May + Mammoth x Cinco de Mayo = Maysanity

Its always nice to know that even in rough economic times. While , we are stressing about matters of the heart and wallet. That with spring here, Mammoth and their homies at Vans came up with some serious cash for the 8th annual West Coast Invitational today May 1st. So far we have confirmed that these dudes will be showing up for the free socks(more on that later) atleast and trying to take the cash home. The two Dannys (Kass,Davis) Scotty Lago is going to come regardless of his injuries, The Mitani Bros , K- Pearce, Greg Bretz .

The next day May 2nd , it’s the big ole’ rail jam, which is the biggest gathering at Mammoth Village . Did I mention the beer snow garden? That might be an added extra incentive. Apprently the unspoken rule at Mammoth is that this week is simply known as Fiesta de la Pipa for celebrating Cinco de Mayo.Last year Chaz Guldemond walked with a hot stack $15K cash . This year Vans is doubling thepurse to a possible total of $20,000. Think about that friend. Just sit down and think for a moment. And the party, of course, doesn’t stop. Dilated Peoples will rap about snow at the nearby Canyon Lodge .Party is $10 at the door or a $5 advance purchase at the mountain ticket window. WCI lodging packages are also available, but you need to get on it if you’re going to lock in the low rate, which they’re claiming around $139 per night, lift tickets and event t-shirts included. Call 1-800-MAMMOTH and get your negotiation skills popping.

Oh, one more thing about Vans, the presenting sponsor, they just launched a new site where you can customize your own shoes. Go here and make your picks, design your shoes, and then enter this code: VANSCUSTOMS09. This will  reset your shipping costs to “0.00,” , and it’ll also get you a free pair of socks as well.
