Mammoth Mountain Snow & Weather Conditions on 12-22-2014


The window-cast shows clear skies over Mammoth Mountain. We currently have access to some great packed powder conditions from Chair 4 up to the top of the mountain. At times the wind has been blowing just perfect to create that nice soft powdered sugar surface out on the groomers and off piste.

Mammoth Mountain Conditions PM Update 12-12-2014 | MammothSnowman.com


Looking at snow totals as of 2PM, so far at the 9000 foot level we have 13 inches of snow with 1.37 of water content. Up top an estimated 17 – 20 inches of new snow at this point in time. At the 8175 foot level I just measured 7 inches of new settled snow, with light snow flakes falling. Looking at the radar we have 2 more waves of light precipitation to move thru and more showers after that. Mammoth could see 1-5 inches of additional snow by the morning.

Big Storm on the Way for Mammoth Mountain with 1-3+ Feet of Snow Possible


A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for Thursday into Friday, the snowfall outlook at this time is for 18-24 inches of new snow by Saturday morning at the 9000 foot level. And up to 28-34 inches of new snow from MC Coy Station up to the top of Mammoth Mountain. Down in town a good 10-20 inches is in the forecast depending on you’re elevation. Snow levels look to start at 7500 feet and drop down to 6000 feet for some powder on top of the new base snow. When will also this snowfall start? It’s looking like mid to late day Thursday and last into mid day Friday. By late Friday the snowfall should turn to snow showers and then end early Saturday. Next week we have more snow in outlook!

Mammoth Weather Guy Storm Forecast Update 12-2-2014 6PM | MammothSnowman.com


Light to moderate snowfall will pick up again overnight and continue at times through Wednesday night with just a few breaks and snow showers ending Thursday afternoon. About 8” has already fallen at the Main Lodge and another foot or slightly more should fall by the time the snow ends Thursday with about 3 feet up top. Dry weather returns Friday with just a very slight chance for light snow showers or flurries early Saturday. Sunday and into early next week should be dry with just clouds at times with the next chance for snow around Thursday/Friday next week and this could be a good storm. Another chance will occur around the 15th. Overall though, a major storm cycle is not expected at this time through mid-December or so.

It's Snowing - Expecting 2-3 feet up Top! | MammothSnowman.com


The window cast shows moderate to heavy snow falling at times with no real winds from town and up to the main lodge. Looking at radar we might be getting a break from the snow in a hour. So far we have picked up 5.5 inches here in the slopes on my spa that sits out in a open space. Up at the Snow Study site at 9000 feet there is 7 inches of new snow. Snow Levels have been way below what was forecast with 2-3 inches of snow at Toms Place.

Time for a Storm - Expecting 3-4 feet up Top! | MammothSnowman.com


Mammoth Mountain, California - 12-1-2014 - 8:01 AM - We are still expecting a nice sierra cement base building snow storm event for Mammoth Mountain….. QPF & Snowfall totals according to our own Mammoth Weather Guy, around 3-4+ inches of water at 6/8:1 snow fall rations. We could see 2 – 3 feet at Main with as much as 3-4 feet of heavy wet snow up top by Thursday morning. Snow levels are forecast to be around 8500 – 9000 feet for Tuesday. As the day moves on we could see snow levels down to 8000 and then 7500 on Tuesday night. There should be enough snow for 2-3 plows above 8000 feet and at least one in the lower parts of town.
