MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN, CA – A winter storm dropped almost two feet of new snow on Mammoth Mountain in the last 24 hours. The snowfall is a welcome reprieve from a relatively dry start to the winter season and with the Town of Mammoth Lakes booked through the New Years holiday, the storm hit just in time.

Snowfall began late Tuesday afternoon and is expected to continue through today. The powerful storm was accompanied by winds of up to 70 mph forcing limited operations on the California Ski Area Wednesday morning. Winds died down by mid-day and 14 lifts were operating. Forecasters are predicting an additional foot of snow by the time the system leaves the area. Once it clears, Mammoth expects to be in full operation for the first time this season.

Mammoth Mountain is currently reporting a base depth of 36-48 inch base with plenty of fresh snow for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy.
