Gabe Taylor has been a part of the Mammoth team for so long that
he's an integral part of the entire Mammoth experience. He's not
afraid to grab a rake and touch up a jump when it needs it, and
he's taken countless young athletes into the backcountry to show
them the ropes.
- Years Riding? 13 years
- Favorite run at Mammoth Mountain? Waterfall to
Lower Dry Creek
- Park or Powder? Powder, although the parks
have been so fun this year you really can't lose.
- Favorite Mammoth Moment? Early season last
year we got a bunch of snow and the top hadn't opened yet. It was
the first day after the storm but it was pretty cloudy. I went up
anyways and cruised around the back of Ch. 1 and Ch. 23 was
turning. And nobody was there. I asked the liftie if it was open
and he said "yeah, but you're the only person I've seen." I jumped
on as fast as I could and 1/3 of the way up I found myself above
the clouds with the top of the mt. totally untouched. After about
three laps people showed up but that was a pretty magical morning
for me.

Giovanni's, Thai'd Up
