Hey Ski Fam,

First off…

I owe you an apology. ❤️

We missed last week’s newsletter due to some personal reasons on my end.

Thank you for sticking with me.

And honestly…

Coming back this week feels fitting.

Because spring skiing always sneaks up emotionally this time of year.

You think the season is winding down…

Then Mammoth drops another perfect bluebird day and suddenly nobody wants winter to end. 😂

👉 Not even close.

☀️ MAMMOTH RIGHT NOW

At Mammoth Mountain this morning:

🌞 Bluebird skies

🎿 73 trails open

🚡 7 lifts spinning

🧈 Classic spring corn conditions

🏔️ Coverage still holding strong for mid-May

👉 Honestly absurd this late in the season.

Typical spring conditions mean firmer morning groomers before softening into buttery corn snow by late morning.

That’s basically the recipe for a perfect spring ski day. 🎿☀️

🎿 WHAT’S OPEN (THE GOOD STUFF)

You’ve still got legit terrain still spinning:

Cruisers:

Broadway • Stump Alley • Mambo • St. Anton

Steeps:

Cornice Bowl • Climax • Wipeout Chutes

Fun zones:

Forest Trail • Main Park

👉 This is not “leftover skiing.”

This is still REAL skiing. 😂

🧠 HOW TO WIN THE DAY

⏰ Don’t rush first chair

🎯 Ski 10AM–1PM

🌞 Follow the sunshine

💧 Drink more water than you think

❌ Don’t overdress

That’s the move.

Spring skiing rewards smooth skiing, not angry skiing. 😎

🚨 MAMMOTH IS DROPPING SOME WILD SPRING DEALS

Honestly…

It feels like Mammoth looked at everyone mentally switching to beach season and said:

🎿 The “3-Up” Deal

❄️ Three days

❄️ No blackout dates

❄️ No restrictions

❄️ $99/day

Use all 3 yourself…

OR split them with friends for one last spring mission. 🚗☀️

That flexibility is HUGE for SoCal skiers trying to sneak in bonus days before summer fully takes over.

👉 Grab The 3-Up Pass Before Spring Disappears

🎟️ The “Switch Ticket”

If you already have a 25/26 pass from another resort:

👉 Adult tickets = $79

👉 Kids tickets = FREE 👀

That’s honestly one of the sneakiest good deals I’ve seen all spring.

Especially for families.

🎿🚵⛳ ONLY IN CALIFORNIA…

You can now:

❄️ Ski in the morning

🚵 Bike in the afternoon

⛳ Golf after 3PM

All in the SAME DAY. 😂

And yes…

This is a real thing at Mammoth right now.

Honestly, this might be the most California mountain activity ever created.

And weirdly?

THIS is why spring skiing feels so special.

Everything gets looser.

Nobody cares about vertical anymore.

Nobody’s flexing powder stats.

It turns into:

• soft turns

• parking lot tacos 🌮

• sun hoodies

• tailgate beers

• friends hanging around way too long after skiing ends ❤️

That’s the stuff we actually remember.

🧠 FINAL THOUGHT

Every May, skiers do something weird.

We pretend we’re ready for winter to end.

Then:

• a Mammoth webcam pops up

• a ski playlist comes on

• you find an old lift ticket in your jacket pocket

…and suddenly you miss all of it. ❤️

Not just the skiing.

The feeling.

That’s why spring skiing matters.

It reminds us skiing was never only about snow.

It was always about:

• the people

• the road trips

• the mountain mornings

• the laughs on chairlifts

• and those perfect turns that reset your brain for a little while 🎿

“Ski seasons end. Mountain people don’t.”
