Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, California
Daily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California
Hey shredders, Mammoth Mountain is firing right now with a solid 12-40 inch base depth from the 7,953-foot base up to the 11,053-foot summit, perfect for carving those Sierra lines. Riders are lapping 13 of 25 lifts and a healthy chunk of 178 trails, including groomers like Fascination and Broadway with killer snowmaking coverage, though watch for rocks on entrances to runs like Solitude and Dropout. Fresh powder alert: 6 inches hit mid-Broadway on December 16, building a thick 2-3 foot base up top after some rain lower down—locals say it's heavy but prime for turns once it clears.
Today's vibe is partly cloudy with highs around 49°F and lows near 38°F, ideal for all-day sessions from 8:30am-4pm. Look ahead: expect mostly clear skies through the weekend with temps in the mid-50s°F, cooling to the 40s by mid-week, and a whisper of 1 inch new snow possible on Wednesday—prime for powder hounds. Pistes are smooth and firm on groomed runs like West Bowl and Canyon Lodge routes, but off-piste stays treacherous with rocks and variable light; stick to open terrain and avoid Cornice unless you're sending it carefully.
Season total snowfall is ramping up nicely toward Mammoth's epic 400-inch average, with December historically dropping 67 inches—snow guns are cranking on Broadway for more base building. Pro tip from the locals: upper mountain needs that next big storm for full glory, so pack layers and hit early to dodge afternoon fog. No major closures, but chains required on HWY 395—strap in for bluebird sends and that unbeatable apres buzz!
