SOTC! November 28, 2010! Big POW at Mammoth & Lake Tahoe Resorts! Hello Sliders! What a start to the ski season. Mammoth Mountain has had over 93" of snow already this season, with 9"-15" of fresh POW in the last 24 hours. If you think that's fantastic, Tahoe has just been slammed. Kirkwood has reported nearly 200" of snow already this season and all the major resorts are well north of the century mark. Temperatures have remained cold, keeping the snow in amazing condition. Take a look at some of the Sugar Bowl photos, and you'll see that this is likely the best November opening in perhaps 10 or 20 years. *Facebook Get the inside skinny on non-published deals and locals tips from the SOTC Crew!
