Mammoth Mountain Weather – The Long-Range Fantasy Outlook
5-3-24 – In the Long-Range Fantasy Outlook, winter will be over, and late Spring weather will take over as the calendar approaches the 10th of May. The dryer and warmer weather is showing up on the ECMWF ENSEMBLE posted below. In the second image you see the ECMWF Weeklies model out to June 17th.
This is a dry and stable pattern with just above-average highs in the area that looks to carry into early Summer. Yes, the Boreal Summer is now just 30 days away.
Of course, this is all in the long range fantasy range period, so a system or two could sneak into the picture at some point. Hopefully, we see something along those lines sooner than later.

Author – Steve Taylor – The Mammoth Snowman – Over the last 30+ years, Snowman has spent countless hours studying and learning about Mammoth Mountain Weather and Snow Conditions first hand. He has been skiing around the hill with marked ski poles since March of 1991 so he can measure the fresh snowfall amounts out on the hill.
Snowman started blogging this information back in 1990 on the old Mammoth BBS system, then the RSN Forums and then on to MammothSnowman.com in 2004 with Video & Photo Blog reports. (No YouTube back then). Facebook got added to the fold back in 2008 and then the Facebook Group in 2016.
Reports, videos, and photos from the website have been featured on both local TV Stations here in Mammoth and Bishop, along with KTLA, AP, Fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC News.
