Our Adventures in Mammoth (part 1)

Jon and I have been living in Mammoth for the past couple of months. We've been having a blast and have got so much snow! We've been having so much fun with the visitors that have come up. Here are a few pics and videos from our time here.


The first day we were there, it started snowing like crazy! It was also our 4th anniversary. What a beautiful way to celebrate! We went to Convict Lake restaurant. It was incredible!

The first weekend we were there, Edgar brought some friends up and we enjoyed some serious powder!





During the next week, we had incredible sunshine and beautiful days. Jon and I decided to try and ride every chair on the mountain. It was a fun challenge. Here's a video that we made of our day.



The following weekend, our friends Josh and Heather came up to visit with their dog Tuni. We skiied one day and snowshoed the other. The dogs had a blast together and we enjoyed the great company!











Then the next storm rolled in. Calvin, Gerrit & Kym came up to enjoy some fresh turns.







After the storm, Andy & Russ came up for a bluebird day!



Maverick loves the fresh powder! However, he does NOT love the avalanche bombs that come along with the powder!





Here's another video of all the powder we got that week.



During President's Day weekend, it snowed like crazy again! Ed made his way up here with Jeana and Jake. We had one of the best days in powder just riding chairs 21 and 4.



I don't think I've ever seen this much snow at the top. This sign is over 30 feet tall!



Jon and I have had a great time so far... more to come soon!
