Despite California having it’s lowest snowfall winter on record (and maybe in 1,000 years), Mammoth is going to be staying open until Memorial Day (May 25th) this year. “For the past 27 years, we’ve been skiing and riding on Memorial Day weekend and thanks to a little late season love from Mother Nature we’re doing it again! Snow is currently coming down hard at Main Lodge which means we’ll be spinning the lifts through Memorial Day. The gondola will reopen Fri May 22-Monday May 25.” – Mammoth […]

Mammoth Report: Nuking Snow Storm Day

A storm has been forecast to hit Mammoth all week and today, it came forth with fury. The day started off with light snow in town about 8am with no wind. By the time we got up onto the mountain around noon, the snow had already piled up somewhere around 1-3″ deep and the intensity of the snow kept ratcheting up. By the time we left the mountain today at 1:30pm, it was full-on nuking on the mountain and felt a helluva lot more like mi-February than May 14th. The wind was ripping across Chair 3 at 40mph the temperature at the base of the mountain at 1:30pm was 25ºF… […]

6 Ski Resorts Still Open in North America:

We lost some big ski resorts last weekend and we had one ski resort saved by a big snowstorm. Mammoth was scheduled to close yesterday but an 18-inch dump of snow extended their season indefinitely. They’ll certainly make it to May 17th and maybe longer. Mammoth might actually get more snow this week which could extend their season even longer. Mt. Bachelor, Snowbird, Lake Louise, and more all closed their doors for the season yesterday. California, Oregon, […]

Tahoe Backcountry Breakdown: Sierra Chuting Gallery

The last couple weeks have not brought much snowfall to the Tahoe basin, however there are plenty of good turns to be had if you play your cards right. Most worthy objectives will come in the form of springtime corn shredding, but there is still some recycled powder out there on sheltered high elevation north-facing slopes. Over the last week we checked out some of the classic couloirs of the Eastern Sierras and rowdy terrain of […]

Tahoe Backcountry Breakdown: Powder and Ice and Corn, Oh My

Only one word can describe how the skiing has been in the Tahoe backcountry the past few weeks: variable.
