Hello Adventurers,
Consider this winter’s early victory lap. Mammoth Lakes is stacked with fresh powder after a storm cycle that seriously delivered.
Over this past weekend, Mammoth Mountain went big. We saw 29 inches of fresh snow, and even a few more bonus inches dropped this morning—pushing the season total to a hefty 155 inches. Since Christmas Eve, when winter flipped the switch, the mountain has stacked more than 8.5 FEET of snow, and the energy around town is full send.
The storms have officially clocked out, and bluebird days are clocking in. Think nonstop sunshine paired with peak winter conditions—skiing, riding, sledding, snowshoeing, and some serious snowball rivalries.
Soak it all in while you’re here, and remember: patience, consideration, and kindness go a long way. Here’s to powder turns, Sierra peaks, and pure Mammoth fun.
