Despite the slow start to the ski season, skiers and snowboarders will be heading down the slopes well into May at Mammoth Mountain ski resort.
In the midst of another snowstorm in March, Mammoth Mountain announced today that it will be offering skiing and riding through Memorial Day weekend.
By mid-afternoon today, Mammoth Mountain was reporting 8-10 inches of new snow. In the past month the ski resort has received nearly 100 inches of snow. Mammoth Mountain currently has 100 percent of its terrain open and the base depth is 4-6 feet.
Staying open through Memorial Day is pretty routine. This is the 27th consecutive year that Mammoth Mountain has stayed open through the Memorial Day holiday.
Mammoth Mountain is located in southeastern California in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. At 11,053 feet, Mammoth Mountain boasts the highest summit of any California ski resort. The resort operates 28 lifts.
“Although winter got off to a slow start, the past month brought a series of strong storms with nearly 100 inches of snow, and more in the forecast this week,” Mammoth Mountain CEO Rusty Gregory said. “With excellent conditions typical of this time of year, we look to continue our long-standing tradition of skiing and riding well into May.”
To celebrate spring skiing, Mammoth Mountain has a jam-packed event calendar with all-ages activities on and off the hill.
Events such as the JLA Banked Slalom, Mammoth Invitational, Grenade Games 10, Pond Skim and the annual Easter celebration are back in addition to new offerings like Spyder’s massive “Where’s the Party?” concert at Canyon Lodge.
