SKI & WINTER | SIERRA NEVADA
Just in time for the Christmas rush, Mammoth Mountain received 2 feet of fresh snow early last week and was expecting another significant storm, with as much as 2 more feet of snow late Thursday, as the Travel section was going to press. The resort was planning to have more than 20 lifts open this weekend, including a new high-speed lift that takes the place of Chair 9. It will whisk skiers from the Eagle Lodge side of the mountain to Dragon's Back (10,371 feet) in six minutes. The same storm systems that hit lower in the state left Squaw Valley near Lake Tahoe with several feet of new powder, and snow depth reached 95 inches high on the hill.
