Mammoth Ski Area

Enough Whiny Snow Talk

February 10, 2013 by MsCheevious

I was inspired to write this post, because of all the snow talk… talk of the record-breaking blizzards and snow storms that hit the Northeast here in the U.S. over the past few days.

Do you recall last winter (remember, back in 2011 and 2012?), how people seemed astonished by how mild the weather was?  The entire country was convinced that there was truth to the global warming thing, because it seemed that none of the ski areas had good snow. Some never even opened. In the entire country.

That’s a huge landscape people.

People whined and complained about it. I always listen in disbelief when people talk about the winter being too warm. When I was a kid, I was out sunbathing in sixty degree weather. I lived for “warm.”  But complaining about a mild winter?  That’s risky.  I love how the blogger Dooce stated that she wanted to butt into those conversations with a can of mace:

“Because the Universe? It is always listening. And it’s like, oh? Really? You want snow? YOU JUST WAIT. Because this winter I’m going to pin you down and shove snow down your maw so hard you that are going to poop ice through Labor Day.

The Universe was so not kidding. In fact, the Universe is Tony Soprano.”

M.C. Nugget (my beau) and I were guilty of this very same whining and complaining last year ourselves. We weren’t thrilled with the mere pittance of snowfall received at Mammoth Ski Area, because it was the one and only place in years that either one of us had relented and actually bought and paid for a season pass.  So, in a sense, we had every right to complain. We had a vested interest, and the great Mountain did not deliver.

But I gotta tell you something. Here in Southern California, it was only a few short weeks ago we were shocked and awed by our 85 degree summer-like weather. We’d just gotten a few weeks past the news of the East coast Hurricane Sandy horrors, and still, things here grew warmer and balmier.

People were talking about it, and loving life here on the sunny left coast. I overheard someone saying how they remembered Januaries here as always experiencing a bit of a heat wave.  I don’t have a recollection of it being the case every year, but eh? What did I care? It was warm and yummy out. That was good enough for me. I nodded and smiled.

Then over the course of the next few weeks our warm balmy weather started to turn cloudy, foggy, rainy.  What was happening? I tried to ignore it. I thought surely it was a freak of nature and our warm balmy breezes would soon return. No. We had some ups and downs.  It would get warm, and then it was like the universe was having a wicked, amusement with us, wringing it’s hands “Mwahahaha…” It was warm, then cold. Sunny, then foggy. Warm again for a few days last week, and our hopes were kindled. We breathed out in relief.

But then it happened. No sooner did the weather forecasters warn of dangerous blizzards, record-breaking temperatures and snow falls on the East coast, that we here in Santa Monica started to feel the chill in the air again too. The wind and rain and chill grew more intense.

As I put on my Uggs, and pull my puffy coat back out of the crevice in the closet reserved for forgotten winter gear to run a quick errand, I’m a little miffed.  NO. I’m EXTREMELY MIFFED. I’m kinda tired of hearing about your snow problems. First it’s “There isn’t enough snow! wah wah wah”… then it’s “OH NO… THERE IS TOO MUCH SNOW.” Which is it people?

Someone took my SUNSHINE, for goddsakes. That is just wrong. And I think the East coast is to blame.  The record breaking cold temperatures, snowfall and dangerous blizzards probably caused some kind of planetary shift in weather patterns… so it’s bye bye warm and sunny, hello gooey, dewy, drizzly, foggy schmutzy weather.

So, there shall be no more whining about your sad snow. There has been quite enough whiny snow talk.  Boo hoo hoo… you’re too cold?  Well so am I.  So stop your whining, UNKAY?  I want my Indian Summer back!  If you’d like to appease me or set my mind at ease, you could send me some Irish Whiskey or something to warm me up.  That might help.

Now I think I better go out for a walk on the cool, brisk beach.

Love you people!!!! Mmmmmpppphhhuuuhhhh!!!

