Mammoth got wailed. Multiple storms stacked up and dumped—nuked, puked! Estimates range between 4 and 5 feet of fresh snow fell in the last week. And today was just one of those days. The rare, powdery, bluesky kind of day that just makes your winter—a random magic Wednesday in February. Of course it’s rare for conditions line up like this: Many feet of fresh, dry powder dumps down on the Sierras for a couple days, then, the winds die to nothing, the clouds break and the morning dawns bluebird blue.
It was such a day here at Mammoth Mountain, California. Golden, righteous—I could ramble on about the overhead powder plumes and waist deep trees, but if you weren’t there, it doesn’t quite matter. Does it? Here’s a few pics and here’s to February—a great time for riding some powder with your pals. Mammoth is prime right now. Check for yourself, right here.
ON THE COVER:Luca Debari and Marie-France Roy were out on the Conquihalla Pass in BC filming for The Shred Remains. Filmer Gary Pendygrasse's bro took them to this misty spot. The crew scoped out this "golf ball" feature and built it up, but then weather moved in. They came back a few days later with a fresh dumping of snow on it. Features like this with a landing are surprisingly hard to find. This was Debari's first hit of the day and Senior Photog Ashley Barker's first shot of the day. MORE INSIDE THIS ISSUE >>
