    Mammoth Still Formidable in California Drought

    ByEileen Ogintz February 14, 2014July 15, 2021

    With a trip to Mammoth planned back in October, it never occurred to me that in a few months I’d be hearing news about one of the worst droughts in California history. Sure, that’s bad news for the state’s water supply, bad news for agriculture, bad news for just about every facet of life. But most importantly — it’s bad news for ski trips. Call me an only child.

    At Deer Valley, the consensus seems to be no snowboarders

    ByEileen Ogintz February 12, 2014July 15, 2021
