Mammoth 05
We had quite the full house for this long weekend trip. Ten people in a two bedroom condo. The conditions were very warm, but the snow wasn't bad because they got so dang much of it the weeks before we showed up.
Justin Flying
Justin demonstrates how to get more air by pretending to be an airplane.
Justin Almost Jumping

Elbow of Death
Justin demonstrates the Elbow of Death (either that or the Armpit of Death) while Dave packs.
Don't Turn There!
So, yeah, this almost looks sorta cool until you realize that's a jump I'm going over. Memo to self, don't change mind mid-approach. I was limping a bit the next day from the aftermath of this.
Dave Little Jump
Dave demonstrates perfect horizontal board technique on a jump in the park.
Dave Flashing Trick
Dave gets some serious air here and even throws in a trick (anyone know what its called when you bend your legs like this and flash the bottom of the board at the camera?)
Condo Living Room
The living room at our condo.
Cathy Snowplowing
Cathy trying to slow down before she whizzes by the camera.
Adam on Stump
Hey, even serious boarders need a break now and then.
Who's that Guy?
I was all set up to get a picture of Justin doing this exact trick, but some guy in a tan and orange jacket had to go and hog the spotlight. Justin is in the background, arms extended.
Walkin' to the Lifts
Sammy, Mark, Anne, Cathy (red cap in BG) walking to the lifts on day one. Outside of our condo complex in the background.
Unbound South Park
View from the bottom of the Unbound South Park where all the tricks in this album were performed (on, ahem, the smaller jumps on the left).
Sarah Skiing
Sarah takes a break from punishing the mountain to pose for a picture.
Sarah Catching Air

Sarah and Dave
Sarah and Dave back from the slopes (is it me, or do they look a bit tired?)
Mountains
Nice mountain shot.
Married Folk
Dave and Sarah itching to get started.
Lots of Snow
There was a LOT of snow in Mammoth the week before we got there. It was piled over our heads on the sides of the roads.
