Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
Get ready to shred the gnar at Mammoth Mountain, California, where the snow is piling up and the vibes are electric. As of February 12th, the current snow depth at the base is 51 inches at the Snow Study Site (9,000 feet), with an estimated 48-60 inches at McCoy Station (9,800 feet) and 60-70 inches at the summit (11,053 feet)[2].
In the last 24 hours, 6.1 inches of new snow have fallen, with a total of 18 inches in February so far. The season total snowfall is at 135 inches, and it's only getting better[2]. The base around Canyon Lodge is 2-3 feet, and at Little Eagle Lodge, it's 1-2 feet, so you can bet on some epic runs.
Currently, 23 out of 24 lifts are open, giving you access to a vast playground of powder and groomed trails[4]. The temperature at the summit is a chilly 13 degrees, with an SSW wind at 30 MPH, gusting to 36 MPH. Down at the Main Lodge (8,900 feet), it's a bit warmer at 29 degrees, with an SSW wind at 6 MPH, gusting to 21 MPH[2].
But here's the thing: a Winter Storm Warning is in effect from Wednesday night to Friday night, and it's going to be a doozy. Expect moderate to heavy wet snowfall, with 5-10 inches near Toms Place, 10-18 inches near Crowley Lake, and 12-18 inches near the Mammoth Airport to the 203 exit. The roads will be slick, so be prepared to chain up and drive slow, even if you have a 4x4[2].
On Thursday, it's going to be a "Rider of the Storm Day," with only a few lifts running at 8:30 AM out of Canyon and Eagle Lodge. The snowfall ratios will be around 10-1 in the morning, and 7-8:1 by the afternoon, with several inches of higher ratio snow expected Thursday night into Friday[2].
By the weekend, the entire mountain should be open, with fresh powder on top of all the new base snow. The Unbound Parks are all open and built out, and crews are working on finishing the Half-Pipe in the Unbound Main and the big slopestyle course on Broadway[2].
So, what are you waiting for? Get your gear ready, check the lift and trail status, and get ready to ride the storm out at Mammoth Mountain. And don't forget to grab a free hot wax at Fast Ski Sports or 20% off at Black Tie Ski Rentals – you're going to need it[2].
