Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
Hey shredders, Mammoth Mountain is dishing out epic winter vibes right now, with fresh powder calling your name despite some wild weather shaking things up. The base at Main Lodge sits at a solid 68 inches after 2-3 feet of new snow this week, while up top it's packing 5-8 feet from McCoy Station—perfect for bombing those steeps. Recent storms have dumped serious snow across the Sierra, with neighbors like Palisades Tahoe scoring 61+ inches, so Mammoth's likely feasting too, though exact 24/48-hour tallies are holding at recent dustings and machine-made goodness on Broadway and Stump Alley.
Conditions are firm and fast to start your day on groomers like Cornice Bowl, which is wind-buffed to perfection, but warming SW flows are softening things up for carving turns. Off-piste? Tune those edges for hardpack bases with wind-blown duff—prime lines in Drop Outs Apron and chutes off Cornice Bowl are still fun, but expect variable crust from winds. All Unbound Parks are fired up (halfpipe at Forest Trail shines midday), and with 25 lifts across 3,500+ acres, you've got 150 trails to rip, though Main Lodge ops are closed today due to deep snow and gale-force winds—stick to Canyon and Eagle Lodges for access.
Right now at the summit, it's a chilly 22°F with SW winds gusting 25+ mph, dropping to mid-30s at base under mostly cloudy skies and possible flurries. Overnight snow's heavy before 4am, lows near 1°F with 35 mph SW gusts to 55 mph—bundle up! Powder alert: 10 inches possible over the next 48 hours, starting with 2-3 inches today and 5-7 tomorrow at all levels.
Look ahead: Friday brings a bluebird break with highs near 27°F, then warming to low 30s Saturday under clouds. Sunday clears up to 34°F, Monday cloudy at 36°F, and Tuesday teases more new snow around 37°F—prime for multiple powder days if that troughy pattern delivers feet. Season total's tracking 75% of average so far, but this active stretch is flipping the script.
Pro tip: Winds are cranking, so check lifts real-time and watch for firm ice—grab that fresh tune and hit Scotties for fast fun into St Anton. Mammoth's delivering deep, deeper, deepest—pack the thermos and charge!
