8-31-2015 – Mammoth Mountain Weather Forecast

8-31-2015 – 7:02AM– Good Monday Morning from Mammoth Lakes.   Clear skies at this time as the upper level winds are blowing the smoke band south of Mammoth.  We expect to see the band of smoke work it s way back into the Mammoth area later today.  There is no way to forecast for sure when the smoke will make it to Mammoth Lakes each day.  If the fires explodes smoke will become moderate at times.  Of course this is all from the The Rough fire that has been going for a month now. Current Conditions:  Here at the 8175 foot level I have a 44, at main lodge its 44 and at the top of Mammoth Mountain it s 50. Winds are WSW at Main to 5-13 MPH and up top SW to 5-15 MPH.  The humidity level is at  53% and dew points are at 28.4°F. Mammoth Lakes Forecast:  Highs will be in the 70s in town with 60s on Mammoth Mountain and up in the Lakes Basin.  With the 50 s above the 9500 foot level.  Lows in the area will be in the 40s for all elevations.   Expect southwest winds 15 t

8-22-2015 – Hazy Smoky Skies… Cancel that taste of Fall!

8-21-2015 – 1 PM – Hello from Mammoth Lakes, unfortunately we have lost our clear blue skies. At this time we have very hazy skies from dissipating smoke from the Rough fire.  The smoke now stretches from south of Ridgecrest all the way up to Reno and beyond. After days of mostly clear skies in Mammoth Lakes the Rough fire exploded on Thursday and is causing so much smoke out put that there is no way to escape it s grip until the fire backs down.   We expect to see periods of off and on smoke until we get some rain and or snow into the Sierra.   No sign of that happening in the next week to 10 days. We where expecting a big cool down this week, but you can cancel that as well.  It s going to be September until we get the real cool down we are waiting for. Current weather conditions: As of this post I have a temperature here at 8175 of 72, we have a 81 at the Mammoth Airport and a 77 at Footloose Sports.  Up at the Main Lodge it’s 68 and at the top of Mammoth Mountain it is

History of Mammoth Mountain Opening and Closing Dates | MammothSnowman.com

One of the main stats I have always loved to look at was the opening and closing dates overs the years at Mammoth Mountain. They used to included this information right in the history of Mammoth Mountain Snowfall chart but it got deleted when they updated that spread sheet a few years back. Below is a list of the open and closing dates we have at this time. At some point we will try to go forward and back in time to complete this entire list. I will put a call into Dave MC Coy, maybe he has it written down for the real early days of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. As a added bonus we have a desktop screen shot of the old snowfall history for Mammoth Mountain that included the dates we have listed below for you. Enjoy the information and I look forward to meeting you out on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain.

Mammoth Lakes & Mammoth Mountain Weather Forecast

8-11-2015 – 7:10 AM – Good morning everyone we have very smokey skies in the area from smoke that is coming from the rough fire. PM 10 counts are above 100 this morning. It would be a good morning to curtail aerobic work outs. If your sensitive to smoke, we would advise you to stay inside or leave the area as we expect this moderate smoke to be with us the next few days. We are hoping by the weekend things will clear out. Right now the Rough fire has zero containment so we will wait and see what happens. Of course there will be an update later today on the smoke. Current weather conditions: As of this post I have a temperature here at 8175 of 51, up at the Main Lodge it’s 49 and at the top of Mammoth Mountain it is 48. Winds are 0-3 in town, WSW 20-25 MPH at Main Lodge and over the higher elevations winds are out of the SSW @ 25-34 MPH this morning.

But that’s what happened at the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii’s Big Island on Friday morning. The combination of passing thunderstorms and near-freezing temperatures led to 1.5 inches of snow and icy conditions, according to a ranger’s report.
