**IKON Passholders winter RTT camping thread**

​

**This is a thread for like minded powder hounds to plan RTT snow camping trips to 2019/20 Ikon pass destinations and share experiences regarding camp spots, snow quality and overall fun**

 

Mammoth Mountain Opening day is November 9 2019

 

We are from Reno/Tahoe but GF and I are always down near mammoth. We usually camp near the numerous hot springs.

Any backcountry skiers here? Looking to explore some more remote places outside of Tahoe this year like the Rubies / Eastern Sierra.

Also have the Ikon pass.

 

Welcome to the group! We're planning to do some backcountry stuff in the sierras in the second half of the season. Planning to be up at mammoth two weekends a month this year, friday through sunday

 

Would anyone care to share their experience with getting their RTT ready for camping in the snow? Any advice on making roof top camping more comfortable in cold weather would be greatly appreciated.

 

Won't be in a RTT, but I'll be roadtripping my Taco and Trailer to quite a few Ikon Resorts this spring again. Pic is from Big Sky last March.

 

Don't have a rooftop tent but would be down to meet up with you guys at some places

 

Looks like conditions are looking good for the weekend in southern CA. I am planning to camp at Holcomb Valley by Big Bear Lake and catching first chair Saturday/Sunday morning.

Let's SHRED!!

 

No RTT but I’m not scared. I have a touring setup and an ikon pass

 

Please share if you know of any good spots to camp lift-side. Here's a pretty up to date list:

how was it up there today? I was thinking of heading up to big bear tuesday

 

Any experience touring around mammoth? Would like to go out with someone who is familiar with the terrain.

I mostly tour locally in Tahoe. We will probably start heading down there in a few weeks for some springing / skiing.

 

Snow Summit was wide open on Sunday with very few people on the mountain. The snow is wet and heavy, especially between the trees. Overall good conditions to start off the season, but not good enough to spend the night. Took a couple pics in the woods.

 

The forecast for Mammoth is looking promising for next weekend, if anyone is headed that way, or looking to join forces.

 

Ive never toured the east side, I just moved to so.cal about a year ago. I was pretty familiar with tahoe/carson pass/ lassen. Im also trying to meet up with some folks that have some experience touring the east side

 

If any of you come to ski in Utah, gimme a shout! No good places nearby the Cottonwoods or PC to camp this time of year, but I have a big driveway and a guest bedroom I'd be willing to share.

 

Those little buddy heaters are the tits if you don't have one. Honestly, the worst part of winter camping is trying to get all your ski gear base layers on inside a little tent before you freeze to death.

 

Mammoth trip Sunday 12/8/19 Knee deep powder, blue bird conditions... realized halfway i forgot to bring a wallet. Thank God for apple-pay! If you weren't there, you missed out!

 

I'll be up at squaw tomorrow if anyone is around

 

How was it up there?
