Skip work and go snowboarding (or skiing).
From Joani Lynch at Mammoth Mountain:
A powerful storm hit the Eastern Sierra over the weekend dropping up to 18 inches of snow on Mammoth Mountain. By late Sunday, resort operators made the decision to open the slopes for skiing and riding on Monday, November 3, a full 10 days prior to schedule.
Mammoth's high elevation and a firm commitment to the pursuit of playing big will pay off for skiers and snowboarders when Broadway Express opens at 9am on a base of 6-12 inches.
