A set of atmospheric rivers that brought heavy rains and floods to California also dumped a record amount of snow on Mammoth Mountain in January — 20½ feet, the most in the resort town's history, local tourist officials announced.

"What a time it is to be at Mammoth," the announcement said on MammothMountain.com, which represents area resorts. "Conditions are all-time, get out there and have the 'best pow day of your life.' "

The mountain has received 246 inches of snow since Jan. 1, blasting through the old monthly record of 209 inches. The resort town has received more than 29 feet of snow since the ski season began last year.
