RE: My California - Mammoth Mountain

in #travel6 years ago

Awesome @derekrichardson

The photos are great, the resort looks amazing and the snow quality looks fabulous. That is a fair old height up there to so I guess you are guaranteed a full season, unlike us in Romania.

The rolled car is a tad scary though. I hope she was ok.

Nice job, Gaz.

Thanks Gaz! Mammoth is really awesome. They can get a ton of snow. I've seen the whole town just buried. Some years they are still skiing into July!! That whole drive back through that storm was a bit intense. Luckily that lady didn't seem to have any major injuries. There was also a big rig truck and 2 other vehicles that had slid off the highway and were stuck out in the snow. At least they stayed on there wheels though.

Wow. That kind of traffic situation is a little alien to me growing up in the UK. I currently live in Romania and their weather situations are more set up for it. In the UK everything just shuts down after a bit of snow. Your situation seems pretty extreme though.

The resort looks amazing and 3000 odd meters is impressive. No wonder you can ski in July.
