SNOW IS HERE!!

Well mother nature has surely heard California's prayers! This last week our mountain regions received a considerable amount of snow to kick off the snow season early and our valleys and deserts were blessed with a decent amount of rain as well. Of course, this is not a sure thing that we will be experiencing El Nino, we will have to wait and see what happens. Although, this is a good sign of what may be coming for the upcoming season!

Opening day for Mammoth Mountain November 5th, 2015

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the California resorts are proclaiming this the beginning of the best season in years since we have been suffering through a drought which has really affected our winter past times. Mammoth Mountain opened this morning a week early.

 Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe opened just a day earlier on November 4th. Many other resorts are being a little more conservative, ensuring that there is quality coverage for their opening day and seeing if they can get a more solid base before opening. In past years, an early opening can sometimes result in closing down for several weeks due to an unexpected heat wave. I believe all of California is (or at least should be) embracing our cold front and wet weather as we are expecting and hoping it to stay through the duration of the winter. 

Bear, Mountain High, Snow Valley, Snow Summit, June Mountain,Mount Baldi and many other resorts are holding off on announcing an opening date. We will all stay tuned and continue our rain/snow dances in the meantime!
