Who's going to be there? I can't wait, hopefully the snow storm follows through and we get some freshies. And they are also having two bands playing on Saturday Black Lips and Ra Ra Riot, don't know too much about either but should be fun.

Just saw that the concert was 21+ which sucks for those like me under 21. Oh well. http://www.mammothmountain.com/ResortActivitiesEvents/Event/2849/?p=1&m=12&y=2011&evttype=resort&ret=resort&wkIdx=1

I will be riding everyday but Saturday. The concert is too expensive for me right now, so I will be house partying.

Going up Thursday night for a 3 day weekend. The concert every year for opening weekend is typical of most of talent they manage to bring up there throughout the season: decent mid-major acts but nothing thats going to make you jump up and down for joy. Last year it was The Sounds, who aren't terrible but not worth the $25 for a concert inside Canyon Lodge. Usually just pregaming and hitting the bars end up being a way better time

The Sounds were able to draw thousands to the US Surf Open and sell out shows for way more than $25...

Aside from that, Ra Ra Riot is significantly smaller than The Sounds.

That being said, they have only sold 12 tickets as of 2pm today.... meaning the concert will likely be free. Don't buy a ticket.

That nice that you are working. I am still working only a day or two a week until McCoy Station opens. At least I am getting to ski everyday.

Great opening weekend IMO. The park had a lot of features and that bigger jump was quite fun. Really enjoying that they're starting to use more features in the park and I've heard that's one of the goals of the year to increase the amount of features in the parks. Bring on the snow! I remember last year at this weekend coming up it totally dumped.

I have met you a couple times: at the bandit photo shoot spring 10 and at Justin's dinner party last year. We should defiantly ride sometimes.
