Snow-ward Bound

It's off to Mammoth this weekend for some grinding through the firm-packed powder wasteland of the California mountains.  Normally, things would be perfect about this time of year.  Since the rainfall and weather hasn't at all matched the torrential downpours we experienced last year, we're being treated to the wrath of La Niña.  Dry and warm, June-like conditions aren't necessarily a blessing for powder enthusiasts, but then again, I'm not much of an expert snow-boarder to be complaining that much.

Conditions are Machine Groomed and firm with a 10-12' base (that's about 3-3.7 meters for any metric readers out there).  The board is waxed and ready to go, so I'm praying my body will not be in pain.  Blues this time around?  Let's hope that happens too.
