Depends on how she rides and what level of a rider she is. It’s not an exact science, there is some overlap but 147-150 is generally in a range down from 153.

Would you recommend two days at Squaw and two days at Mammoth or three days mammoth and 1 day Squaw? I've been to Squaw before but not mammoth

Just bought my 24/25 Ikon pass.
One last trip for this season, going to Big Sky for a few days at the end of March.
Was in SLC last weekend, had a fun powder day at Brighton.
Skied the Great Western lift most of morning and had some really nice laps early on before most of the crowd got over there. After that it was three bluebird days.
Snowbasin was awesome, first time skiing there and it's a much bigger resort than I thought with a great mix of terrian. Fun runs on the Strawberry side where you can just kind of pick your own line off the gondola. The downhill area though off John Paul were some of the best groomers I have skied, long runs with steep sections. It is awesome that you can rip down the Olympic downhill runs.Lots of areas I still need to check out at that place.
Hit Park City for the first time on Saturday, stayed on the Canyons side and it can be a bit of challenge figuring out the place at first since it was so sprawling. Hung out most around tombstone, dreamscape and nintyine 90 lifts. Highlight of the day was finding some really nice soft snow off of ninty-nine 90 on the Charlie Brown run, only drawback is that it is hard to lap. Going to have to get back again to ski the PC side and Jupiter one day.
Finished the SLC trip at Solitude, lots of fast groomer laps and did a few side trips into Honeycomb canyon but you had to go deep into the canyon to find good snow. Followed a few locals into an area way down the left side of the canyon, was a long traverse but ended with the best snow on the mountain.

Wasatch blasting!
I’ll run my last season nips of the sweet liquor on tax day 4/19ish out there.
It always delivers.

I don’t know anything about snowboards but my gf rides a 153. Is a 147-150 a small board
I’m 5’10”.
140 lbs of hate.
147 is the smallest I’ve ever ridden. It’s a surf feel. I skate a lot. It felt like a skateboard. Pop heavy.
It’s also a boutique board. No need for me to keep riding the mass production models.
Today Mammoth summit was crowded but just for the photo ops.
No photos of the my descents but all those frickers pictured above were no where near the lines we dropped off of Cloud Chair 9.

I’ve never been to Sqaw.
The only thing I’d recommend is to chase the forecast. Nail down those places that are gonna nuke.
Everything else is just lagniappe.

Team ran all Korua today. Dart, Pencil and Transiton Finder.
We don’t ride for the faint of heart.

Mammoth Mountain CA
Groomer day. Spring conditions. We spent most of the day lapping the Summit gondola line between Huevos Grande and Climax.
There’s a puff of smoke in there from my crew.
On to Lake Tahoe today.

South Lake Tahoe
It’s hard to believe this place had over ten feet of new snow a little over a week ago.

The stickiest of the ickiest at Palisades. Sun tans and slush riding.
Killer place. Way more mellow than my recent Mammoth CA descents.
Marginal conditions for a bomber mountain.

So after my first day at Sqaw/Palisades, I’d recommend two and two. Mammoth is very comparable to Squaw. I’d give a slight nod to Mammoth for their steep open bowl areas at the summit. Palisades is more a rolling hills type of place.
Posted on 3/20/24 at 11:04 am to One72
Got any new snow lately?
Posted on 3/20/24 at 5:41 pm to RonFNSwanson
No. It’s been a slushpalooza.
But the forecast is promising for Saturday ~ 20 inches.
Of course, I’ll be home.

Yeah, looks like we are on the brink of winter's return across the intermountain west.

Yeah I originally had 1 day Squaw, 2 mammoth, 1 Squaw but figured that's way too much moving around. Got a room in mammoth for that first night so now 3 days mammoth one Squaw. It'll be good no matter what it's looking like

Absolutely. Mt Bachelor couldn’t have been any better. Mammoth was Mammoth - steep and uncompromising. Palisades and its stunning views to end the trip
Day 23 today. I’ll hopefully cross 25 in April.
You’re gonna have a blast at both Mamoth and Palisades.
I’m psyched for you.

We found a tram. No one up here other than ski lessons. Dangerously gorgeous. Technical and iced over. Sun bakes everything and it freezes at night.
Also,
their logo reminds me of the Thundercats logo.
Super rad place. I’d still give my nod to Mammoth only because Mammoth doesnt get so sun baked, which leads to miles of ice fields.
Some locals already tried to nix my idea of buying a houseboat and living on the lake. 5-8’ swells would ruin my day. It’s also illegal.
Wouldn’t be a bad way to get off the grid.

Bump
I’m seriously considering moving to Bend OR.
I’m 47 and am financially independent.
I’m good on saws and ropes and snow.
Would anyone have any contacts to help me get a job there?
I have my own climbing saw and Stihl MS362 for blocking down and bucking.
Will climb and kill for food.
