“Mammoth Mountain welcomes the first day of autumn with style! (9/22/13)” – photo and quote from Barbara Richter of Mammoth Lakes.  The cooling off  blew into all of the Eastern Sierra with chilly night time temperatures and lots cooler days.  With the official day of Autumn ushering in a white coating of Mammoth Mountain, come hopes for a very snowy year to make living here easier and to give the environment what it needs.
