Guess I'll need to add Mammoth to my must ski list.

Overall, it is a great place to ski. The key is to avoid the weekends
and the crowds.

If one wants to re-create one of the "Road Warrior" chase scenes, drive
North on US 395 on Friday Night, it is pretty crazy. *It is the "Road

That's why I try to go the other way.

Of course, at some point in the Friday night return trip you will meet
the crest of the uphill wave, which used to be quite thrilling in some
of the two-lane stretches.
