Good Morning from Mammoth Lakes, as of 7am am we are under cloudy skies with snow showers at times..

We expect a high of around 30 at the Main Lodge today.

Mammoth Mountain has a current base of 2 - 8 feet of Packed Powder, Wind Buff & Hard Pack Snow.

All lifts, Runs and Parks are now fully operational.  With the Holidays over now is the perfect time to check out Mammoth.

Time to hit up the hill now as things will be firming up over the next couple weeks with no new snow predicted.

Snow Report & Image Blog - Saturday 1-3-2008

Over the last week the snow has changed over to a wind buff, machine groomed packed surface.  Yes that means things have been firming up big time.  If you saw the wind buff video we did right before New Years then you have a real good idea what it has been like out on the hill. 

On Friday 1-2-08 we had a small storm front move through and the result was 2-3 inches of new snow on top of a base of 24-98 inches.  Snowman was out early on Saturday and three things stuck out:  1.Chair 15 had people to the back of the line 1/2 hour before opening.  wow that was a first.  2. The groomers looked firm and crunchy and they were in spots.  3. Beware of Dust on Crust.

We did find some great freshies out there, but you had to search them out.  With limited time to be on the hill today we focused on the Chair 25 & 9 areas for 2 hours of fun.

The top looked sick and I am hearing some great reports coming in about fresh tracks and great soft sugar buff up there.  The other report we got was "Watch out for hard spots".  We will have a full top report from Sunday posted here by early Monday morning. Video - Images from the Top and Sundays Peanut Butter Rail Jam!

The East Bowl Cloud was hiding all the goods that were up top!


The crowds were out EARLY for the last day of the Holiday Season. Look for things to slow down over the next few days. 


Freshies under Chair 25.


The Tree Riding was great early on.


It was cold on Saturday am with Snow Flakes Falling early on. 


Winter in Mammoth.  You can see Lake Mary and The Sherwin Range in this shot.  Notice the snow flakes in the center of this shot?


The Groomers were a mix of softer packed powder and crunchy firm pack.
