Mammoth Mountain will open Friday for skiing and snowboarding

Mammoth Mountain Ski Area has announced plans to open Friday. It's the second-earliest opening
for the resort and almost a month sooner than the scheduled opening date of Nov. 12.

The storm moving through the area dumped at least two feet of snow at Main Lodge and significantly more on the upper slopes.

Free lift tickets are being offered for Friday, with only Broadway Express operating beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Good news for Los Angeles skiers and snowboarders.

Free special season passes are being given away to ski and snowboard at Mt Baldy by the Mt Baldy Chamber of Commerce.

Mt Baldy is the closest ski resort to most of Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire and all of Orange County.

These free special season passes are being offered by the Mt Baldy Chamber of Commerce on a limited time basis and may be withdrawn at any time without notice.

There are a few restrictions and a one-time 49.95 activation fee, but that's it. No more searching for discount ski lift tickets. Ski for free all season.
