Mammoth Opening Weekend

November 17th, 2009

This past weekend was Mammoth Mountains true opening weekend. We all know that they had a surprise opening back in October, but this was the opening weekend that was locked down in the schedule months ago. The night we got up there it had snowed a couple inches, so things were looking good. The top of the mountain was open, so you could take full top to bottom runs. Throughout the runs there was all types of step ups, hips, rock bonks, pole taps, then a mini park down forest trail with jibs and a mini double line of jumps. On saturday night there was one of the most inspiring art shows I have ever been to called “I am Snowboarding”. This was a tribute art show to our fallen friend Jeffy Anderson, who pasted away many years ago, but has never and will never be forgotten. The energy and passion that each piece put out was incredible. Billy Anderson and his mother Jane opened up the show by speaking about Jeffy, and soon after the tears were wiped away everyone enjoyed some wine, all the amazing art, and just the fact that everyone was celebrating Jeffy. All in all it was an amazing weekend filled with the cries of joy and laughter. A great kickoff to the season. I want to thank everyone who was a part of the “I am Snowboarding” show and Mammoth for a memorable weekend.
