The decor is the same, an impressive collection of tikis still lurk in the corners, and you could tell a great deal of thought went into its design. However, this "tiki" bar, I'm sure to cater to the clientele of snowboarders and families, has changed its vibe entirely, feeling more like a family restaurant/sports bar. The Mai Tai, their only tiki specialty drink, went from a well thought out tasty cocktail last time I visited to spiked red koolaid. They sold out of mugs in the first year and have no plans to order more, and have since lost the key to the t-shirt cabinet. I am sad that a place I was so excited to visit on my next trip to Mammoth has fallen into such a rut.
