This is the storm we’ve all been waiting for! In the last 24hrs, reports of up to 48″ of the fresh & fluffy white stuff. A few days ago weather forecasts were only predicting several inches a day… man were they wrong.

The bottom line is this… it doesn’t make a difference where you ski or ride today… it’s EPIC pretty much everywhere.

Kirkwood by far has the deepest snow on this registering 36″ – 48″ with a storm total to date of 54 – 58 inches… NICE!

Storm totals elsewhere are registering in the 30 – 40 inch range.. nothing to complain about that’s for certain.

12″ of Fresh Pow This Morning!!!
We received a nice little surprise here this morning with about a foot of fresh snow at Main Lodge. Take advantage of these amazing early-season conditions here at Mammoth with our First Tracks Lift and Lodging package. Check out MammothMountain.com for all the details.

Mammoth sent out a dump alert late yesterday afternoon with and an announcement that they will remain open until June 1, 2008. Memorial Day was their planned last day until they received over a foot of snow and another 4 – 6 inches of fresh over night.

Could be the last fresh tracks of the 2008 ski season.

What better way can you start off your week then a ton of fresh snow. The last of this latest storm series was more than plentiful in the Norther & Central Sierra. SoCal wan’t as fortunate.
