Mammoth Mountain is gearing up for a bustling Thanksgiving weekend as the California ski resort celebrates its snowiest November since 2009.
The popular winter destination received an additional six inches of fresh powder on Wednesday, pushing the season's total snowfall to an impressive 65 inches. The early-season accumulation has created ideal skiing conditions just in time for the holiday rush.
Adding to skiers' excitement, weather forecasters predict clear skies and optimal visibility for the coming days, setting the stage for what resort officials expect to be an exceptionally busy holiday period.
The remarkable November snowfall marks a strong start to the 2023-24 winter season, breaking a 14-year record for the resort's November precipitation. The abundant early snow has allowed Mammoth Mountain to open more terrain and establish a solid base for the winter ahead.
The combination of record-breaking snow conditions and favorable weather forecasts suggests visitors will find excellent skiing and riding opportunities during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, though guests should prepare for larger crowds drawn by the exceptional conditions.
