Mammoth Mountain surpasses 300 inches of snowfall for the season

One of California’s most popular ski resorts reached and surpassed a major snowfall milestone.

Officials for Mammoth Mountain say more than 300 inches of snowfall have fallen at the resort since the season began.

More than 12 inches fell overnight leading into Thursday.

That impressive snowfall total will allow Mammoth’s ski season to remain open through at least Memorial Day, May 27.

Officials said the recent snowfall in the Eastern Sierra is just the “first wave” of a spring storm cycle that could bring even more snow to the mountain resort through the upcoming weekend.

Part of that same storm system is expected to bring wet weather and cool temperatures to Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire and Orange County.

This ski and snowboard season at Mammoth Mountain kicked off early, starting up in November — only 100 days after the previous ski season ended.

That previous ski season lasted into August after the mountain received a record-setting 700 inches of snowfall.
