Huevos Grande Map

Huevos Grande, like Hangman’s, is perhaps the most challenging double black exposure lines off the top of Mammoth. Skier’s right out of the Gondola it’s mostly rideable mid-winter or late spring. Rocks, rice and death cookies abound, so grab your help, grind your edge and grit your teeth because Heuvos Grande will separate the big boys from the rest. Once dropping in stay right to find a more open line and avoided the steep rocks on left. A cliff band is treacherous so stay right and stay safe to tell the tale at the pub tonight.
