Skiers and snowboarders can finally get back on the slopes.
Mammoth Mountain will open for the season on Thursday, November 20.
After a recent storm cycle and cold temperatures allowed snowmaking teams to build a solid base, the resort is ready to welcome visitors.
The resort had originally planned to open on Saturday, November 15, but changes in the storm cycle delayed operations. “Due to changes in the current storm cycle, we will not be opening for skiing and riding this Saturday,” Mammoth Mountain stated on its website. “We will be assessing conditions daily and are committed to getting open as soon as conditions allow.”
Since Sunday, Mammoth Mountain has received 18–32 inches of natural snowfall, with more expected.
Mountain Operations teams are currently evaluating snowpack and terrain to determine which lifts and trails will be available on opening day.
The Mountain says it will provide more details on lifts and runs soon.
