mammoth trip


For anyone who is interested in our lodging at Mammoth...we stayed at the Rodeway Inn which is kinda rundown at best. It was decent and clean but lacking in several things. Like a working TV in the bedroom which Hector converted over to the PS2 playing area. No shelves in the medicine cabinet, a broken shower rail and it goes on. But it was very convenient to stores, restaurants and shuttle.
The weather in December can be unpredictable, after all it is winter. The last time Hector and I were in Mammoth in December (1996), we got in a big fight, had our snowboards stolen and got stuck in a blizzard for 8 hours in his old Honda. But that's another story.
This trip was awesome...the weather couldn't be better. The day temps averaged in the 40's with gorgeous blue skies and plenty of snow from the previous week. Tyler had a slow start on the mountain but he came around quickly, skiing wherever we took him. Joshua is still in ski school in the fenced off area since he doesn't stop unless someone tells him. They won't take him on the chairlift until he stops on his own. But he has lots of fun anyway.
Pictures to follow...
