So my sister Didi comes down off the mountain Thursday late afternoon. “You didn’t miss much!” she states, “it’s like  styrofoam on top of coral reef.” Sounds interesting. She did say that lower Dry Creek and Rogers was good so I’ll do some slope evaluation Friday and relay the results upon my return. It is supposed to warm up this weekend so my hope is that conditions will settle down into something more predictable and spring-like.

52 degrees and sunny. Slight winds

Mountain received enough snow that on the top of the mountain employee’s reported boot high freshies in some spots.

Great time of year to ski in the morning and jump on the road or mountain bike in the afternoon. Especially with the late afternoon sunshine.

I skied the last four days on the mountain and have to say the conditions are unreal.  The wind has been blowing and the snow is as good as Mammoth has to offer.  Utah might be known for its light powder, but no place can beat Mammoth when it comes to windblown.  I woke up Thursday morning to a bluebird day with no wind and morning temperatures in the 20’s.  The snow had held up great from the little bit of snow we got the weekend before.  No wind but great variable snow conditions up top and no one on the mountain.  Friday through Sunday the wind kept picking up and the snow just kept getting softer and smoother.  If you like skiing fast, smooth steeps now is the time to be in Mammoth.  On Lincoln mountain the Avy Chutes have been holding up great and with only a few weeks left until Little Eagle and Canyon Lodge close, get it while you can.  The lower mountain still had decent coverage but with warmer temperatures the snow at the base areas has been getting pretty slushy.  We are expecting cooler temperatures and the potential for snow flurries during this week and then an above average temps for this coming weekend.  Enjoy the great snow while it’s here.  Before you know it, it will be bike season.   See you on the hill.
