May 31st 2021 Mammoth CA

Mammoth Memorial Day….May 31st 2021

Three flags Larry was the story….And this…”We hit the spot so many times that we watched as full beers were coming out of the melting Snow bank”… So I get them all in one bag and deliver them to the Lifties on chair 3… “White claw is my favorite beer”...Thank You!!!

Larry (Friends with Mammoth Scott) drops his home made backpack and 3 Big American flags near the spot… We return to find One Flag and his pack….What? 2 Flags missing/stolen out of his backpack...

I’m heading down to Chair one and find the two Flags while everyone else loads the Gondola at McCoy (Midway loading) for the end of season party at the summit ..”Chair one the snow is to slow right now” Its 13:00...I head to the Broadway Ski run and the side of the terrain park…. It was perfect!! Next I ski up to two Snowboarders with Larry's 2 Flags… I said I’m taking those 2 Flags back and I did…. Took the Gondola to the top where I present Larry his 2 Flags to many cheers!... Later when Larry, Scott, Dave and I Ski off the top for the final run of the season…. It's a Mob!!! Bonus is Dennis from Salty Peaks (Owner of this “Snowboard” Ski Shop) follow us off the top holding an American flag too!!! We all got a cameo on Mammoths Facebook/Instagram video…
