After being jealous of the early season in Colorado the past couple weeks, it’s finally time for Mammoth to open for the 2011/12 season. Opening Day is this Thursday, November 10. It’s my second season here in California so definitely looking forward to the slopes opening nearby and being able to ride around the state this winter. I’ll be here for Opening Day but skipping out on the opening weekend festivities to spend time in Tahoe and visit family in Northern California.
If you are near Mammoth for Opening Weekend, here’s the line-up of events for this weekend.
