Mountain Glizzy: A Chili Dog at 10,000 Feet with a View to Match

Fish took the concept of a ski day lunch to its logical peak on March 9th — a chili cheese dog from Slim's Cantina at June Mountain Resort, eaten with a panoramic view of a snow-dusted valley, a frozen lake, and the Eastern Sierra stretching out behind it. A Mammoth Brewing Co. can stood at attention beside the tray. It was, by any measure, a perfect mountain meal.

The rest of the day held up too. Fish logged two runs on Deer Bowl via Strava, hitting a max speed of 51.7 mph before skidding to a stop — "crashed slightly," as he put it — on the second. June Mountain was empty on a Monday in March, and Fish made the most of it: smooth groomed blacks, big views, zero crowds. Then he drove the whole way back to San Diego.
