From Dec 19 to 22, we had a good time in Mammoth
Mountain, thanks to Yvonne for arranging the Winter 1998 TSA Ski Trip.

Flower Arrangement at the Fish Hatchery in Lone Pine,
what a masterpiece of mine!

1-17-1998 Mammoth Mountain, skiing with Charles,
Lunchang, Clara, Chichao, Vincent, Calvin, Candy, and Judy. Also my second
visit to Mammoth.

This edge was where I'd practiced jumping for many
times. The right shows one of the interesting results, in that, my ski
popped out and slipped all the way down the slope around 300 ft. As you
can guess, my level is about to play all-terrain.

Ride the Bogie's Slide at your own risk. You know
what? Kirkwood is always reported the most base snow depth in North America,
to a 300 inch level. Well, I don't think one likes to ski only in the BASE
area. The report is sort of... a hoax. Steep fun is a big plus though.

Be sure to air off against the Headwall. In Squaw
Valley USA, it's full of people high-speed cruising, full of narrow trails,
and full of groom machines destroying snow powder. Much cross traffic makes
setting up area-wide stop signs a necessary. BTW, you can get to peep Lake
Tahoe high on Squaw Peak.

Heavenly offers unlimited fun in upper mountains
and gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe. Basicly it's a typical Lake Tahoe style,
which features long and narrow runs. A nice thing of it is, it's very close
to Reno.

I've been there in Mammoth Mountain for five times.
It's for sure my favorite ski area. It provides woolly powder, challenging
trails, good chairlift arrangement which can virtually take you to any
start point, high altitude that causes mountain sick, and lots of memories
with TSA friends.
