The Mammoth Mountain snow report for May 05 is a 65" base depth with 9 of 25 lifts open. Please note ski conditions and snowfall at Mammoth Mountain are sourced directly from the ski resort and are only recorded during the official ski season's opening to closing dates.
Snow Reporter Comments: Dump Alert! We received 10-12" of new snow overnight making for a very exciting way to kick off May! Temperatures are very cold this morning, with it being in the teens at Main Lodge, so be sure to bundle up appropriately. This storm started out warm and wet, and as temperatures dropped overnight, it turned the snow into that blower fresh we all know in love. Roads are very slick out there, so drive with caution when heading up to the mountain this morning. Ski patrol is out mitigating avalanche danger, so be mindful of all rope closures and expect delays in mid and upper mountain lift operations. Note that the warm temps in the last few weeks have melted out a significant amount of snow off piste, so exercise an abundant amount of caution when exploring stashes as obstacles exist.
Operational Reminders: Canyon and Eagle Lodge are closed for the season. Please note that operating hours will shift to 7:30 AM-2:00 PM daily for skiing and riding beginning on Monday, May 6. The Tube Park at Woolly's Adventure Summit and Snowmobile Adventures are closed for the season as well. Party in the Park has been POSTPONED to Saturday, May 11 due to upcoming weather this weekend.
Broadway Express (Chair 1) is closed for the season as we begin putting in its replacement. Please note terrain is impacted in the surrounding area due to construction. Remember - we continue to ride out of Main Lodge and The Mill daily through Memorial Day!
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort Overview
With the highest lift-served terrain in the state of California at 11,053 feet and more than 3,500 acres of skiable terrain, Mammoth Mountain lives up to its name.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort lies on the eastern edge of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It’s 330 miles east of San Francisco and 310 miles north of Los Angeles, making for a five-to seven-hour drive.
Situated within hours of Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, and June Mountain, the resort provides a great starting point to explore the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Most visitors stay in the town of Mammoth Lakes, which offers up restaurants, bars and plenty to do for those seeking a nightlife scene.
Mammoth Mountain was founded in 1953 by Dave McCoy. It averages an impressive 400 inches of annual snowfall, allowing it to have one of the longest ski seasons in the country. In the winter of 2017, the resort was open from November to early August! The mountain is great for all levels, with options ranging from expansive bowls, tree skiing, wide groomers, steep chutes, halfpipes, and the world-class Unbound Terrain Parks.
