Mammoth, Snowfest, Homecoming!

A busy semester has finally come to an end, which means it’s time for an update of all the happenings. Mammoth started out pretty slow this year snow-wise, but it’s been dumping just in time for winter break. We’re sitting ontop of a nice 4-6 foot base now with the entire mountain open!

Over the past few months we’ve gone through quite a lot. Aside from being in Mammoth every weekend since opening, we’ve had meetings, held a booth at homecoming, and put on a huge campus event – SnowFEST!

Homecoming is always our yearly fundraising opportunity and a way to meet up with past-team alumni. This past November we printed up our classic team logo on USC cardinal shirts, and sold over 120 of them. Thanks to all those that helped out, stopped by, or purchased ski team apparel!

Snowfest went off on November 14th without a hitch. For an event that was largely thought up on a whim between Mammoth Mountain and our team, the event went exceptionally well and gave the USC community an opportunity to experience a taste of Mammoth right in downtown LA. Hundreds of unexpecting students stopped by to snap pictures, throw snowballs, or sled down the hill. The event filled McCarthy quad with a snow hill, rails, and sponsor tents. Thanks to all the sponsors that came out to make the day exciting for everyone – Dragon, Nikita, Active, Skull Candy, Mammoth, Quicksilver.

We’re excited to get another event of this nature going for next year so stay tuned!

We hope everyone is having great holidays and we’ll see everyone up in Mammoth over the New Years for our first race!
