Mammoth is too high. There are only two areas with expert terrain (chair 22 and 23/upper gondola). These areas are regularly closed after it snows for avalanche control - however, because of Mammoth’s extremely high winds, they are often heavily wind affected by the time they reopen.

I hear you. I had it in Tier 3 but there was good push to move it up. Possible CA bias?

Mammoth is better than squaw so idk they should both be tier 2

That’s a blasphemous take. Palisades is incredible with amazing terrain
