Mommy and daddy have been coming to Mammoth since they were little children. Mommy would spend summers here fishing and daddy would come up all year around, but mostly in the winter to ski. For my second birthday, I got to visit here for the first time. We met up with Grammie and Grandad in Palm Springs and gave them and their westie Camryn a ride to Mammoth. They haven't been here since Kristi was a teenager! After a very long but very nostalgic drive up 395, we arrived at the condo. I was so excited to be here I ran around the place laughing and jumping for joy.
My cake for my second birthday! YUM!
Daddy suggested I build a pillow fort in the living room. Cool idea, daddy! I laughed the whole time. Note to future babysitters: building pillow forts is always a good idea for an activity
We took Camryn for a walk to chair 15, where I will be learning to ski starting in a year or two. Daddy showed me the magic carpet and the poma lift that will carry me up the hill in ski school. We found a small patch of snow clinging to its spring existence. I was surprised by the cold sensation and laughed! Camryn just licked it!
On the first morning here we went to the classic Stove for breakfast. Daddy took a picture of me on the rock outside that he remembers climbing when he was young.

Soph! I am so excited you are at Mammoth! Just like your Mommy and Daddy I grew up going to Mammoth both in the summer and winter too. I remember eating pancakes at the Stove and drinking their yummy hot cocoa. It is a good place.
Also, I LOVE building pillow forts. Lets do that sometime, ok ;) Hopefully I'll see you soon Soph!
Love, Jenny
Dear Sophie,
You're the third generation to start going to Mammoth as a young child. Gran and Ada were taken there by their parents when they were about your age. It is a family legacy and great tradition. We must have a family reunion there some day. Love, Gran
Oh my! Pillow Forts and The Stove are two of my favorite memories of Mammoth. When your daddy was little he would build pillow forts and we would go to The Stove for breakfast. During the summer Uncle Mike took your daddy and uncles and aunt Jenny fishing on Lake George- looking at Mammoth Mountain makes Ada think of the- "The hills are alive with the sound of music" It is so nice to know that there are some things that don't change. How great to think of you, Laura, Harper and Kate building pillow forts.
