This last storm, Mammoth Mountain, CA got dumped on. They got 54โณ, taking their seasonโs total to 73โณ. Last season they saw 718โณ of snowfall, the second most in North America, and just 1โณ off top spot. But have you ever wondered why they get so much snow?
โTheyโve really picked the right mountain to put a ski area on. Couldnโt have done a better jobโฆโ โ Howard Sheckter, Weathercaster
In this short film, a NASA scientist, a weathercaster, a long-time Mammoth Mountain ski patroller and a professor of snow hydrology talk through the science of how Californiaโs big mountain home continually tops the snowfall charts.
