Mammoth Mountain is fully open and piling up the snow with some splendid help from Mother Nature! It snowed another 3" last night giving us a total of 30" for the latest storm. Early season riders will be delighted to find snowboarding camps and competitions already underway. And if you want to see the slopes for yourself, checkout the four web cameras on our site. The Mountain lays claim to a 3,100 foot drop from 11,053 feet to 8,000. Riders will love the half pipe at the Unbound Snowboard Terrain Park, and skiers will just plain love more awesome terrain than most other resorts around. Everything is expected to be open this weekend. And now you can reserve your ski gear online through Footloose on our site so you won't have to wait it a dreaded holiday line! What a cool way to spend the holidays! We also added our specials and packages for the winter season. So when ya drivin' up?
