California/Nevada 2019/20 Mammoth Mountain

[Pat AKA mustski]

It’s enough to make you crazy for sure!

It seems this is the first time the runs at chair 3 look like the runs off chair 3.
I gotta believe we’ll be making some mid April runs.
On a side note, Mammoth has some competition now, Steamboat is pretty nice.

Did we get a definite answer from Mammoth(ICON) that this season is over? "IF" the virus outbreak got resolved by say Mid May, would they possibly open with all the snow they've been getting?

I haven't given up hope to ski yet. I had 3 trips planned for Spring and I'm hoping to salvage 1 or 2 trips still

from their site today - "there is no estimated reopening date for Mammoth Mountain"
they've received10 feet since they closed

Just got word today that Mammoth is shut down at least until after Memorial weekend. So in other words, sounds like it no more skiing this year

I don't believe there is going to be any more skiing this year, but if there were Memorial Day would be a fine day to do it.

This from Unofficial ski (posted by @4ster in the corona thread) Only area in country to reopen -at 10% limit only.

Mono & Inyo countys are telling people to stay away and have delayed start of fishing season so Mammoth in June is somewhat doubtful.

The spowpack is amazingly high

It's not that high... the sign isn't even buried!

Lol, that sign is 18.5‘ tall & it is almost May. I’d say that they are doing okay for a less than stellar year

Plus it is a new higher sign this year.

closer to 18' buried, the new sign is 24' tall...

Hmmmmm

There appears to be some grooming going on on Broadway this morning .........

Snow Summit has announced the opening of the bike park June 12th, so things are loosening up.

Inyo county (Bishop, Lone Pine) was just approved with 22 other California counties (inc our Nevada co) for extended stage 2 reopening.
Almost all are in Nor-Cal.

Don't see Mono County on the list yet.

 

[John Webb]

Interesting idea. If Mammoth did this they could reopen for July and all of august !

 

[skibum4ever]

I have to admit that the cooler weather and drizzle in soCal have led me to check the Mammoth cams yesterday and today.

Watching it snow has me depressed all over again. I thought I was over it.

The truth is that I am never quite over it. I guess it's time to buy our IKON passes and hope that we will be able to ski next winter.
