Another great trip to Mammoth Mountain started Sunday evening 1/11/2026. All week we had wonderful weather and snow conditions. We had a lot of fun on the slope and off as nearly 40 members descended on Mammoth.

Lots of thanks from everyone to Sandy and Patti for all their hard work putting this trip together. It is a lot of work to get the discounted rate at this slope side location, organize a group dinner including transportation, planning the nightly tiddlies, getting people to meet up to coordinate skiing and general herding of the 49er cats. Thanks for such a great job.

As usual while at Mammoth Warren, who considers Mammoth his home mountain, led tours for members most days for all parts of Mammoth. People found these tours around the mountain helpful and really appreciated Warren's contributions.

Several members decided that the day they would drive home they were going to ski at June Mountain. This started with Neil who left on Wednesday, then some more people who left on Thursday also went and some more people who left on Friday did it again. So it was a popular choice to spend half a day at June Mountain this year.

Despite the concerns that snow started late this year, there was a lot of snow in good condition for the trip. The Mammoth Mountain snowfall tracker reported 156 inches at the base. That’s 13 feet! There was what looked like a coyote hanging around, seen by many people. The other guests at the Inn this year seemed to have many more pets. We had a dog join us for tiddlies Sunday night. One of the staff had to take him away as they tried to locate who owned the dog.

It was a great week and we all look forward to more skiing this year both at Mammoth and other places.

Time for a snow dance!
