Mammoth Mountain Mid-January: 100% Open, Deep Snow, and Fewer Crowds
Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
The mountain is firing on all cylinders right now, with Mammoth sitting pretty at 100% open and ready to deliver some serious fun. As of mid-January, you're looking at a solid 60-plus inch base at Main Lodge, 78 inches over at McCoy Station, and a hefty 94 inches up top at the summit. That's the kind of depth that makes any skier's heart sing, especially when you've got 24 out of 25 lifts running and basically all the terrain available to explore.
The snow quality right now is absolutely lovely—machine-groomed packed powder on all the groomed runs with some skier and rider-packed powder off the beaten path. The conditions are holding strong thanks to a light northeast flow keeping everything in excellent shape above 9,200 feet. If you're into off-piste adventures, you'll find some nice stashes of powder depending on wind exposure and how much sun has hit various aspects.
Looking ahead at the next five days, expect mostly clear skies with freeze-thaw conditions dominating. Temperatures will be hovering around the high 40s to low 50s at the base during the day and dipping into the mid-20s at night, which is typical January weather that actually helps preserve snow quality. The immediate forecast shows very light new snow likely over the next week, with maybe a centimeter or so possible around January 22nd. There's no significant snowfall on the horizon for the next several days, but the mountain has fantastic snow reliability with an average of 400 inches annually and the season typically running strong through June.
With the holiday crowds finally thinning out and midweek traffic staying light, you'll find fewer people on the hill right now—perfect timing if you're looking to maximize runs and minimize lift lines. The mountain's 3,500 skiable acres and 180 named trails mean there's plenty of terrain to keep you entertained, whether you're cruising groomers or hunting ungroomed powder. Bring layers for the temperature swings, and you're set for an excellent ski day in one of California's most reliable snow destinations.
