Whats the best time to go boarding/skiing in the sierra nevadas?

Im gunaa take a snowboarding class this semester at college, and there is a choice of one in Jan, Feb, and march.


I haven't gone in so long, and ive only gone once or twice in cali....the rest was in the poconos in pennsylvania.

Words cannot express how jealous I am of your right now. I went from teaching snowboarding (read, riding every day) every weekend/day off for 5 years to barely riding at all last season because of college, and here you are getting credit for doing the thing I love. Damn you!!!

As for the snow thing, I've never gone out west, but I hear great things about the spring-break riding out there, so I'd go with March.

Seriously, where the hell was this in the propaganda pamphlets?

Mammoth or Tahoe?

I would vote for March. February will probably be fine, and I've skied Mammoth in January, too. However, there is no doubt that by March, the snow pack is good and deep anywhere in the Sierras. I miss skiing in Tahoe. It's been a very, very long time.
