Visitors can expect the following arrangements for the opening weekend:

All skiing and riding operations will be centered around Main Lodge — Canyon Lodge and The Mill will remain closed.

Mammoth Mountain will operate Broadway Express (1), the lower Panorama Gondola to McCoy, and Face Lift Express (3), offering access to Broadway, Saddle Bowl and Times Square for skiing and riding.

The Panorama Gondola will run to the summit for Scenic Rides exclusively on Fridays through Sundays. Chairlifts will operate from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m..

There will be no beginner terrain available during this initial period.

Mammoth Unbound will feature a small terrain park on the rider’s right of lower Broadway.

As the season progresses, terrain expansion will continue to be based on snowfall and snowmaking, officials said.

Visitors can are advised to ride with caution as “early season obstacles” will be present.

Our ski club had some 60 people booked for Mammoth Mountain last season. NONE of them made it due to their being TOO MUCH SNOW! Roads to the ski resort were closed so much the tour operator gave up and sent us all back home. Those of us with trip insurance got full refunds.

Never had to turn-around and NOT go skiing because of too much snow ever before!

It got to the point where I finally asked myself “why should I leave Michigan in the freezing winter for a week’s vacation in another place with a freezing winter?”

Me too!
I loved skiing until it got too expensive.
I have a theory that you can only afford one expensive hobby.
Mine is now called “Porsche”

Wish I could be in your shoes. For me, the only hobby I have left is the Bingo at the local community senior center.....

Me brudder’s up there right now in Mammoth skiing, even as last week’s taste of Killington was such a tease.
