About 100,000 years ago, the most recent of these eruptions formed the Mammoth Knolls, low hills just north of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Mammoth Mountain, a young volcano on the rim of Long Valley Caldera, was built by numerous eruptions between 220,000 and 50,000 years ago.
The resort occasionally enjoys a longer season, as in 2005, when it opened in October and did not close until the 4th of July. The 1994 â 1995 season was Mammoth Mountain's longest, over ten months, with the resort operating from October 8 until August 13.. Mammoth receives an average of 400 in (1,000 cm) of snow per season, though during the 2010 â 2011 season the resort recorded a record accumulation of 661 in (1,680 cm). As recently as the 1980s, senior citizens skied Mammoth for free. As of 2006, those aged at least 80 years may ski free.
