Lil stressful weekend( I’m not sure if the van issues or sea lions had me more worried haha) but it all worked out in the end. Thanks everybody for watching and the continued support!
What- I saw you this weekend! Haha I did not expect you to be there too! That lifty with the checkered sweater was the coolest haha he kept saying my jacket was next level cool 😂
Dang I won’t make it next weekend! Probably just surf until more snow comes. Might try big bear mid week. I’ve done scenic loop a couple times. Don’t they close it later in the winter though after some heavy storms? Where do you camp if it’s closed?
@Nickclogan they don't plow it during the night. You camp in the same spots you do in the summer but the embankment keeps getting bigger and bigger through the winter.🤣
I camped on the scenic route on Sunday night around 7-8pm, and this accord saw me and tried to drive off the road near me to camp. I was surprised he made it to where I was at but couldn't go further up the road with all that ❄️ so he tried backing up and got stuck. He tried for hours shoveling himself out. He was gone by the time I got up. 🤣
ps. I went to that hot springs last year during the insane storms. I could barely find my way back to the car since the bridge was fully covered in snow. A couple showed up at like 8pm when it was pitch black and started heading over. I always wondered if they were able to find their way out, or had to sleep in the hot springs for warmth lol
Bad 🛞 bearing symptom is a pull to the side of the bad bearing. $500 to replace it. That's steep! Did you get to the early ups for Ikon members on Sunday morning?
Quick trip but it was really nice! Oh yea it was pretty thin up there. Just had to hit it for the first time in the season to get the views but it’ll be a lot more fun after a couple storms
@@Nickclogan awesome views, u might notice when u look down that Mammoth is the rim of a super volcano, Wild Willies is in the mouth of the volcano, and the other mountains on the side are the other side of the same volcano! A local pointed it out to me once and once u see u can't unsee it, ha ha
Haha yea idk what’s up with that. In part I think it’s not a firm mount so my binding slides forward, and also probably a tiny bit of GoPro distortion. I went through a thorough setup and got it centered. The next day I rode I screwed everything down tight and first run my binding slid all the way forward to the front of the slots. The next video I’ll post I show that I move them even further back and lock it down a couple of times and it seemed to hold.

Ah no way! You gotta say what’s up next time and we’ll take a lap!
@@Nickclogan Bet! I wasn’t sure it was you but next time ima say what’s up if I see you 😎
Hope it was an epic weekend! I should be going up next thursday!
It was awesome! Wish I could spend longer up there, nice to see such a good base for the season.
Dope you made it! Parking got busy... but crowds weren't bad at all...... catch you next weekend if you go up!

Geez man that sounds intense. I almost froze on the walk over there and it was a warm 30 degrees haha
I wondered how all the vans up there barely had any ❄️ on them and my truck had like 2ft. 😅. I heard most of them go down there.
@@Gary-ee3kq sounds like you got there at the right time. I was late to the show. How was the mountain with the fresh snow?
@Nickclogan @Nickclogan ❄️ turned to rain Monday so the pow was wetter than I was expecting. Tuesday was great. Wednesday they opened up all bowls.

No I missed it unfortunately!
bro you gotta try nik n willies pastrami sandwich when ur out there in mammoth!!
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll try to check it out next time. I love a good pastrami sandwich, especially after boarding I bet it hits!
Nice little Mammoth routine ... The summit sounded icy?!!

@ you know now that you say that I can totally picture it, that’s super cool
@@Nickclogan isn't it just ?!
Weird, but it does look like you're riding your board backwards with the nose short and tail long.
