MAMMOTH '06 (Deserving of a mammoth post)
The group from left to right: Kevin, Minhthy, Mark, Emily and Bob
The Living Quarters: Minhthy has this really awesome friend who let us stay in his trailer for free! It's only about 25 minutes from the mountain. It even had it's own stove fireplace. A skier's dream getaway.
The Mountain: Mammoth holds true to its name, its...well, Mammoth. There is plenty of terrain to explore and mountain to share even with the biggest crowds. The tree skiing here is some some of the best there is and Mammoth also boasts some pretty extreme terrain. A little expensive on the hollidays, but well worth a trip out there.
We skied two hard days in a row. The first day I just packed in some Cliff Bars, a PB&J, a Chew bar (smores), and a Nature Valley bar in my jacket and didn't even stop for lunch. The snow was just too good. It had snowed and stormed all day Saturday and then was absolutely clear and sunny on Sunday and Monday. God really blessed us on this trip!
Some of us didn't learn our lessons from "Dumb and Dumber." And nice pic Em :0
After our hard day of skiing we warmed up the trailer with a blazing hot fire (making fires has got to be one of my favorite pastimes, but I swear those girls never get warm enough. It was probably almost 90 degrees in there at one point), ate a huge big meal Minhthy made and played some cards and worshiped God in song.
Bob, like a good dentist, made sure we all brushed our teeth real good. (But I didn't floss)
I am man. I make fire.
I also made a new friend on the trip, Luke.
The Mammoth trip was so much fun, I think we should make it an annual event. The only thing that would have made the trip a little better is if you could've come along. It was a perfect break from school, but now I best study. Best wishes to you all!

K-Dog! I so stoked you make "Mammoth" posts. Keep it up. It's great so see what you do with more than one or two pics. Maybe i'll try and take my own advice for my blog.
Kev, nice pictures. Also good to see that you have such a good time. Too bad I'm too far away!
Kev - these are GREAT pictures!
This whole 'blog site' is awesome and a great way to visit you.
Nice tribute to RJ too.
Those Mammoth days are my kind of skiing days - and I am a bit jealous.
Love you!
