Mammoth Mountain 5-10-Day Extended Outlook

2-18-23 – As of this post, you can expect a new series of storms to be moving through the Mammoth Mountain area starting late next Tuesday into Friday with a break next weekend and then more snow the following week possibly into early March.

Looking at the newest data this morning this new weather pattern looks to be capable of bringing in some epic light and dry powder up on Mammoth Mountain. Over snowfall accumulations will be on the lower levels with 1-2 feet of snow possible in the 5-10 Day outlook period.

With all the cold air in place and with the track these systems will be taking, you can expect some light and dry Alta-like powder out on the mountain off the groomed runs. The groomers will turn to a nice soft and quiet mid winter packed powder.

The GEFS keeps the snow show going at times right up to the last day of winter on March 21st, 2023. Please note none of the fantasy outlooks have a big AR hook up just nice cold air with light to moderate amounts of fresh powder.
