Mammoth Lakes is gearing up for a potentially record-breaking winter season as a storm is set to deliver significant snowfall this week. The storm is predicted to bring 1–3 inches of snow at Main Lodge and 3–5 inches from McCoy Station to the top of Mammoth Mountain. This comes as part of the heavy snowfall expected due to this year’s El Niño, promising an exciting season for skiers and snowboarders.
Mammoth Mountain, California’s highest chairlift service peak, is renowned for its extended snow conditions, often allowing skiing into the summer months. The resort boasts four base lodges, 150 named trails, 11 terrain parks, and 3,500 acres of skiable terrain. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Mammoth’s Unbound Terrain Parks, offering two half pipes, over 100 jibs, and more than 40 jumps, making it a haven for park enthusiasts.
Beyond skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing across 140 miles of trails winding through Mammoth Lakes and the Inyo National Forest. For those seeking speed, the Eastern Sierra offers 80 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and 75,000 acres for exploration, with both guided and self-guided tours available.
Access to Mammoth Lakes has been enhanced with expanded flight services. United Airlines offers year-round flights from San Francisco, and additional services from Denver land at the Eastern Sierra Regional Airport. Advanced Air provides direct flights from Carlsbad and Hawthorne-LA to Mammoth Yosemite Airport, ensuring easier access for visitors this winter.
