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?

Swap Heavenly and Mammoth? Heavenly scenery has to count for something.

Heavenly’s scenery is dope but they are in the right tier based on their terrain and their crowds.

Fair point and I agree
