I have not skied that run since my last college race in 1987! We used to finish racing and get in as many runs up there as we could before we had to leave. On good snow days Mammoth is really hard to beat. I live in Salt Lake now and still enjoy skiing the difficult stuff in my late 50's. Thanks for posting and bringing back great memories ...
Looks so fun. Literally some of my top 3 memories are from Chair 23. I've had three knee surgeries and can't really snowboard anymore (I can, but then I can barely walk for a week afterwards). Miss it. That vid brings me back.
@@Burd805 thanks--already have a custom donjoy and wear it when riding. I think those really help with stability, and my ACL actually looks good. I'm told my problem is a torn meniscus and that here's no good surgical repair for my tear. So I kinda just live with it, waiting for medical science to catch up with my injury haha
Amazing skiing. I’m a ski instructor and one thing that I saw that can be better I’d that you are flying your arms everywhere. Try keeping a more quiet upper body as your skiing. Looks like such a sick line though.
Actually this was around 10:30 in the morning, just happened upon the bottom off the lift right as the ops were starting it up with no one in line yet. Lucky timing that day!
Once going up 23 I told the kid sharing the chair it wasn't as steep because of the installation of the lift, they blew part to the top lip off. His response: "Dude, I've lived here for 17 years, this chair has always been here". Yea I felt old.
@@tommyv8312 To install the lift they had to level the very top off, taking away the steepest part at the top. So just to get into the chutes you needed to maked a hairy nuts drop. To get there you had to tuck from from the gondola then hike to the top of the chutes. Now, get off my lawn you whipper snappers!
yo wtf the guy at the exit was friggin wearing a polo shirt and jeans not even gloves wtf his skin isnt even red is he goddamn ice man or is he ice does he melt in the summer
lift line first chair on a powder day hits different. everyone on the chair always cheering you on best feeling
My dad helped build this chair!! One of my favorites of all time!
That's sick! Definitely one of the coolest lifts around!

You need to get yourself one of the Donjoy knee braces! It's a game changer for those with knee injuries.

that looks so fun/scary at the same time! I'll never ever get down this fast in my life lol
It’s pure ecstasy when you’re fully in control. There’s no other feeling like gliding on top of fresh powder.

If you're at a big party how do you tell which one is the Ski Instructor? Don't worry he'll tell you.
I'm not a ski instructor and I completely agree with this assessment.
@@djc7039 LOL same thing in the car racing world.
Nice timing, nice line.
Lol yes...my coaches would always tell me the same thing 😝
Gotta love mammoth,
More snow than anywhere in North America! 10’ dumps on top of 6’ dumps!
Still boot deep……..
Damn I want to try skiing one day! This run looks dope on skis!
I hope you get the opportunity to try it!
How do you stop. I mean you were so fast. I think its really hard to stop in deep snow without falling
@@_p4ris4ch1ll6Turn in the snow, get out of the fall line and use your edge to drag in the snow.
I did both chutes today, they weren't as great as this but was still fun
fellaz in europe you can get untracked still at noon right from the lift
I wished i was there good run thanks
Ah, chair 23. A ski resort all in one lift.... Sigh, I have such good memories....
The people on the lifts must have been like "what the hell"
Not a ski instructor, but the only thing I would recommend is powder baskets
Hahah got them now!
How many seconds passed before all that got tracked up....Mammoth being Mammoth.
I'm so jealous of that powder
Wish I could do that! Looks fun.
I have to try that one day!
Wowww!!❤❤❤❤
I skied that spot in 4’ of fresh snow in 1987. Much deeper than this. But nice to watch.
Damn that sounds awesome!
Me too! Great run!
did they charge you double?
Mammoth hard to beat on a good Pow day
Sheesh I go to mammoth all the time
Good Ol Sierra Cement!
i wanna go there so bad
How did you get there ao early?

Yaaassss
cool
i like this contenu
Nice
that looks so fun was gonan go skieng but got f-in covid
guy was probably hitting above 50mph..fast
And then 10 minutes later it was completely ski’d out lol
Id savor that 1st line by turning more
Well I’d recommend you do that mate!
Great to watch non-plumbers with helmet cams skiing well.
hello there
Sweet poles.
This would be much more challenging on a snowboard
yo wtf the guy at the exit was friggin wearing a polo shirt and jeans not even gloves
wtf his skin isnt even red
is he goddamn ice man or is he ice
does he melt in the summer
It’s Cali brah. Warm days. I’ve skied in a T-shirt many times. However, always wear gloves. Found that out the hard way. lol
Lmao did it, it's easy, especially with powder, But yes it vet steep at begining
Didn’t even make a turn
Your friend took the sweet powder and you went to the windblown garbage, normally you use that for later when you get first chair lol
Nah. I had planned to ski this particular line. The entire face was wind-effected that day.
So much mountain and you go back down the chair
I had planned on skiing this line for a long time
It’s true what they say, California doesnt get real Powder.... just wind crusted crap like these guys skied
You guys were so desperate for attention and validation from the ski lift that you didn’t even stop to take in the view
Dafuq with the view. They went there for the snow not for the view.
Lol that's what the ride up the lift was for
