With that pen Mammoth Mountain CEO Rusty Gregory officially tied together all the lose ends in Mammoth’s plans to own Southern California mountain recreation. Mammoth now owns Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Sure, Mtn. High and Snow Valley are still running lifts, but you know what we mean. Gregory, however, is much more poetic about it.
“This is more than a merger of ski resorts, we’re creating greater access to year-round mountain experiences with a distinctly southern California feel,” said Mammoth CEO Rusty Gregory. “At Big Bear Mountain Resorts our goal is to provide the best first-time ski, snowboard and mountain bike experience in the country.”
And then, as soon as he gets them up and sliding (or rolling) he’s going to entice them to make the six hour drive to Mammoth and maybe even buy a condo! Yes, now Mammoth Resorts really is Mammoth. For the official word from Mammoth Resorts, please follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Looks like Rowan Zorilla won’t have to worry about shoes (or clothing) for a while (not that he’s had in trouble with that in the past). Vans has bumped him up to official global team status and they’re pretty happy about that.
Rowan is among the most naturally well-rounded skateboarders to emerge on the scene in recent years with the ability to charge a bowl as hard as he can skate a 12-stair rail, switch and regular. In the past year, RoZo has gone from relatively underground flow ripper to full Vans and Baker skateboards Am by managing to bang out an upcoming video part for this spring’s highly anticipated Vans skateboarding video.
Hey kids! Here’s your chance to watch Freddy Perry, Jesse Burtner, Aaron Kiser, Brandon Reis, Derek Lever, Brady Lem, Mitch Richmond, Sammy Spiteri, Ryan Paul, Sunburst locs, Ted Borland, Max, and Parker ride some rails and jump off some buildings (okay, one small shed) because that’s what urban snowboarding has come to. And lucky for us Think Thank was there to get it all down in all its glorious 1s and 0s.
