Mammoth Mountain Snow Report – Snow Season 24-2025
Monday, September 9th, 2024 @ 8 AM – Yahoo, the Meteorological Fall has begun, and there are just 68 days until the Mammoth Mountain Ski area is scheduled to open for Veterans Day Weekend.
Believe it or not, Mammoth Mountain has already picked up the first decent dusting of snow that fell on August 24th, 2024. I was not on the hill that day, but here are my webcam captures of the event.
This year, the new season’s opening date is Friday, November 15th, at 8:30 AM. However, if the Mountain gets a big early-season snowstorm, that opening day will be moved quickly, so keep that in mind.
I have no idea what lift or lifts they plan to start the season with. It’s hard to imagine chair one will be done by that date, but we will see. If chair one is a no-go, maybe Mammoth Mountain can run chair two, as a new snowmaking system was installed on Stump Alley.
Of course, the second I hear from the Mountain about what will be open that weekend, that information will be posted here immediately. So please keep checking in with us as we approach the new season.
While you’re waiting for the new season to start, follow along with our custom Mammoth Mountain Weather Forecast & Discussion.

Summer 2024 Work at Mammoth Mountain
Chairlifts: The replacement of Broadway Express – Chair 1 at Mammoth Mountain is underway, with completion anticipated for the 2024/2025 Season.
The new Doppelmayr D-Line 6-seat detachable chairlift will feature in-terminal parking at the top and bottom to improve opening times on big storm days, 90-degree loading on an automated loading conveyor to ensure an efficient load process, and an uphill capacity of 3,000 passengers per hour – a 25% improvement over its predecessor.
Other upgrades are being made to modernize the mountain’s chairlifts, reducing stoppages and wait times for guests. Face Lift Express (Chair 3) and Unbound Express (Chair 6) will receive upgraded controls and new AC drives, improving efficiency and reliability.
Snowmaking: This offseason, the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area committed $3.5M to further automate and improve its snowmaking capabilities and the system’s energy efficiency. This is in addition to the millions spent on snowmaking over the last two Summers.
The mountain added 15 SMI Super Puma fan guns on two of its most popular runs, Stump Alley and Roller Coaster, and 12 automatic Klik tower guns along Schoolyard and Chickadee.
These improvements in snowmaking will help connect terrain between base lodges, allowing for improved early-season access out of Canyon, Eagle, and Main Lodge.
Woolly’s Adventure Summit: A hub of activity and exploration, further improvements to Woolly’s Adventure Summit include continued construction of a new full-service Day Lodge, re-opening of the Woolly’s Mountain Coaster, and the addition of summer tubing lanes, which opened in summer of 2024.
Woolly’s Mountain Coaster provides a thrilling ride down exciting curves, spiral twists, and roller jumps through the forest as it descends 3,550 ft of downhill track back to Woolly’s Day Lodge.
Now that September is here, the next Winter Season countdown is on. I hope you diehards have begun your preseason exercise and ski/snowboard conditioning programs. If not, now is the time to get on it. Many great videos on YouTube go over what you need to do, depending on your age group.
Today’s Snow Report was compiled and written by Steve Taylor, the Mammoth Snowman. The Mammoth Mountain team has also provided additional written information on upgrades. Editing props, the Grammarly app.

Disclaimer on Snow Conditions and our Snow Reports
This is a simple disclaimer to keep us legal. First, this website is run by Mammoth Locals, we are not employees of Mammoth Mountain, but yes they do support our efforts.
Second, Snow Conditions change by the hour, so when you read our posts please consider when the post or report was made.
Check the date on the report before you email us! Nothing worse than some crybaby complaining that our conditions are not right. Yep, I get emails like that, again read the date, and don’t be a jerk.
Please Remember that the longer time has passed, the more the conditions have changed.
Third, what Snowman or any other member of the www.mammothsnowman.com community posts is purely based on how that person views snow conditions.
Everyone looks at things in their own view, so one person’s epic might not be your epic day. For example, I love spring corn snow but many people hate it.
Fourth you can die skiing or snowboarding, if you’re not skilled don’t take the runs Snowman or somebody else in the community might suggest.
Many of our videos contain extreme footage by professional athletes that ski and ride full time. We do not endorse these activities and encourage you not to try the tricks and extreme moves the professionals make in our videos and or images.
If you do, you do so of your own accord and risk and you further understand you risk almost certain death at times!
And last but not least thanks to the State of California you must be 18 or older to use this website.
If you’re not 18 log off now or we will have to call your parents to shut you down.
