To recap, the last two weeks have seen huge snowfall across the Sierra, with Mammoth clocking in at 13-19 feet and a current base depth of 269″ at the summit; the deepest in North America by almost 60″.
And it’s not over yet! More snow (a lot more) is forecast for later this week with another 5-6 feet on the way over the next week. It’s a good time to be in Mammoth.
The only way to really understand the influence that Dylan Gamache, Brian Skorubski, Dr. B, Mary Rand, and Marcus Rand have as The Yawgoons is to visit Yawgoo Valley and see where it all started. So we flew from Bulgaria to Rhode Island, to see it for ourselves.
This was filmed on a car ride from Marcus’ house to Yawgoo Valley Ski Area. A week there hits you hard and reminds you why snowboarding is so cool, and why we all do it. The lack of huge mountains, park infrastructure, and tons of snow, made these guys overcome the laziness that we all have and the fear of being different that we all battle with.
The Yawgoons are one of the most recognizable crews of all time. Watch as we take a ride with Marcus Rand, and see from his point of view why the Yawgoons are where they are today.
