					<description><![CDATA[There are days when you show up to the mountain and everything syncs up for you:  front row parking, no lines, no one hitting the features in front of you and just jamming along.  As much as today seemed like that with the front row parking and no one on the mountain, it was deceiving for good reason.  The park was empty and we had it to ourselves but it was empty because the snow was sooo sticky and slow with the new heavy snow we got that you couldn&#8217;t make a feature (let alone a jump) unless you hauled and skipped past 3 in front of it. After a couple runs through Forest Trail and Main Park realizing that riding was not going to be anything outstanding meant the perfect time to hit a new feature that was easy to hit.  The concrete feature has been buried in Main Park, totally doable for barely ollie&#8217;ing onto and I just wanted to try it since I hadn&#8217;t yet. Of course the skier tried to haul it to the jump line but found out that even if you tucked today, you weren&#8217;t making it over the lip with any speed.

					<description><![CDATA[Finally the sun came out in Mammoth!  I was out on the mountain early to help with lift shadowing so got a couple runs in before I headed to chair #2 for the morning.  The snow was still bulletproof at 8:30am and only the racers were out enjoying the conditions.  I took a lap through Forest where everything was rock hard and not forgiving but you had the park to yourself. Flow was kind enough to drop off boards for me to review this month so I took out the Flow Verve 155 for the day.  It&#8217;s seen some hard to soft conditions and was able to take it through the park a bunch. When my shadow shift ended, I met up with the skier for a couple laps through the softened up park and got this shot of him on the C rail.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the springtime, year round employees get to shadow other departments to help out with the limited operations. I really like shadowing lifts because it gets me outside with ride breaks and a chance to see friends on the mountain.  We had winter conditions the past couple days but today the sun came out for my liftie experience (yeah was totally hoping for sunshine and not snow).  I ended up helping out at Chair 6, the park chair, over lunchtime. When my shift came to an end, I got to take a couple laps with Michelle Shea whose been crashing at my house this month plus meet and ride with Diana, Shred Betties TM.  It was a fun couple laps cruising through Forest Trail.  The best part of the day was seeing all the new features in Forest Trail, it&#8217;s a dream right now and also a lot of goals to conquer.  I ended up taking out the lotus for the day and took it through some jumps, bonks, flat boxes and barrels. We ended up running into the Vans crew who were lapping and testing boots (I&#8217;ve been testing out my 11-12 Vans Veil&#8217;s all winter with almost 100 [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Finally it&#8217;s spring slushy riding.  Winter&#8217;s been a blast but I wondered when the temps would get warm and the snow would turn into crazy slushfest on the mountain.  It&#8217;s May but finally it&#8217;s arrived!  Today I headed out for lunch laps with the girls, we&#8217;d just lap chair 6 and work on our park riding. It&#8217;s been fun to see myself improve this year from not jumping to jumping and feeling more comfortable.  Still gotta work on grabs but we&#8217;ll get there eventually! We mixed between park and pipe.  Now that the 22 foot pipe is softer, it&#8217;s more fun and not as scary.  Here&#8217;s Ashley getting some air at the bottom of the pipe.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the many perks of my job with Mammoth is being one of the voices behind Mammoth&#8217;s social media.  I started to notice that people really wanted to know about conditions on Facebook so I grabbed the camera, geared up and took the gondola with my co-worker Dan to the top of the mountain.  I captured photos of a mix of terrain and ended up posting them on Mammoth facebook so everyone could see that while it&#8217;s May in Mammoth, the mountain has amazing spring conditions for riding on.  It&#8217;s still white! Dan at the top of the gondola [singlepic id=11577 w=600 h=900 float=] Dan handles PR for the mountain and also skis it quite nicely [singlepic id=11578 w=500 h=334 float=] The latest board to try out which is perfect for the spring park laps is next year&#8217;s Arbor Draft.  It&#8217;s been getting in quite the park lap time.

					<description><![CDATA[Love spring riding, it&#8217;s so nice out everyday and too hard to resist staying inside for lunch breaks.  I met up with the skier to lap chair #6 for a couple of runs before shadowing at chair #6 to help out scanning tickets.  It was a quick afternoon but good to be out in the sun for a couple hours.

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s officially May and Mammoth is nowhere close to closing up on the mountain.  But Spring conditions have finally arrived, sunny skies with minimal winds and hardpacked snow in the morning to slushy afternoon fun fests.  Today was a blast on the mountain, so much fun that I took minimal pictures and just enjoyed riding for riding&#8217;s sake. We mostly lapped Forest Trail and Main Park.  On my runs through Forest Trail I hit most of the jumps, the corrugated tube, the up box and the bonk feature.  I was riding the 2012 Arbor Draft for the day. Usually when I lap Main Park it&#8217;s to get footage of the skier hitting the jumps and rails.  Today some of the aussies stepped it up and hit the Main Park jumps so we got some shots of them. Nosey on the step over jump in Main Park [singlepic id=11519 w=500 h=334 float=] While working at Windells last summer I had many roommates and housemates but one of the first people I met at camp was pro skier Josh Bishop.  He&#8217;s been in town with the Armada team this week and it was rad to see him lapping park.  Always fun to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Almost 6 months ago, I arrived in Mammoth Lakes to work for the mountain.  Its been a really great learning experience and most of all, I learn from the people I work with everyday.  Today a couple of us from marketing like Dan, myself, Katy and Steve headed out onto the slopes with Bill Byrne from BBPR who was in town.  Bill does great blog writeups on malakye.com about action sports PR. There&#8217;s no doubt that the mountain is riding nicely, it was sunny with some winds but overall beautiful day and soft snow on the groomers.  We headed over to Art Park, Canyon mini park and boardercross for some turns. I got to try out the new NXT tube with abstract art on it.  Pretty rad design and good to stay covered up for the sunny days now. Dan, Katy and myself on the lift [singlepic id=11040 w=500 h=281 float=] Bill Byrne in the mini pipe [singlepic id=11042 w=500 h=281 float=] Steve is the creative director at Mammoth but also does board testing for Outside Magazine, he was out riding the 2012 Ride Highlife and testing it out. [singlepic id=11043 w=500 h=281 float=] Definitely a great way to end [&#8230;]]]></description>
