Ski Report for Mammoth Mountain, CaliforniaDaily Ski Conditions for Mammoth Mountain, California# Current Mammoth Mountain Ski ReportWell, well, well—if it isn't Sunday, November 30th, and we're looking at what might be the start of something special at Mammoth. Let's dive into what's happening on the mountain right now and whether it's worth planning that trip.First, the snow situation. The mountain is sitting pretty with 102 centimeters (about 3.3 feet) at the summit and 30 centimeters (just under one foot) at the base. That's respectable for late November, especially considering we just wrapped up what the locals are calling a "mild" November overall. The last significant snowfall hit on November 22nd, so the snow quality is currently gripping—which means good adhesion and solid skiing conditions. The mountain has been accumulating snow steadily, and earlier in the week, fresh powder conditions made for some excellent turns up top.Looking at what's open right now, you've got 31 of the 89.8 kilometers of slopes available, which translates to about 35 percent of the terrain. That might sound modest, but it's actually pretty decent for late November. Sixteen of the 25 lifts are spinning, giving you solid access to the skiable terrain. Main Lodge is definitely in play, and if you're feeling adventurous, there's a decent chance Cornice Bowl is open too.Today's weather is mostly clear with a high of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a low around 24 degrees. Winds are running at 14 miles per hour, which should make for some exciting riding if you're heading up the mountain. The conditions are crisp and cold, which is exactly what you want this time of year.Looking ahead at the next five days, things get interesting. Tomorrow through midweek, expect mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering in the 50s to 60s at lower elevations—pretty mild for skiing. The upper mountain will stay cold enough to preserve conditions, which is key. By late next week and the first weekend of December, there's actually some potential for a moderately deep upper-level low to drop in from the Gulf of Alaska, bringing the possibility of a few inches of new snow. We're talking maybe a few inches favored, potentially up to five inches if everything aligns perfectly. Not a bluebird powder day scenario, but enough to freshen things up nicely and potentially push more terrain to opening status.The piste conditions are solid right now with that gripping quality, and the off-piste situation is variable depending on wind exposure and sun aspect, but the cold temperatures should help preserve any stashes you find.One more thing worth noting: Mammoth typically opens by Thanksgiving and averages around 400 inches of snowfall annually, so this season is just getting rolling. If you're planning a trip, now's a good time to check in as more terrain comes online through December.The best deals on gear https://amzn.to/49QUryFThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
