California's Mammoth, Big Bear extend their seasons (and yes, you’ll be skiing into summer)

Mammoth Mountain, enjoying its heaviest snowfall in a decade, will extend its skiing and boarding season into July.

Although resort officials haven’t set a specific season-ending date, they confirmed in an email that the mountain will keep ski operations going through “AT LEAST July” (their capital letters).

Mammoth Mountain spokeswoman Lauren Burke said the resort has frequently remained open into the summer during years of heavy snow. However, it “has never announced an extension of this length of time, this early in the season.”
