I went down and skied Mammoth on the last day of February to get away from the heavy snow of Tahoe. We ended up waiting in line for 1st gondola for over 2 hours. But when it popped, it was worth it! They also got more snow than we did in Tahoe and 30 inches of fresh didn't hurt anything.
The people screaming in the end are screaming because the USofA had just tied the Gold Medal Hockey Game with only 24 seconds left! A killer game. U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!!!
