Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
Hey shredders, Mammoth Mountain is firing up early season action with 15-16 of 25 lifts spinning and packed powder on groomed runs—perfect for carving those first turns of the season! Base depths sit at 12 inches down low, stretching to 12-40 inches higher up, while the summit boasts a fresh 2-3 foot base from recent heavy snow up top, thanks to 6 inches of dense powder on mid-Broadway as of November 16.
No new snow in the last 24 or 48 hours, but Mother Nature's teasing with snowmaking guns blasting on Broadway and McCoy—expect more coverage soon as cold snaps hit. Season total is building fast toward Mammoth's legendary 400-inch average, with historical Decembers dumping 67 inches on average.
Right now, clear skies and mild temps rule: highs around 54°F today dropping to 35°F overnight, warming to 58°F tomorrow under partly cloudy vibes. Look ahead—the next five days stay mostly dry and sunny with highs climbing to 49°F by Thursday, lows in the 30s, but keep eyes peeled for fresh flakes possible by December 17.
Pistes are groomed and ready, with off-piste still developing that thick base—stay cautious on tree wells and avalanches up high. World Cup run's serving up the day's best snow, wide and smooth from Saddle Bowl. Kids Ski Free Week is on, so bring the fam for epic vertical (3,100 feet across 3,500 acres).
Locals tip: Upper mountain needs another big storm to fully unleash, but snowmaking's reliable through February. Bundle up against those Sierra winds, stick together for safety, and snag those first-chair laps—Mammoth's delivering big smiles already!
