SNOWBOARD (mammoth) 4:30:00 [3]
we had an unbelievable day on the slopes, and in april too! couldn't believe it. what made it so amazing?
1. no wind, absolutely none, w/ temperature just below freezing
2. 14"-20" of fluffy new snow, the dry kind you usually get in UT, not typical for MM
3. no crowd, no lines, which was a miracle in itself
we snowboarded hard right from the start. took off from canyon lodge, up canyon express , then 22, onto 5 (upper and lower dry creek), back down to main lodge, caught gondola to the top, cornice, then 23 for scotty and the chutes between cornice and scotty (forgot their names), continued on to the 14 down the backside. i was bonking 4 hours later, got clumsy, and fell for no reason while we snowboarded through some trees to get back to main lodge for lunch. so glad we made it up here for the weekend.

HIKE (mammoth - hot springs) 1:00:00 [3] 2.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
after lunch, we headed off to Hot Creek for a little hike and to check out if it was still closed off to swimming (and it was). had so much fun goofing off with G.
