California is officially open for the 2016-2017 season as Mammoth Mountain began spinning its lifts on the morning of Thursday, November 10th. 

And it wasn't just one lift and run. The top-to-bottom skiing included access to nine runs that were being serviced by three lifts. To give you an idea of just how good it was, we'll join hard charging Judd Henkes for quick lap off the summit. 

It's on in Cali, baby!
