From may 22-31 mammoth is going to have a katal air bag landing pad! It is basically a big air bag, but the idea is that you can land your tricks because it is a slanted air bag as opposed to being a flat one that you just land on. So come check it out along with the other new spring park edition like the new 22′ spring pipe that is just getting finished! The end of may is going to be fun with theses new additions to the park! Don’t forget we are going to open untill the 4th of july as well!

We are in the middle of yet another spring pow day this storms total is already well over a foot and it is still snowing! Mammoth is close to breaking 500″ inches for the season and is expecting to stay open untill July 4th! Our crew has been taking full advantage of these storms gettin some more time in the back country and on the mountain filming pow. Weather looks to turn a bit more spring like later this week so this could be the last of it. Here are some pics from the last week.

It’s april 5th and we just got dumped on, getting 2 feet of super nice light fresh pow! You wouldn’t even think it’s April, riding the pow today it was so good and light! Mammoth mountain was amazing today with almost no lift lines fresh all day. After the mountain closed me Eric Jackson, jack Mitrani, and Shayne Pospisill, decided to go snowmobile to check some spots, and what a good idea that was! So fun and good! Here are a few pics.
This last weekend mammoth was host to the roxy jam! It is an all girls event where the top women riders compete in slopestyle and halfpipe. This year was a bit different from the following years because the it was bigger, and by that I mean larger features. The slopestyle course had bigger jumps than the previous years with jumps as big as 65ft and more challenging jibs. The half pipe was held in a 22ft pipe instead of a 18ft pipe as well. We had perfect weather and the event was followed up by a free concert with N.A.S.A. and the Bravery in the village. All in all the event was a great, with progressive riding and good times!
Slopestyle Results:
1. Jamie Anderson
2. Janna-Meyen Weatherby
3. Jenny Jones
Superpipe Results:
1. Kelly Clark
2. Rana Okada
3. Elena Hight
The Swatch TTR World Tour was also decided over the weekend. And although relative new-comer Enni Rukajärv placed ninth in the Slopestyle event, she still had enough points to claim the women’s title and cool $50,000. Swiss miss Sina Candrian finished second this year and took $25,000. Sarka Pancochova ended up sneaking into the top three with her fifth place finish at the Chicken Jam and she’s now $15,000 richer.
This last week has been supernice weather, temps in the 40s and 50s with total bluebird sky. It certainly feels like spring is here! All the parks are in perfect condition for shredding as well as all the slopes. The roxy chicken jam is coming up, which is an all girls pipe competetion and slopestyle comp. There will also be live performances in the village by musical guests the bravery and N.A.S.A. So if your on spring break come and have some fun, snowboard, and see some music!
Every tuesday at June mountain is “Taco Tuesdays” at the pipe. They have $3 tacos and beers, along with snowmobile rides up the pipe so you don’t even have to hike it! It’s always a good vibe with good people, so if you find your self up here on Tuesday head on over to June for “taco tuesday’s”!!!
