West Coast Boarders – Check Out Mammoth

It sure is a tough life living in Los Angeles, California.  After a mildly hot summer, we’re already well into the fall season and we’re still wearing t-shirts and shorts over here.  Halloween came around this year and with my favorite holiday, I’m supposed to feel that crisp fall sensation in the air allowing me to take out some of my favorite Cosbyesque sweaters.  When will the snow fall? 

Well a powerful storm hit the Eastern Sierra over the weekend dropping up to 18 inches of snow on , which is about eight hours north of Los Angeles. By late Sunday, resort operators made the difficult decision to open the slopes for skiing and riding on Monday, November 3, a full 10 days prior to schedule.

Mammoth’s high elevation and a firm commitment to the pursuit of playing big will pay off for skiers and snowboarders when Broadway Express opens at 9am on a base of 6-12 inches. A combination of natural and manmade snow will greet anxious riders for the first day on the slopes in California.
