Mammoth is a cool destination for skiing in California , but we usually ski once a year and go to either Colorado or Lake Tahoe . I’d always heard stories of the traffic being a nightmare trying to go to ski resorts in CA. Mike is a member of the website Meet Up and joined a group that likes to camp and hike. A member made up an event to attend Mammoth’s Bluesapalooza. Mike forwarded me the info and I said sure, let’s go. If nothing else, it would be a good excuse to finally get up to Mammoth to check it out.
