Name That Expresso

May 9, 2007

As soon as Mammoth Mountain opened up the competition to name the new Chair 9, the great minds of Mammoth went to work.

"It's a 6 pack ... And it's Chair 9 ... So obviously, 69 Express!" wrote one of the wits on one of the mountain's message boards.

Lots of other ideas are coming in. Before these ideas get lost to history, though, here are a scant few that showed up in public, on the threads, lest they be lost in the cinders.

Juniper Excess.
Two-Beer Express.
Starwood To Heaven.
Chair 9.1.

The most poignant idea (so far) was WSJ Express, in honor of the three patrollers who died last season while trying to fence off the fumarole near Chair 3 (Oops! Facelift Express).
