I woke up and heard rain and the first thing I thought was "Is Mammoth going to get hit?" But I'm not really clued in on how weather moving through LA translates to eventual weather at Mammoth.
Thanks for the new pics though.
It's an odd ball weather system that is hitting SoCal from the south. Mammoth is too far north to be bothered by the rain hitting SD/OC/LA etc.
FKNA it is snowing at Mammoth... all we need now is a real wet dumper... o well!
Nice to see some white!
More weather on the way this Friday?
I can see some snow around Big Bear (I think) from my office in downtown LA... Looks good!

THEN THE CHANCE OF SNOW OVER THE REGION WILL BE DIMINISHED.
Please God, let it dump on the Sierras.
That's it, I'm mounting all my shit up tonight- I don't care if I jinx this thing.

I thought I was just getting new boots and some easy first turns of the season this weekend. So much for that! I'll drive my Jeep if anyone needs a ride/wants to carpool.
Mach- we could be down for a carpool from the LBC. Let me see where my bitches at and I'll get back to you.
Where is the best place to stay on the cheap up there?
And we're upgraded- NOAA now saying snow showers Friday night into Saturday.
We are going to be there, not sure where we're staying just yet but we will be there.q
Any word on them opening the rest of the mountain?
From the horse's (mastodon's) mouth:
Mammoth Mountain is in the middle of a huge storm - just in time for holiday skiing and snowboarding! Local forecasters predict up to four feet by week's end; at which time you can expect all chairlifts, all lodges and all trails to be open. Cloud Nine Express is scheduled to open at 11am on Dec. 21! Call 888.SNOW.RPT for the latest weather and snow conditions.

I'd say 14" on top of the Suby when I got home. The parking lot at main lodge was insane....thank goodness I drove the jeep today. Even the jeep (underpowered gutless beastie) had some troubles getting up and over the condensed berm of snow left behind from the plow. Drift of snow next to the jeep was hip deep. Id say foot and a half, 2 feet of accumulation in the parking lot as I left, but it was still puking at 4:40pm.
The storm appears to have come to a lull now at 9:12 pm. Hopefully we'll get some more tomorrow.
