8-30-2022 – 72 Days until the scheduled opening at Mammoth Mountain. And for those who say good luck, over the last 30 years, Mammoth Mountain has only delayed one of these early openers and that was by 2 days.

As far as upgrades go crews are working on replacing the liner in the snowmaking pond. So far they ripped out the old liner and then regraded the entire pond. Next up is getting the new liner laid in and sealed. Once that’s done they can start to pump water back into the reservoir.

New snowmaking lines are being laid out on Stump Alley and Broadway from what I have seen so far. I plan to be back out on the hill on my bike right after Labor Day and will get an update on what’s going on at that time.

There has also been a major grading and tree removal down at Woolly’s Snow Tube Park. Look for more sledding lanes this winter.

The mountain is building a 4 season adventure center at this location so look for more construction here over the next couple of Summers.

There are plans to build a mountain coaster from the top of the old Sledz course just above the sledding lanes.

That’s all for now, time to start this winter’s specifics exercise routines. I got rolling on 8/21, time to get on it if you’re slacking. 🙂
