A record breaking 17.65m of snow has fallen in the Californian resort. Which is why PlanetSKI is heading there next month once the ski season ends in Europe. Check out the images.

Mammoth Mountain has officially surpassed its season snowfall record, previously set in the 2010/11 season.

“There’s an incredible 17.65 metres of snowfall in total so far this season,” said the resort in a statement.

“The resort has already extended its winter season through July and is yet to set a closing date so visitors will be skiing and riding well into the summer months.”
