It doesn’t feel like July on the mountain but here it is, the final countdown to closing day at Mammoth. In just a matter of days, all the snow will be a waste and the mountain will close with top to bottom riding. It’s sad but it’s also appreciated. It’s been a long winter and many of us are looking forward to summer. I could go either way, I’m looking forward to summer but also bummed the season is ending.
I geared up for laps before the crazy weekend began. 4th of July here is predicted to be madness and I work most of the weekend so today’s ride break was much needed. Since I didn’t wear sunscreen, I opted to wear the airhole mask for the shred break.
My last demo board of the season, the Flow Drifter got a couple days on it. The best part about this board is I rode the 11-12 Drifter at the SIA on snow in Winter Park but the board isn’t the same that I rode then. It needed fixing and was not production when I rode it, so I did not review it until it was production worthy and fixed.
