Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
Hey shredders, Mammoth Mountain is firing up for an epic powder chase right now! After a dry stretch, the Sierra's flipping the script with incoming storms that have locals buzzing. As of early this weekend, summit temps hover around 22°F with southwest winds gusting 20-26 mph up top and lighter 2-7 mph at Main Lodge base, under mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-30s to low 40s. No fresh snow reports in the last 24-48 hours, but that very firm base is primed for the dump ahead—think lighter turns on a solid foundation once it hits.
Gear up for the next five days: Today and tomorrow stay cloudy with temps 33-37°F and building winds to 25+ mph gusts. Monday-Tuesday unleashes 10-14 inches of new snow each day, dropping to 24-32°F with snow levels crashing low for quality flakes at ratios up to 15-20:1. Wednesday piles on another 14 inches amid 19-24°F chill and gusty SW winds 35-65 mph higher up—hold onto your beanies! Thursday eases to 3 inches at 24°F dropping to -1°F overnight, then Friday's fresh snow at frigid 24°F/-6°F lows before clearing Saturday. Total incoming: 24 inches next 48 hours, 28 inches over seven days, straight to resort level. A monster system could stack feet through the 21st, but keep expectations real—hype's everywhere online.
Pistes are firm and fast from recent wind-scoured action, ideal for carvers, while off-piste demands caution with those gusts and check avalanche risks before ducking ropes. Season snowfall? Mammoth's averaging 400 inches long-term, but this year's tally isn't pinned down yet—plenty deep enough at 11,053-foot summit for big-mountain grins. Lifts and trails? All systems go on 3,500 acres, 300 sunny days typical, but tune into resort cams for real-time opens amid wind holds.
Pro tip: Bundle for sub-zero nights, chase midweek Wednesday for prime Sierra pow, and dodge wind-exposed ridges. Winter Storm Warnings are flying—visitors, pack the thermals and avalanche gear. Time to link turns and live that Mammoth dream! Who's dropping in?
