Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California

Hey there, snow enthusiasts If you're planning to hit the slopes at Mammoth Mountain, California, here's the latest scoop on what you can expect.

Currently, the base at the Snow Study Site (9000 Feet) is 56 inches, with an estimated 48-60 inches at Mc Coy Station (9800 Feet) and an estimated 60-75 inches up Top (11,053 Feet). The base around the Canyon Lodge area is 2-3 feet, and at Little Eagle Lodge, it is 1-2 feet.

The last storm brought in 2.35 inches of water and 9-12 inches of snowfall, which has done a great job of covering up the ice layer that formed from previous rainfall. Conditions out on the hill are getting much better, with a nice chalky packed surface to ski on and some lower-end powder in a few spots.

Looking ahead, a significant snowfall event is expected to start late Wednesday night and continue through Friday. The forecast suggests 7-10 inches of snowfall by Thursday morning, followed by blizzard conditions during the day with heavy snowfall and strong winds. Accumulations could reach 34-42 inches at Main Lodge by Friday morning, with up to 48 inches up top.

For the next 5 days, here's what you can expect:
- Wednesday: No snowfall expected during the day, then moderate to heavy snowfall develops overnight.
- Thursday: Blizzard conditions during the day with heavy snowfall and strong winds.
- Friday: Moderate snowfall during the morning tapers off during the afternoon and ends the evening.
- Saturday: No snowfall expected.
- Sunday: No snowfall expected.

Piste and off-piste conditions are improving, with the recent snowfall helping to cover up icy patches. However, be prepared for changing conditions due to the upcoming storm.

The season total snowfall at the Snow Study Site is 123 inches, with monthly totals of 3.5 inches in October, 62 inches in November, 37 inches in December, and 9.5 inches in January.
