The big snowfalls in Western North America have allowed resorts to open terrain features early.
Copper Mountain in Colorado has opened its superpipe already, claiming to be the first in North America.
In California, Mammoth's Unbound Terrain Park will, "continue to evolve" through the coming winter the resort says.
Extensive dirt work was completed through the summer to the half pipes at Main and Canyon Lodges to ensure the earliest possible opening.
The Art Park, a hit last year in its inaugural season, will be returning with Jamie Lynn as the featured artist designing a whole new array of features. Resort partners Monster Energy and Oakley will be creating their own unique terrain features to add to Mammoth's fleet of over 90 rails, boxes and jibs.
The U.S. Snowboarding and Freeskiing Grand Prix, the West Coast Invitational and the ongoing Mammoth Concert Series will highlight the event lineup bringing activities and music to Mammoth throughout the season.
Mammoth is also opening a new snow tube park this winter just above The Village at Mammoth.
Families will also enjoy new kids dining options at all food venues and the return of a winter full of family events including the Night of Lights and Woolly's Winter Carnival.
