Mammoth Mountain Opening Day

It's snowing in Mammoth and if you're one of our Southern California regulars, you'll be cheering. Why Mother Nature cooperates and brings so much snow to Mammoth Mountain is just uncanny. Opening day is on track for Thursday November 10 with a weekend of parties to kick off the season. You will want to dust off your skis, get them waxed and get the thermal underwear out as it has been cold with temperature highs at 24 and lows at 15 with slightly warmer temperatures later in the week. Mammoth Lakes is all geared up for your vacations this winter and City Concierge can help you with discounts and packages all season long with new lift ticket programs, lodging specials to get you to come when it is not crowded, and spend less while having more fun.

At the top of the season the area that will be open is the Mammoth Main Lodge which has Broadway Express and Thunderbound. The gondola to the top may be running depending on weather but otherwise chair 23 will get you to the top. The groomers are working overtime to mix real snow with their snow out of the gun to make smooth trails, although it is early season, so you may want to leave the new skis at home on this first trip ;-).

It's going to be a long season again this year. Depending on who you ask you can get different weather reports. Last season many of the reliable, trustworthy weather sources were just plain wrong. The local towns people, with their home made predictors - like seeing deer run to the back country - knew the season would be bountiful. Sounds a bit "hillbilly" but a local knows when they have to get out a sweater early in the season, it is going to be a big one. This year national weather reports that it will be our regular season of about 400 inches, but some of the locals say absolutely not. They are predicting back to back bonus years which would be unheard of. But you are hearing it here first.
