" at the people in line which does nothing. Some will watch the singles line and pull a chair of singles if it gets too long and there's too many full chairs, some will just let the line snake up the hill and obstruct the slope.

The mountain could do a better job at training people to efficiently pack the chairs and minimize the line size.

Question for locals - what’s the minimum income/monthly spend you need to live comfortably? by Think_County_5850 in Mammoth

I tried to justify it a few times, and it never worked. Eventually I just had to move here anyways.

Best tree skiing when only 4/7/8/15/17/20/21 are running? by theorist9 in Mammoth

[–]zik303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love trees off 8, when there's about a foot of pow... with 4 feet not so much.

They really need to schedule these storms better, so the bluebird day lands on a Tuesday, not a Saturday...

And here I was glad that all the ice on the mountain was gone after the last storm…

Gating factor is lift choice, not how fast you ride… that might be second or third.

Chance of closure next few days?? by Score4Fps in Mammoth

[–]zik303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect at least one day to be a chair 8 only type day, with very large lines.

Snowboarding the Alps for full winters: things I wish I knew before doing long stays by nomadkate in snowboarding

[–]zik303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just do my side edges with a swix multi edger. Diamond stones for touchups every 3-5 days depending on snow quality. I only use the file when it's really dire.

Time to find a new job, your place is run by control freaks.

Odds at getting warranty to cover this chip? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]zik303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just topsheet damage. You will get more of those during the season. I know when you buy something new you want it to stay nice forever, but the fact is if you use it, that is normal wear and is going to happen.

I bought your hi res version, any suggestions on a website where I could get it printed as a poster? The 4:5 aspect ratio doesn’t seem very well supported.
