Chelone Miller: Professional Snowboarder Found Dead

Chelone Miller is a twenty-nine year old from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, who relocated later to Mammoth Lakes, California. Chelone established himself as a professional boarder following being named “SuperPark Standout” of 2009 by Snowboard Magazine. Younger brother to Winter Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller, he spent his young life on the slopes with his family, pushing the limit on his jumps further, and further.

After a motorcycle accident that left Miller in a coma for nearly half a month, he moved to Mammoth to utilize their layout in preparing for the 2014 Sochi Olympics in snowboardcross.
Just this past Sunday, Chelone Miller was found dead in his van. It is believed at this time that his death was a result of a seizure connected to his motorcycle accident earlier on.

The Mammoth RBO Team offers our condolences for the Miller family.

“Blob” Over The Sierras?

Remember “The Blob?”

No? It was the ultra-cheesy 1958 Horror film in which an intergalactic “blob” terrorizes a small town, growing larger as it consumes…Well, it was before my time, but it was the very thing I thought of reading the weather-news in Mammoth this morning.

Since the beginning of the New Year, a massive-high pressure ridge (our blob) has been blocking some much-needed precipitation from reaching the poor Eastern Sierra.

But, this pest has begun breaking down, and just in time to beef up an already strong spring skiing season in Mammoth.

 “Good riddance to that awful block!”  (Did he mean to say, blob?) Wrote weather forecaster Howard Sheckter. “Although the Weather Weenies across the eastern United States have loved every minute of it … that block has been a problem for most of California.”

We really do live in a small, interconnected world. Europe has been slammed by one of the hardest winters in one hundred years in direct connection with the weather abroad. “Now that it’s falling apart, the door will open soon,” Sheckter said. “Eventually, the Eastern Pacific will open up.”

 “We could get a real storm between the first of April and mid-April,” he said. “I would not be surprised to get a three-foot dump. Now, I’m not forecasting a three-foot dump. I’m just saying, I would not be surprised.  That could move us up to 80 percent to 90 percent of normal.”

And again Mammoth lovers, although Mammoth is in step with the Sierras weather pattern as a whole, it has maintained a better snow season. More snow in the next month, and a longer ski season? Yes please.

 

Cheers from the Mammoth RBO Team!

Get Up, Gear Up, & Get Out There!

As snow melts and ice thaws, it’s time to transition into spring & summer activities. Although you very well might get the chance to ski and board into June or maybe July even, new outdoor ventures are ready and waiting.

Let’s talk climbing. Mountain climbing at the Owens River Gorge offers short, yet challenging climbs. Climbers have their pick at many of the Sierra’s peaks, or at the nearby walls of Yosemite. Climbing is an empowering fusion of athleticism and critical thinking. It’s an absolute blast regardless of your skill set and experience.

Open year-round, the Sierra Rock Climbing School guides will give you their attention and instruction to improve your climbing. And of course, children and families are welcome. Guides are available seasonally to lead visitors on Ice Climbs in Lee Vining Canyon. Maybe you’ll leave the kids back at the village for this one…

Okay slightly less intense, but no less lovely; let’s talk hiking. Mammoth Lakes area in the spring offers breath-taking landscapes and warmer temperatures.

Yosemite National Park and Tuolumne Meadows become accessible from Mammoth usually in May for Memorial Day Weekend. Ask anyone, there really isn’t a better time to visit the valley and Yosemite. Why? The waterfalls are the most full they’ll be all year. If that weren’t enough, flowers are in bloom and they’re beautiful snow caps still resting atop the mountain peaks.

Spring landscapes in Mammoth are simply hypnotic. Get up, gear up, and get out there!

Cheers from the Mammoth RBO Team!

Mammoth Town Council: This Season

The Mammoth Town Council held a meeting recently on economic matters of the town.

In the meeting, the remainder of the winter peak season was discussed. Jack Copeland, President of the town Chamber of Commerce said, “We will have to work hard to get people here and beef up the focus on service.” This was said with the understanding that this is the slow season coming up, and all Mammoth businesses needed to work harder to make the very most of it.

Copeland mentioned this meant big sales in Mammoth; lift tickets, lodging, ski equipment and clothing.

He also brought forward his desire to “bump up” customer service among Mammoth businesses. Copeland believes the culture is lacking and all need to “treat everyone like a local.” The Chamber will hold workshops for local businesses to address this situation.

Amid claims of imprudent staffing and inefficiency, Mayor Matthew Lehman assured the board that the town is running at “zero profit with no reserves municipality”, “They’re pushed pretty hard.” The mayor said, speaking of the town’s departments.

Mayor Lehman is participating in the San Diego Marathon, which will later lead to a marathon in Mammoth Lakes. He plans to participate for the sake of publicity for the town. But why this is news at all, is because of a request he has made to be reimbursed $199 for his flight to San Diego.

The Council tried to see if Mammoth Lakes Tourism could pay Lehman, but Town Attorney Andy Morris said there are restrictions on a third party paying. He said it would be considered a “gift to the Town.”

The Council did indeed approve the reimbursement. The council’s voting results were 4 to nothing.

To Memorial Day & Beyond!

Two years ago, Mammoth celebrated a whopping 668 inches of snow setting a town record! Beginning in October, Mammoth has seen 288.8 inches so far this year, but that and projections of a few coming storms has the ski resort planning to remain open through Memorial Day! Wahoo!

Up from last year, the town tourism board estimates lodging occupancy to be at around 60%. (Here at Mammoth RBO, occupancy continues to float significantly higher. Hey, just saying.)

Mountain biking trails at Mammoth are now up, as well as the Sierra Star golf course, so lots to do this month!

Mammoth Mountain has reported 183 inches at the 11,053-foot summit, and a base depth of 83 inches at the main lodge. The record set back in 2011 carried the ski season into the July 4th holiday, so let’s see what we can do!

 

Happy Monday from the Mammoth RBO Team!
