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—think fresh powder turns and that classic Sierra storm magic that's got locals grinning ear to ear. The base at Main Lodge sits at a solid **70 inches**, with deeper stashes up high hitting 5-8 feet from mid-mountain to the 11,053-foot summit, thanks to recent dumps including 44-63 inches across the resort from the monster storm earlier this week. You've scored **10+ inches** of Alta powder at 9,000 feet since early morning, piling on top of 7-12 inches in the last 24 hours and 2-3 feet over the past week—perfect for linking those dreamy lines.
Only **8 of 25 lifts** are spinning today as ski patrol crushes avalanche control post-storm, starting with the lowest ones from 9 AM—no rush, grab extra coffee while they prep the goods. Lower mountain runs boast **packed powder** and groomers that firm up fast in the morning but soften with SW flow, while off-piste delivers wind-buffed duff over hardpack—tune those edges for max fun in trees off Chairs 3, 5, 22, and 25. Cornice Bowl's wind-buffed perfection, Scotties is firm and speedy, and Dave's Run hides playful lines; parks are firing except Main Lodge halfpipe, with US Tour build-out looming.
Weather's stormy with **moderate to heavy snowfall**, temps in the mid-30s at the lodge (colder up top around 22°F with SW winds gusting 20-65 mph)—bundle up for whiteout potential. Looking ahead, snow showers ramp up tonight into tomorrow with 6-18 inches possible, then a bluebird break Thursday-Friday (highs near 27-32°F), before more clouds and freshies next week. Season total? Snowfall's at about 75% of average so far, but with Mammoth's legendary 400-inch norm and recent blasts, we're chasing records like the 700+ inch 22/23 beast.
Pro tip: Patience pays—lifts open staggered, backcountry's high avy risk, and lower terrain's primed for powder hounds. No better spot for California turns; get after it safely and score those untracked stashes!
