Going to Mammoth in Cali on the 27th of march - i know its late in the season but im keeping my fingers crossed for some fresh stuff. I see they just had a dump there yesterday and the last couple of days. Will be there for five days exploring all Mammoth has to offer.

I have heard they get snow all the way into april up there.

Do what Shocktroop531 said...go to Mammoth but make sure you go to June at least once.I went this past weekend and the snow was great,people friendly and the longest lift I waited in was 30 seconds[although the 1st lift was slow].Mammoth will be open until July for sure.

Only downside is the radiation floating over from Japan - oh well no risk no reward.
Headed up there with some friends for a couple of days towards the end of March. Hoping for good, or at least manageable, travel conditions. And don't worry about the radiation from Japan. You get more radiation just from standing outside and a hell of a lot more on coast to coast flights lol. Have fun

How's driving up there when it's snowing? I'm heading up next weekend (24th-27th) and it looks like it might snow.. a bit hard to tell since its still a week out and the weather reports aren't that great when its that far out. just wondering if I should bring cables/chains for the car.

I drove up there twice this year, it was snowing both times. At Thanksgiving it was blowing snow, pretty slick, and between Xmas and New Years it was not quite as bad but 395 was closed for the last 12 or so miles (for I think a few hours). Good luck getting any warning.. nothing in Bishop saying the road was closed, nothing on the radio station they list on the road signs, and all CA-DOT said was, "take alternate route", and of course there is none. So like they said, bring chains and if it's dicey maybe just stop in Bishop and see if anyone knows anything.

If everything works out, local mountain this weekend (bear/snow summit), Mammoth next, and Tahoe for one day week after (Fiance is working up in Nor cal, so i'm flying up to help her drive down ... with a detour up I-80!). Mammoth looks to be dumping this weekend until Monday. Next week is pretty clear for us, so it's a tradeoff. No powder (I'm praying for at least a dusting) but clear roads and great weather.

They got 4+ ft Sunday/Monday,and are getting another 4-5+ft today Wednesday/Thursday,so it will be excellent .Remember those chains and be prepared with some water blankets[toilet paper] and some food.If you get stuck in Bishop co to the casino there and fill up[cheapest gas around].Have fun.

I know it's supposed to dry up next week (of course, that's because I'm coming to town) but I hope it holds up in Tahoe until April 12. Yeah I know, a huge stretch, but I'm just hoping and praying.

I went to Tahoe in January (planned for months) so of course, historic December, historically DRY January, and a good Feb/March. The powder gods are punishing me for reasons unknown.

It probably won't be that bad. Snowforecast has the possibility of some snow coming in during your time frame. Albeit, not nearly as strong as this last one. The thing is, if it's not snowing, you'll probably have plenty of sunshine giving you great corn conditions. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it, California has the best spring riding conditions in the US. They are second to none. Pow or corn, I'd take either that time of year. The one thing you shouldn't be riding is Sierra cement.

I not going to be on the hill untill tuesday morning think it will still be nice conditions?. looking at the weather its going to be in the 40's during the day. I dont know crap about snow or how long it stays "fresh" Its supposed to stay pretty much like that the entire time im there untill saturday.

Been here since Thursday and it's pretty much just been dumping. First day out on Thursday my GF got stuck in the pow so many times she got pissed. Friday was windy as hell and kept the slopes fresh.. Woke up today (Sat) and it's snowing again. Looks like it might let off tomorrow some.
