looks like 4-5' wind load.
UFOs, cannon fire and 184-mph winds: Life gets weird atop this California volcano
Vincent Valencia lives alone at the summit of Mammoth Mountain — a frozen world that is lashed regularly by California's ugliest weather.
damn! that area looks steep as hell. is that lift accessed or do you need to hike to it?
The lift can be seen in the pic, chair 23
duh! not sure how i missed that. lol.
Still had a think crust near the top. Hope your friend was careful and aware!
If you want to see some sick lines at Mammoth, follow this guy Bernie Rosow, one of the locals.
I ducked a rope as a kid when I first started boarding after the guy in front of me lost a ski on the chair. It was a real steep section about 200 yards long maybe 35 yards wide. First turn after ducking the rope I learned how to float on top of a slide. Never found the ski but watched lots of other stuff tumble down the slide. One of my less than stellar decisions I have made while boarding.Safety third.....
Really good skiers that ski there daily.
hahaha! geography is not my strong suit either!!!!! lol.
