After nine months and an unprecedented amount of snow, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area has finally closed for the 2022/23 ski season.
Open since early November, the California ski resort was walloped by a record 700 inches of snow on the main mountain and 900 inches on the summit, meaning their season lasted a whopping 275 days. Though it’s not uncommon for some of the resort’s 28 chairlifts to still be running h in early July, it’s highly unusual for almost the entire mountain to be open until August. It’s so unusual, in fact, that it has only occurred twice before in the resort’s 70-year history.
