Heading out to mammoth for the first time for a few days end of the week, figured I would ask if anyone had tips of any areas to check out while I'm there (without giving away secret stashes of course).
Expert skiier looking for fun terrain/lifts. Home mountains are the cottonwoods resorts. Generally hit steep bowls, chutes, glades, general freeride terrain. Will have Avvy gear (if needed) but doesn't seem to be required anywhere inbounds. From what I have gathered chair 23 looks like it has some super cool access, as well as the dragons back area. Any other areas/lifts to make sure to get to or tips for the town?
