Mammoth Lakes Basin Ski

I toured out of the Mammoth Lakes Basin today. Headed up to Emerald Lake and then higher into a nice sheltered tree zone.

Emerald Lake with Mammoth Mountain behind.

The Ship's Prow area. Filling in.

Hammill Chute looks good to go coverage wise.

Looking back from near my high point.

Nice views.

Very tempting, but flying solo so I passed.

The skiing in the trees was good where neither the sun nor the wind had stricken it.

The snow was just inconsistent enough to keep me from opening it up, but was still better than I expected. Soft & fast for the most part.

Made it down to Lake Mary Road just in time to catch the start of this High School XC race. Cool!

Still real thin and icy/mornings slushy/afternoons below 9000'.
