TRUCKEE VS MAMMOTH WINTER TOURING OPS

[jackplans]

So I’m looking into spending the winter in Truckee or Mammoth to ski. Mostly interested in touring terrain in the winter through spring (end of May).

I know that the 395 corridor has epic spring ski mountaineering which is really enticing to me, but I’m curious how Truckee and Mammoth compare in the winter. I’ll have an Ikon pass, but I’m not banking on that happening in any reasonable way. I know Alpine Meadows has an open gate policy that Mammoth mountain does not. But Mammoth is probably going to be a hair less crowded this winter.

How are the touring ops out of both places in the winter? Can I easily dawn patrol out of either of them?

Yes! Touring ops are great out of both places in the winter! You can easily dawn patrol out of either of them.

You should ALWAYS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, trust your life to a random, anonymous person on the internet that uses lots of CAPITAL LETTERS and has at best a little bit of an idea as to what you are talking about. ESPECIALLY if it’s completely unclear as to why you would post this question about ski areas in California on a blog based in West Seattle, Washington. I think your compass is broken – start with that.

I am afraid this is an example of a new class of spammer, who first posts something seemingly legitimate, and linkless, in hopes the system will recognize them as legitimate, then follows it up with something truly spammy. We’ll take steps to prevent that (and if for some reason you are the skiing post’er and you’re a bonafide West Seattleite, email us and we can reinstate you) – TR
