It is a great mountain for terrain, and acreage. It also has high
winds, Sierra snow quality, (Marine influence storms) and a huge amount
of skiers from Southern California. I think Tokyo is less crowded on a
workday than Mammoth is on Presidents Day Weekend. Never ever go on
weekends.
The longest lift line that I have ever been in by far was at Canyon
Lodge after Lunch, a mistake I won't make again.
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
Warrior" and a night, so it was double the fright.
I wouldn't hesitate in going back... Hopefully, I will be there this
season.
That's why I try to go the other way.
Uphill?
