# Mammoth Mountain Snow Report: Late March Vibes
The Sierra is firing up after a warm, dry stretch, and Mammoth Mountain is in full spring mode right now. As of March 27, the mountain is sitting pretty with a 37-inch base at the lodge, though things are looking significantly deeper up top where you've got around 290 centimeters (roughly 9.5 feet) of snow at the summit. The base elevation is holding 102 centimeters, which tells you there's still plenty to work with as we head into April.
The bluebird days are rolling in this weekend with light winds and temps in the 50s, making for those classic spring corn conditions that make locals grin from ear to ear. Right now, 21 out of 25 lifts are spinning, and you've got 82 of the 89.8 skiable kilometers open, which means the terrain situation is solid. The groomers are wet and soft, and if you're hunting the best snow quality, Canyon over to the Outpost is where it's at, with some pockets of amazing spring snow still holding up on the upper mountain aspects.
Here's where things get interesting: the weather gods are about to flip the script. After this gorgeous weekend, significant snow is heading to the Sierra from Tuesday through early Friday next week, with forecasts calling for up to 30 inches potentially dumping on California resorts. For Mammoth specifically, expect around 4 centimeters of new snow rolling in Tuesday and Wednesday, with snow levels dropping throughout the week. This is exactly the kind of mid-season refresh skiers dream about in late March.
Looking at the extended outlook, temperatures will drop as the system moves in, creating freeze-thaw cycles that'll keep the upper mountain in good shape. The snow line will keep retreating as temperatures warm again, but that fresh powder arrival midweek should set up some seriously fun conditions by the weekend.
Seasonally, this has been a leaner year compared to recent monsters. The 2025-26 season has only picked up 244 inches total through March, a far cry from last year's 286 inches and nowhere near the legendary 715 inches of 2022-23. March especially has been stingy with just 1 inch reported so far, but that incoming system should inject some life back into the snowpack heading into April. The mountain is scheduled to keep operating through June 7, so plenty of spring skiing still ahead.
Get out there and soak it up while those bluebird days last, because that wintry system rolling in is going to change the game for the next push.
