World Quarters at Mammoth is Just as It Should Be: Big Airs and Bragging Rights
After the US Open one year, I drove from Southern Vermont to New Hampshire’s White Mountains. It was early in the 2000s. Magazines and VHS tapes were how snowboarding was spread.

Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is Buried again after getting another foot of snow
Ah, the change of the seasons. Mammoth locals woke up to a fresh foot of snow (10-12 inches, officially) Sunday morning after a surprise spring storm blew in.

Weekend Sierra Snow, Strong Winds, and Valley Rain
Snow is likely in the Sierra this weekend, and chain controls are possible, especially late Saturday into Sunday morning. A Winter Weather Advisory is posted for the Sierra, from northeast California down through Mono County from 11am Saturday through 8am Sunday because of slick roads, and low visibility. This storm will produce a lot of wind, lowering visibility and leading to power outages. A High Wind Watch is posted for the Truckee Meadows and down through southern Lyon County from Saturday morning through Saturday evening, with wind gusts reaching 60mph in wind prone areas. Wind gusts could top 70mph in the high Sierra this weekend. Wind is driven by changes in temperature. The greater the difference, the stronger the wind typically is. This is called a pressure gradient, and it will be tight over the weekend.
