My friends and I had our epiphany at breakfast at Cinnamon Bear Inn in Mammoth Lakes. While our Weekend Warrior compatriots had returned to L.A. the day before, my friends and I had chosen wisely to take March 19—a Monday—off. The Inn owner placed our omelette plates in front of the four of us that morning, greeting us with, "Welcome to The Day of the Year!" more ›

You know what rhymes with "bragging rights" (mostly)? SNOWBALL FIGHTS! Up at Mammoth, this recent weather system has left a dumping of snow on the resort and town, and today it's official: Mammoth is "the ski resort with the most snow in the world," per The Beach Blog. Skiinfo.com tracks resorts around the globe, and Mammoth tops the charts right now with a 488cm snow depth. The popular ski and snowboard destination has already passed their own record for the snowiest December since 1969, and now, well, total world domination is theirs. Now hit the slopes! more ›

Perhaps those of you who frequent Wilshire Boulevard along the La Brea Tar Pits noticed the new location of the trapped Woolly Mammoth near the streetside enclosure, as pictured above. Around December of last year, the fiberglass mammoth wrangled loose of its tether and drifted Southward, spurring this writer to wonder whether a new narrative was being constructed for the 40-ish year-old display. It would appear the middle-aged pachyderm merely broke free of her moorings and simply beached herself on the opposite shore. We have expended very little energy to track down the true story behind the Winter migration, though we suspect it could have something to do with the McNaught Comet. more ›
