Mammoth 2008

SNOW and lots of it!

The Mammoth 2008 trip took place during the biggest storms to hit the Sierra's in 50 years. The group cautiously approached the Sierra's with hopes to slip in between these monstrous storms and catch the road when it opened. It worked!!!! The road opened in time and we snuck in 30 minutes before the next storm hit.

This was a group of die-hard riders and skiers, leaving for the montain at 8:00 and closing the lifts down every day. The students pushed their limits and 2/3 of the group was successfully taking double black diamonds by the end of the week. This was by far our most advanced group in three years. The beginners and intermediates advanced to skiing the majority of the lower half of the mountain. All riders and skiers participated in the great race across the mountain and back, with pictures taken at all lodges and the Panoroma station. It was a close race with the winning team finishing within seconds of the second place team!

The group bonded well both on the mountain and during our evening activities. Several have already reserved their spot for next year.
