Mammoth Mountain welcomed the first turns of the season to California, and you better believe that Special Blend [1] was there to hold it down for First Chair and Last Call. Andie Peterson, Caveman Dave, Tony Guerriero, and Charles Woldhuis were all awarded with the head-to-toe setup from Special Blend for their early morning efforts. Two of the winners went big that day however, with Tony getting Mammoth's First Chair for the 10th year in a row, and Charles celebrating his 50th birthday. With soft snow, beautiful weather, and giveaways from Special Blend, everyone in Mammoth was a winner that day. Aside from the burning legs, there wasn't much anyone had to complain about. The Winners: Tony Gurriero, Andie Peterson, Caveman Dave, and Charles Woldhuis Early Morning Shredders Not too shabby, eh? First Chair Yo! First Chair! Where ma dogs at? For AM rider Greg Bretz must not listen to Slayer. If he did, he'd know that "God Hates Us All" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Call went down at the infamous Lakanuki, located in Mammoth's Village. The crowd that came out couldn't have asked for a better bar scene on opening night. Karaoke, DJ beats, a re-convergence of friends, the thrill of opening day, a Special Blend product toss, and a free drink or two at Last Call, proved to be a great formula for fun. A huge thank you goes out to Oren Tanzer, along with Mario, Stu, and the rest of the bartenders at Lakanuki for an epic day in Mammoth. There're still plenty of stops left, so Click here [2] to hit up a resort near you Lakanuki - filled to the gills Seth managing to catch one of the outgoing Special Blend Backpacks in the product toss.
