After 72 hours of snowy storm, today is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a shame the lifts aren’t running as some of the wind-blown terrain looks quite ski-able! Here are some pictures from about 10am this morning. Notice the gates being installed by the lifts – these are the new RFID gates. According to Mammoth Mountain, “This […]
This is two day’s worth. Oof-da.
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday’s dusting was just a warm-up compared to the truckload of snow Mother Nature is dumping on Mammoth today. I woke up this morning to the gloomy grey glow of winter – probably about 6 inches in town and over a foot and still going up at Main Lodge. […]
This morning I awoke to the sight of fresh snow on the mountain from my bedroom window. I wasn’t surprised after listening to rain on the roof for much of the night. Winter is approaching and there is a definite bite in the air even during the day. There is more on the way tonight […]
The date is set and the clock is ticking down to opening day at Mammoth Mountain. Officially the mountain is due to open on November 10th at 8.30; dependant on snow of course. It’s pretty exciting although I’d like summer to hang around just a little bit longer. After all you could still ski here […]
At last spring has arrived in Mammoth! It has been a long winter and a record one too. With over 600 inches falling during the season there is still a ton of snow on the hill. In town grass is appearing, the birds are chirping and the bears are scavenging. Conditions are great and we […]
Woolly celebrates his birthday next weekend at Canyon Lodge. No one I’ve asked really knows how old Woolly is, perhaps he is shy about his age. Anyhow, Mammoth Mountain is putting on a Winter Carnival at Canyon Lodge over the weekend to celebrate. Activities include, sled rides, snow mobile rides, performing artists, face painting and […]
The snow has arrived back at Mammoth in a big way, just in time for a busy Presidents’ Week! Since Wednesday about 6 feet of light powder has fallen from above turning the mountain back into a winter wonderland. It is shaping up to be a fantastic week with clear skies returning for those lucky […]
On Sunday we were lucky to get a great top up of snow which has rejuvenated the skiing at Mammoth. Before then it had been over three weeks of warm temperatures and sun that meant skiing off the groomed runs was a challenge and not so rewarding. This has all changed now though. From Sunday’s […]
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted so my apologies. January has been and gone and can be summed up in one word, SUNNY! I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed so many days of sunshine in a row during the winter before. Coming from New Zealand I’ve got use to seeing a […]
