Summer still has a few days left, but that didn’t stop Mother Nature last night from dusting the mountains at Mammoth with snow.

“The transition from Summer to Winter has begun,” said a posting this morning on the resort’s Facebook page.

Indeed it has.

This is the last weekend for summer activities at the Mammoth base area, including the Mammoth Bike Park, says a resort spokesman. Then the focus turns to the 2019-20 ski and snowboard season, which starts Saturday, Nov 9.

The resort is offering discounts on lift tickets and lodging, if purchased by Nov. 8. For information, visit www.mammothmountain.com/email-landing-winter/earlywintersavings

With lows in the 20s tonight and Friday night, there’s the potential for a little more of the white stuff, according to The Weather Channel.
