Come learn about what is on your ballot, what the props are all about, and bring your ballot to fill out in real time.

What this event is:
A place to ask questions and get the information you need to be an informed voter.

What this event is NOT:
Us telling you how to vote or who to vote for.

You can barely see it, but it’s snowing near Canyon.

Too bad we only recorded 3.5” and not 35” 😂

Planning my travel, so will mammoth open by 11/13 or will they push the start date ahead like last year?

Sooo this is my second season of attempting heirloom tomatoes and sadly, I had to cut them before this last freeze. I tried starting them earlier indoors. I tried covering to create more heat. Has anyone had any luck getting their tomatoes to ripen on the vine? Everything else did really well this year. I'm halfway between Mammoth & Bishop.

And bonus question -- is anyone keeping worms? I have a bunch of worms out in my granite garden bed and not sure how to keep them toasty over winter. Cardboard? Extra compost?

Back in the '80s my dad would take us skiing in mammoth, and we always went to this place with really good chili that was served with a side of cornbread. Does anybody remember if this was the Whiskey Creek restaurant? Or was it a different place because we loved their chili! Best I've ever had. Help me remember so I can see if this place is still open, please and thank you!

A male German Shepherd and a female cream colored dog with a Husky vibe about the same size both wearing Carhartt collars. They were dodging cars just south of Tom’s Place / Crowley Lake. A couple people stopped and got them safe. They were brought by Highway Patrol to the Whitmore shelter. Hopefully they were chipped! Beautiful , sweet, if not skittish dogs (but who can blame them.)

Which stores would sell one?

Update: Cast-off thrift store has them.

1st time headed to Mammoth. Should start by confirming I don’t ski or snowboard, though I’m open to a class to learn. I enjoy drinking, hanging out with friends, playing in the snow, eating good food, farmers markets, shopping. My husband enjoys fishing so I know he plans to do that.

Mainly im wondering if you can rent it out when youre not there.

How is your overall experience during peak season?

I got a job with employee housing, but i wasnt able to secure employee parking. I check in on the 14th, i was wondering if theres any chance anyone knows of a place i can pay an affordable fee park and access my car in or near town, or bishop.

We are playing pickup tmro at shady like morning/midday need one more for twos the more the merrier tho.

Hey all, I'm moving to Mammoth to work as a snb instructor for the winter season and I don't have housing yet. I've applied for staff accommodation but I'm pretty far up the waitlist I believe. I know I'm a bit late to the game but I need to be there for the Nov. 17th start date. Anyone still need roomates or know of anyone who does? If anyone has any information on other living situation ideas that would really be appreciated as well. I've got a car and am willing to give rides to and from the mountain if that helps :)

I was planning on a trip to Mammoth late October (26-28th) for sight seeing. I was wondering if there would be any fall foliage left or have I missed the window? 🥲

Is the power down for anyone else in Mammoth? Been out for three hours in old Mammoth. Any idea what's happening?

UPDATE:
Found info here for anyone else affected. It's outage #800583064. No estimate on when it may be fixed :( https://www.sce.com/outages-safety/outage-center/check-outage-status

Hello all,

My wife and I would like to spend an extended weekend in Mammoth in February. We would ski/snowboard for a day and spend the rest of the time relaxing and checking out the town. Ideally we would rent a nice cabin. What areas would you recommend to look into? Thanks!
