First Dusting, is it snow or hail? Looks Like Snow!

7-9-2015 – 11:15 AM Good Day from the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. Things are looking very green on Mammoth Mountain at this time. They are also looking a bit white over the top of the ski area. As of 11 am we just broke out of hour long down pour that brought snow levels down to around MC Coy Station with snow sticking about half way down the face of chair 3. Hard to believe it s July 9th and we are getting pouring rain in down off and on and snow above 10,500 feet. I saw on Facebook that Saddlebag lake had like 2-3 inches of snow snow on the ground along with Tioga Pass being closed for some time while they plowed the road. Been a very long time since we have since crazy summer like this With the rain we have been getting the mountain bike park is prime shape with the dust having been cut way back to almost nothing. Highs today will be in the 50s at the Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge, lows are expected to be in the 40s. As we move thru the next couple days temps come back up into the 6
