Last Saturday, was a powder day at Mammoth, CA. Â We watched it snow heavily on the mountain Friday evening on the webcams and knew that Saturday was going to be special. Â Before bed, we saw about 4″ of new snow on the patio furniture at mid-mountain.
We got to Mammoth early on Saturday and grabbed first chair on Chair 23rd. Â We weren’t disappointed. Â The snow was 4-5″ deep and plastered on everything. Â You could go fast and arc huge turns down Chair 23.
Saturday was the 5th mini-powder day in a row at Mammoth last week.
To have a powder day on May 24th was a true gift, especially in the this drought-filled season. Â Mammoth saw 28″ of snow in May making May the 3rd snowiest month of 2014/15 winter at Mammoth. Â May was snowier than January, November, and March this season.
Mammoth was incredible this May once again. Â Mammoth is the place to be in the month of May.
Mammoth is now closed for the season. Â They’ll reopen again on November 11th, 2015.
Kinda like a Miracle May. The Mtn receives snow from all directions, with typical windloading over the top. Truly, an Epic Mtn (even in a drought)! ski ya
