Summary
The snowpack currently sits at a solid 46 inches—about 86% of the seasonal average—providing ample coverage across much of the resort. While the forecast only calls for a light dusting of 0.04 inches over the next 72 hours, the existing snow is holding well thanks to lower temps and dry weather, making for fast groomers and playful tree runs. The Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is at 7.1 inches, indicating decent snow moisture content and good skiable quality despite a lack of recent snowfall.
Skiers are reminded to stay alert and cautious following recent avalanche activity. Just days ago, a major inbounds avalanche reportedly swept through part of the mountain, tragically claiming the life of a ski patroller. Patrol teams have since ramped up mitigation efforts, and affected areas remain under close watch. Meanwhile, Mammoth continues to buzz with energy thanks to newly opened terrain and the debut of its state-of-the-art D-Line Chairlift, ensuring quicker access to upper zones. While conditions remain stable, always check for avalanche warnings and terrain updates before heading out.
