I loved: 
wind packed power on Lincoln Mtn. chutes
I hated: 
too many people, too few lifts
Lift/trails closed: 
everything higher than mid-chalet
Quality of moguls: 
big, soft once open on Sunday afternoon

Mammoth got 6-7 feet of fresh powder on Friday and Saturday
which overwelmed the staff. Very crowded both days with
delayed openning on Sat. mainly at Warming Hut II and only
lifts 6?, 7, 8, 15, and 17 operating. Sunday had more lifts
but still only the lower mountain until about 2:00 when
chair 22 finally openned. Again very crowded. Chutes on
Lincoln Mtn. were great with lots of power.
