Meanwhile, at Mammoth Mountain

Memorial Day has passed but the lifts are still open. Avid skiers and snowboarders are on the slopes even though the snow is... meh. I skied here once upon a time, back before my knees suggested I give up the sport.

In related news, the road beyond Mammoth Mountain, which leads to Minarets Overlook, Devil’s Postpile and several campgrounds, is still closed. But there are plentiful boondocking spots along Mammoth Scenic Loop, in the National Forest.
