🔥 Being part of this crew comes with perks... like FREE stickers below 👇

Hey ski fam,

❄️ This Is The Moment We Wait For

There’s a buzz in the air that no PSL can touch.

Three weeks from tomorrow, Mammoth opens for the 2024/25 season.

And if you’re anything like me, you’re already organizing ski socks by thickness, sneakily doing wall sits in work clothes, and refreshing snow cams like they’re stock tickers.

This stretch of pre-season anticipation?
It’s magic. It’s madness. It’s Mammoth.

The Pre-Season Glow Is REAL

Let me paint you a picture…

It’s pitch dark. I’m doing single-leg hops in my garage next to my just used lawnmower. My daughter walks in and just stares.
“Training for the big slide again, Mom?”

Always, kid.