Mammoth Mountain Moments – the iPhone Incident

May 4, 2012 by MsCheevious

Yes – we went and did it, people.  M.C. Nugget* and I went to Mammoth for a ski getaway last weekend. It turned into an entire debacle involving my iPhone.  The tale is full of twists and turns, as well as screams and tears, but you’ll have to watch the video below to know why.  Now here is the cool part: ONE lucky commenter on my YouTube channel will receive a very cool prize (I’ve got something for your comments here too. Keep reading).  I hold the actual prize up in the video toward the end, but here is a close-up:

I chose the powder blue version. It’s a Miller and Jeeves (out of Oxerfordshire England) business or credit card wallet, and the leather on this little guy is so YUMMY smelling!  You’ve got to check it out at www.bottica.com.  They were the gracious people to gift this to me because of my KLOUT score online! Isn’t that awesome?  Yes, I am well aware than many of you don’t know anything about KLOUT scores, and I’m talking gibberish as far as you’re concerned. But think in terms of the word “clout” – what it means – and then, as it relates to “online” or “internet” presence.  My score is actually not very accurate, because it won’t allow me to combine more than one twitter account or more than one Google+ account, and guess what? I have about 8 twitter accounts.  Yes.  8 or so.  Plus or minus…. maybe. Really people. By now you know that I have my OWN online presence, as does Lisa Jey Davis (the other me). So there are numerous profiles running around cyberspace. I don’t blame Klout for not being able to keep up. I’m suffocating in the bytes myself!

Anyway – watch the video. Comment on YouTube if you’d like to get a chance to win, and comment here – because I’m going to pull together a consolation prize for one person who can tell me the very last word I say in the video – and when it appears! This one is fun.

Here’s the video! Click the little YouTube icon on the bottom right of the box to write your comments on YouTube (you’ll need a YouTube account – but that’s super easy, especially if you already have Google+ – which owns YouTube – it’s pretty much done).

For those of you via email, who cannot see the video box, here is the link: http://youtu.be/b74Vvkf7JrY

Good luck everyone!  Tune in next time for an article on those things Girls Secretly Wish About Guys! OHHHHH YEAAAAH.

Love you People!!! MMMPPPHUUUHHHHHH!!!!

Mammoth Mountain Moments: My Plan for the Existence of Humanity

November 15, 2011 by MsCheevious

____

As ski season approaches, I just thought it apropos to post my video about my trip to Mammoth Mountain for skiing IN JUNE!!

We had SUCH a blast!  The sheer novelty of traveling through 95 degree temperatures just a few miles away, to ski the slopes of Mammoth Mountain – well that’s what I’m ALL about!

M.C. Nugget has a video of his own in the edit bay, but this one is all from my perspective. I did it back in October and posted to my Ms. Cheevious Youtube Channel, but it definitely warranted a blog post! And stay with me, because I divulge my plan for the existence of humanity. Yes, you’ll see me lounging on the slopes, skiing and – well, eating and drinking of course!

These are some profound thoughts, or “moments” I’m sharing with you people. It doesn’t get much better than this.  Plus – the music is cool, once again.  AND – I think you will AGREE that my plan for the existence of humanity is pretty cool… and ONE person who comes up with their own rendition of the “product” in question and posts in on my FACEBOOK page wins $25 bucks!  YEEHAW!  It has to be a photo or drawing, etc, and I will choose names out of a hat… if any of you actually do this!    You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see the video!  So get to it!

Enjoy!

If this video doesn’t display in your email or browser, please click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnALYukZeBA).

Then, PLEASE 1) post comments on youtube, 2) hit the “thumbs up” or “like” and 3) SUBSCRIBE to my fun youtube channel!

That’s it for now everyone!  Love and kisses to you all, as I enter the editing bay for the SECOND edition of Mammoth Moments!

Have a great rest of your week, and tune in next time for my annual Thanksgiving post!

Love you people!!!! Mmmmmpppphhhuuuuhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
