August 8th, 2022 @ 10 AM – Good morning, the monsoonal flow is making a new push into the area after a dry Saturday and Sunday.

To Recap, last Friday was the most productive day for rain this Summer, with Bishop getting .70, Mammoth Lakes 1.05, and a couple of inches of rain over the higher elevations of Mammoth Mountain.

If you look closely on the MC Coy webcam you can see the erosion runnels on Cornice Bowl. That same effect took place all over the hill, the bike park crew has been scrambling trying to fix everything back to normal.

All this rain and moist air have cooled the area off nicely, yes it’s a bit muggy but it sure beats heat, smoke, and firestorms.

If you’re planning on an Outdoor Adventure Monday into Wednesday expect a 50% chance of Thunderstorms with heavy rain possible under any storms that fire off.

I would beware of possible flash flooding today and on Tuesday. Wednesday looks to be the day the storms start to back off to be more isolated with less rainfall potential.

What’s Up? I hope you have all been having a great Summer. It been just fantastic up here in Mammoth Lakes and around the Eastern Sierra.

There have had some warm and dry days and then last two weeks the monsoonal flow came in. So far Air Quality has been a Gem expect for a couple days back in July. 

Right now it’s still really busy up here especially on the weekends. However with schools starting over the next couple weeks I would expect to start to see a slow down around mid month.

Lot’s of Summer still left, get on up here for some Adventure Time and at least a day in the Bike Park.

The Mammoth Mountain Bike Park is in really great shape with the dirt set up from all the rain at the end of last week. Some of the trails did experience some gully washers, but crews have cleaned the mess up and it’s looking great out there this morning. 

Let’s hope for more rain the next two afternoons so we get a refresh on the moisture. Nothing like riding in the park in the morning after a bit of rain has fallen.

Got some really great photos out on the hill just before the big storms hit, here is a link to that photo album.

We will be in the bike park Tuesday morning so expect some fresh videos and photos to be posted up on Wednesday. For the full details on Mountain Biking in the area check out our full report at this link.

Winter Sports is just over 100 days away now. Crews are working on upgrading the snow-making system. One of the goals I heard was they want to be able to blow more snow during the short early season windows the mountain gets.

They are also now upgrading Woolly’s Snow Tube Park with a ton more lanes and eventually, we hear this will be the home of the Summer Adventure Center. 

Have not seen any action yet on the new chair 16 and chair 1 replacement projects that are scheduled to be done in November of 2023. I also need to go by the Mill too and see if anything new is taking place.

I am out on the hill again riding my bike now 2 – 3 days a week so as I see work going on I will get some photos and videos of what’s being done.
