Mammoth Mountain opens its ski season Friday, Oct. 16, marking the second earliest opening for the Eastern Sierra snow monster.  Yesterday’s storm dumped two feet of snow, with as much as six feet hitting the top of the mountain.

Adding to the excitement of the second earliest opening in Mammoth history, skiers and snowboarders will be able to ride for free on Friday, Oct. 16.  The Broadway Express lift opens at 8:30 a.m. serving a base of 16 to 24″ of machine-groomed “natural” snow.  Woo Hoo!

A tip of the helmet to Howard Pickett, Mammoth’s Chief Marketing Officer who says the free skiing is a reward to the Mammoth’s guests. Runs to open on Friday include: Broadway, St. Moritz, Forest Trail, Mambo and Main Park with assorted rails and jibs to entertain us.  Mammoth plans to open additional lifts as snow conditions permit.

Mammoth offers First Tracks lift and lodging packages for as little as $99 per person based on double occupancy.  Call 800.MAMMOTH or visit wwwmammothmountain.com to book your stay.
