    Whiskey Creek used to rule! Although I haven't been there in years.
    The duck was awesome back then.
    We ate at the Bishop Whiskey Creek a couple of years ago (not sure if they are related) for Thanksgiving dinner. It was fantastic!

    The 2.5 is a F, but some people say the F stands for Freeride and the R stands for Race. Don't really know, I always use the F up front and the R in the rear.

    It'll be saved for you.

    Not sure if you've ever ridden up at Mammoth before, but I'd go for as wide a tire as you can fit in your frame/fork. The kitty litter up there is pretty loose and deep. Even after the rains. I'd take the 2.7 if you can fit it in. Just my $0.02.

    The one at the Spectrum?
    Maybe I should jump up to headquarters and see if they've got any after work. If they do i'll grab a few.

    You know with all of us up there we could have fun in the parking garage!

    It'll be a great group, regardless... we'll find something to do.

    Bring quarters for the dryer cause we may need to dry out our bike clothes :D

    I was up there labor day and there were some absolutely INSANE deals on 2007 demo ski/snowboard equipment. We're talking $250 for top of the line stuff with bindings already mounted. Most of it was in pretty good shape too. Bases might be a little thin though from repeated stone grinding thoughout the season though. BUt 250 bucks? why the hell not?

    Last Chance to Ride Mammoth

    [FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A dusting of snow greets riders this morning on Mammoth Mountain. A cold storm moved into the area yesterday leaving Mammoth Mountain with a fresh coat of white. A mixture of rain and light snowfall is forecasted for the next few days. Cooler temperatures combined with the moisture will put the trails in great shape, firm and fast![/FONT]

    [FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You guys are going to have so much fun! It will be great!!!!![/FONT]

    Looks like you all are going to have a blast! You're gonna get the best of both worlds, snow early am's and DH trails the rest of the day.

    Nothing like drinking a few brews after spending the day on the mtn and to leave to bar and your nose gets cold. :beer:

    Be safe, travel well and we can't wait for the RR: when you get home.

    I've got family obligations so I'm out, but even with the cold I wish I was going. You guys/gals are going to have a blast and remember "What happens in Mammoth, doesn't stay in Mammoth but get's published on STR".
