Thousands of skiers and snowboarders took their first runs of the season this morning at Mammoth. A powerful storm recently hit the Eastern Sierra early this week dropping over two feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain allowing the California resort to open Friday, October 16, four weeks ahead of schedule.

Here’s an opening day video from TransWorld Snowboarding:

Broadway Express (Chair 1) fired up this weekend. and within an hour Facelift Express (Chair 3) was also open providing access to more than 10 runs from mid-mountain to Main Lodge. Chair 23 began running at 12:45 providing access to the top of Mammoth Mountain. The Unbound Terrain Park crew was also hard at work to provide an array of rails and jibs for anxious skiers and snowboarders.

“I’m amazed not only by the number of people we had here today, but also by the level of riding I’ve see in the park today,” said Oren Tanzer, Director of Youth Action Sports at Mammoth Mountain. “People are picking up right where they left off last season like they never missed a beat.”

For the weekend, Mammoth expects to operate Broadway Express, Face Lift Express and Chair 23 from 8:30-4:00pm. Other services available at Main Lodge include Broadway Marketplace, Tusks Bar, Rental and Retail.

To help skiers enjoy the great early season conditions, Mammoth is offering First Tracks lift and lodging packages for as low as $99 per person per night based on double occupancy. Please call 800.MAMMOTH or visit MammothMountain.com to book.
