Well the mammoth trip has been interesting. Had a bit of a rough start to the trip yesterday. Dorothy had a bad morning yesterday and then I was a little late getting the truck packed and out the door to her house to load up. I had to stay at the ranch Friday night, load all my stuff up and go home, unload and reload the truck all early yesterday morning. She was a bit harsh with me yesterday but I had to be a little more frank with her and be like “no don’t treat me that way”. About two hours into the drive nearing the highway 395/58 intersection, which we call 4 corners, I realized I had left my season pass in my uniform jacket for work after working extra days teaching on the slopes this week. That didn’t help things either but at that point there wasn’t turning back to get my pass so I just said to heck with it make the drive and I’ll figure it out later. Thankfully truck ran smooth all the way with no issues. Doing decently on fuel economy.
Got into town and checked into our condo about 3:30 and roads were clear which was good after all the snow they’ve been getting. It’s crazy how much snow is up here right now.
Mammoth resort’s HR printed me a new pass this morning with no fuss so thankfully I was able to get out on the snow and not have to pay $240 a day for lift tickets.
Had fun riding. A little icy here and there but mostly good snow. Windy, cold, and been snowing off and on all day. But the next two days should be pretty good riding. Unfortunately this afternoon one of the guys slipped and fell on the ice leaving canyon lodge at the resort about 4pm this afternoon. We got him to the condo and then decided after dinner with how much pain I he was in and possible concussion that we needed to take him to the ER to get checked out. So I’m getting familiar with the first time with mammoth’s hospital. Trucks chillin out in the working lot while I wait in the lobby. I could head back to the condo but the other older gent on the trip that’s good friends with Dorothy and tony( who fell and got hurt) is less stressed out knowing I’m just hanging out in the waiting area while he’s back with Tony. First pic is me with the black and red plaid patterned helmet cover. And then our friend M-I-C-K(why can’t I type that normally what’s offensive anbout his name?! WTF!!!!)
and his girlfriend Arielle. They’re about my age ish and super fun peeps to be friend with, met through Dorothy.
