The current snow depth is looking good, with 65 inches at the upper levels (11,050 ft) and 46 inches at the lower levels (7,949 ft). While there hasn't been any new snowfall in the last 24 hours, the mountain did see some fresh powder on January 3, 2025.

Now, let's talk weather. Today, you can expect a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures ranging from 7°F to 30°F at the summit. The winds are moderate, with gusts up to 20 mph in the lower areas and 35-45 mph higher up.
Looking ahead to the next five days, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Monday and Tuesday are expected to be clear and sunny, but don't get too excited – there's no new snow in the forecast. Wednesday and Thursday might see some fog rolling in, but it's still looking dry. It's not until Friday that there's a chance of some light snow showers, but nothing too significant.
Piste conditions are currently a mix of artificial and natural snow, with some firm and icy surfaces, especially after the recent warm spell. Off-piste conditions are more variable, with wind and sun transforming fresh snow into wind crust or slushy layers. Remember, skiing off-piste isn't always controlled or patrolled, so be sure to check local advice and ski with safety kit.
The season total snowfall is still building, but it's worth noting that last year's 22/23 winter season was the snowiest on record, with over 700 inches at the Main Lodge and close to 900 inches at the summit.
Before you head out, don't forget to check the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation's First Tracks event, which took place on January 4, 2025. It's a great way to support a good cause and get exclusive early access to the slopes.
Lastly, keep an eye on the long-range forecast, which suggests a change in the pattern around January 21, potentially bringing some much-needed snowfall to end the month. Until then, enjoy the current conditions and make the most of your time on the mountain. Happy skiing and snowboarding.
