# Mammoth Mountain Ski Report: Spring Shredding is Here

Mammoth Mountain is firing on all cylinders right now, with plenty of snow still on the mountain and the season stretching all the way through Memorial Day. As of March 21st, the resort is sitting pretty with a 50-inch base depth and 24 of its 25 lifts spinning, giving you access to some serious terrain. The recent snow dump in February—over seven feet of it—has pushed the season total to 243 inches, creating the kind of spring conditions that make Mammoth legendary.

If you've been following the weather, you know March has been treating the mountain well. Daytime temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark with highs in the low 50s Fahrenheit, while nights dip down to the teens and 20s. That's perfect spring ski weather: cold enough to keep the snow from getting too slushy early in the day, but warm enough to enjoy bluebird afternoons. You're looking at around nine hours of sunshine daily, which means plenty of time to log runs before the afternoon corn gets sticky. There's still a chance of a few snow days mixed in throughout the month, so keep an eye on forecasts, but nothing significant is predicted in the immediate week ahead.

The spring schedule is dialed in nicely too. Secondary terrain like the Eagle and Chair 9 will close on April 6th, but all main operations will continue through Memorial Day, with lifts likely running from 7:30 a.m. to around 5 p.m. in late March and early April. This gives you a solid month and a half of spring skiing ahead, which is an absolute gift for California riding. The upper mountain needs a solid three to four-foot base to open, and with current conditions, you've got plenty of terrain to explore.

Mammoth's elevation of 11,053 feet at the summit means the snow sticks around longer than virtually anywhere else in California. That high-altitude advantage is exactly why locals flock here in spring when lower resorts are already done for the year. You're looking at a season that typically runs November through June, and this year they're making good on that promise. With over 3,500 skiable acres and 150 named trails spread across 15 percent expert, 20 percent advanced, 40 percent intermediate, and 25 percent beginner terrain, there's something for everyone.

The whole vibe right now is peak spring skiing: solid snow base, manageable crowds as we head into late March, and weeks of riding still left. Pack your sunscreen, embrace the morning powder laps, and get out there before those Memorial Day lift closures arrive.
