October Snow

It is early October and Lake Tahoe has received it’s first major snow deposit. Mountains on all corners of the lake are blanketed in snow. As of writing this post the temp at Mammoth Mountain is 40 degrees and the have a 6-8″ base. That is wonderful news for skiers and snowboards looking for a big winter season.

Check the live webcams at Mammoth if you don’t believe me:

Mammoth and other ski resorts around the lake are scheduled to open in early November. Most have activities, discounted rates, free food & drinks, etc. to celebrate the opening of the lifts. If this early snow keeps up I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some October openings!
