Mammoth: Mountain - Ca
Top 4 Reasons to Play Sick at Mammoth:
1. Because Mondays at Mammoth are more fun than Friday nights at home.
2. Because mountain air makes for good medicine and doesn't require a co-pay.
3. Because ski bunnies and snow cowboys are hotter than candy stripers and orderlies.
4. Because playing sick is just as fun as playing doctor, without the cold stethoscope.
