🎿 February’s Ski Fire Is Officially Lit 🔥

Hey Ski Fam,

Let’s not overthink it.

Your legs are ready.
Your skis are waxed.
And February? It's coming in hot (well, cold 🧊).

Even with a slow start to the season, February is shaping up to be one of our best shots yet for real turns, real snow, and real fun.

🎯 FEBRUARY GAMEPLAN: SKI SMART, RIDE STRONG

We’ve got:

✔️ Cold air
✔️ One three-day weekend
✔️ A couple promising storm windows
✔️ And a fresh stretch of bluebird days for max laps

Here’s your insider guide ⬇️

🏔️ Mammoth Mountain

🟦 Feb 6–8 (Fri–Sun): Midwinter Cruising Weekend
It’s the calm before the holiday storm — and the perfect weekend for focused laps and sunlit turns.
Forecast is dry, skies are mostly sunny, and the snow is packed and carvable.
🌡️ Temps in the upper 30s = ideal for groomer glory.
👉 Pro tip: Hit mid-mountain early, then cruise the ridge line while everyone else is still parking.

🟦 Weekend Après Party – Feb 7 & 8 @ 2:30–5 PM
DJ spinning from an elevated gondola car on the Canyon Lodge Sundeck.
Come for the sunshine, stay for the tunes, ski boots optional.
🎧 Vibes are high every Friday and Saturday — this one’s a classic.

🟦 Woolly’s Dance Party – Feb 8 @ 3:45 PM
Join Woolly and friends in The Village Plaza for music, high-fives, and family-friendly dancing.
Kids love it. Grown-ups end up grooving too.

🟦 Looking Ahead to Presidents’ Day Weekend
No official holiday events listed yet, but it’s always Mammoth’s busiest stretch.
Stay tuned and book early — lift lines and lodging will fill fast.

🐻 Big Bear is Bringing It

🟦 Feb 7 – Bear Bowl IX
Win a season pass, eat nachos, and maybe get on the jumbotron:>

🟦 Feb 9 – Super Sunday at Method’s Sports Bar
Because skiing + wings + football is a sacred combo.

🌨️ Snow Watch: February Forecast

📍 Mammoth:
🟢 Mid-mountain base: ~61" and holding strong

📍 Big Bear / Summit: Spring-like vibes, cold mornings + softening snow
📍 Mountain High: Limited terrain — check webcams before you roll

🧰 Sasha’s Tips for a February to Remember

✔ Pack for ALL temps
Sun at base, chill at summit. Don't let the weather fake you out.

✔ Use this weekend (Feb 6–8) to ski smart
Low crowds, blue skies, and room to work on your turns. Bonus: lodge seating without a fight.

✔ RESVIN Boot Bag = sanity saver
I never travel without it and it doubles as an all-year storage bag. Waterproof, ventilated, and delivers tomorrow if you order today.
🎒 Grab it here and thank me later.

✔ Stop in Bishop on the drive up
Schat’s Bakery, Mahogany Smoked Meats, and coffee that’ll keep your foot on the gas. Skip the gas station snacks—upgrade your ritual.

✔ Après matters
DJ parties at Canyon Lodge run every Friday & Saturday 2–5 PM. Bring the vibes, not the ski boots.

✔ Leave earlier than you think
Presidents' Day weekend is creeping up. Beat the crush or risk the parking lot blues.

💡 Big Lesson?

Snow doesn’t make the season—you do.

February’s the moment. Show up, tune in, ski out.

Repeat after me:
⛷️ “Ride the cold. Skip the crowd. Chase the good snow.”
