I found this epic artwork while dining at Sushi Rei, after a crucial day of snowboarding mammoth mountain California. The artist’s name is Sticky Shaw. I really enjoyed the combination of elements in this piece.

Cabin is buried in snow at Mammoth
Great week for snowboarding and skiing at Mammoth. Over 500 inches of snow with all the powder your precious little heart could want. We really were very fortunate to arrive at this time. This mountain is truly epic. I’m just trying to have fun and not dash my brains out against one these gigantic pine trees I am weaving in and out of. The immense mountain is littered with red and white fir trees and maybe a few quaking aspens.
After a long hard day of riding I enjoy a little therapy to my taxed body. In the evening I have the great fortune of access to an outdoor jacuzzi next to piles of snow. so I alternate laying in the snow and easing into the hot tub. Click here to see my post about this form of cold therapy/climate conditioning.
snowboarding this week in Mammoth
pumped up to go snowboarding for the first time on the left coast. headed to Mammoth for a week long birthday celebration for my brother. Although I have skateboarded aggressively throughout my life I have haven’t been snowboarding since high school. Those trips were all on the east coast. The land of ice and artificial snow. So, needless to say I am curious about the powder I will enjoy this week.
Mammoth reports 36 inches fell on the mountain this last weekend and it is not letting up until Wednesday. Glad I got experience chaining up an 18-wheeler last month. My little Scion xB never imagined it would have chains on its tiny wheels, but the front wheel drive should handle pretty well.
