Snow at Mammoth Mountain! Snowboarders & Skiers Are Pumped

Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge on Tuesday/Arbor Collective Facebook

Snowboarders and skiers rejoice. Mammoth Mountain received a light white dusting today, marking the season's first snowfall. While L.A. prepares for impending rain and cold temps, snow enthusiasts have their fingers, toes and eyes crossed for a 2011 that's even whiter than 2010.

Last year Mammoth enjoyed the snowiest November in 25 years, according to OC Beach Blog. Snowfall continued to break records through December, when snowfall during the month reached 209 inches, and in May, with 31 inches. The season wrapped with over 600 inches of snow on record.

Mammoth opened last year on November 8 with man-made snow and celebrated the first real snow on November 22. Enthusiasts hope for an early 2011 season and are polishing their rightful snow dances.

Best Ski Resorts

Mammoth Mountain also has one of the longest ski seasons in North America, which averages from November to June. Mammoth does occasionally open earlier, such as in 2005, when the resort opened in October, and did not close until the 4th of July.
