Into June. Not yet defined. Not specifics of what and when things will be open. TBD.

My kid and I will be getting there the Monday after school gets out. Skiing and biking through Friday. Looking forward to it.

Chair 5 is off schedule M-Th. Spring hours listed as 7:30-2:00, but expect closing will cut back after Memorial Day.

The cold spring looks like it is preserving the base depth. Almost 5' at Main and over 90" McCoy and above.

Does anyone know if Panorama and Mammoth Rock Trails are clear of snow?

I was in the area yesterday (parked at twin lakes) but I didn't really pay attention to panorama dome. I would guess patchy at most throughout the trees and clear in the open? Above Lake Mary (9000) it was all snow. But it was about 50/50 on the walk down from Lake Mary to Twin Lakes off the road (and the road is totally clear, don't know why it isn't open to cars).

Awesome! Thank you. I imagine that means it will be clear for riding by my arrival on June 2.

Riding up G2 yesterday I heard from a reliable source that Mammoth’s last day for ski operations is June 15th and that’s it.

Guy I heard it from seems like he’s “in the loop.”
He’s a longtime employee, ripping skier, skis fast, occasionally posts POV clips of himself skiing down the chair line of
ch 22 on pow days, drives a snowcat, and smoked me on a top to bottom run down Monument yesterday.

Yo Ott! Saw your post regarding MRT & Panorama Done trail and their condition. Tuesday eve I rode up and took a quick look at them. Here’s what I saw…..

At Mammoth Rock Trail. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden up to it and forgot how much elevation gain thru Old Mammoth there is. I was feeling the thin air.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2c2e6e6846.jpg
The entrance has some run off coming down it resulting in a wet/mud section right away. Once you get over the 1st rise, it goes away and the trail’s dry.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e59bb258f8.jpg
Looking down it, the trail looks snow free and in good shape. Saw three groups of trail runners on it in 10 minutes.

I pedaled on up from the trail head and stopped at the entrance to Pano Dome Trail. Here’s what I saw……….

There’s a giant berm thats 6-10ft deep. It’s on a Northern aspect and it’s going to be here for a couple more weeks (maybe). Panorama is not rideable at this time.

I finished the climb out Old Mammoth Rd and stopped at Twin Lakes.

The waterfall from Lake Mary into Twin Lakes was flowing last night!

Lower Twin Lakes just before sunset. Temps drop fast as the sun goes down. If you’re riding in the evening bring an extra layer. You’ll be stoked you did.

I know right! I didn’t want to be one of “those” people that are always name dropping, typically in a desperate attempt to sound or look cool. But who would know better when ski ops will end for the 24-25 season than a cat driver, right? So I figured that if I threw in a couple hints about the person I heard the ending date from that at least few people would figure it out.

Currently 395 is closed between Mono City and Lee Vining due to The Inn Fire. Detour is the Hawthorn down to Hwy 6 and the Benton Crossing Rd.

A few pics from this past week of skiing.

Upper mtn just as it was getting soft.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ab266eaf3f.jpg
When the rest of the mtn has gotten sticky the race courses are still skiing well late in the day.

Ch 23 early in the day.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0d585c66b1.jpg
Entrances off the top of 23 mostly rock free.

Fast slush under Dropout.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ed06dbe39f.jpg
Under Ball’s has some smooth, fun corn snow.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4304e85461.jpg
All of the race runs had fast carvy snow on them til closing.

Thursdays winds made for some awesome Sierra wave clouds.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...367f4c768e.jpg
Great sunset.

By Friday the dirt patch was starting to creep across the bottom of Stump Alley.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e06b76fd34.jpg
End of the day from the bottom of ch 2.

May has been a good month of spring skiing
with freezing temps almost every night and daily corn cycles. Hit it now as it won’t be here much longer.

For comparison sake the last pic in my post directly above this one was taken this past Friday of Memorial Day weekend 2025. vs…..

Memorial day weekend 2021. Mammoth had to do some epic snow farming to be able to ski to the bottom of Stump Alley.
Hoping those days stay a distant memory.

Back in late January when Mammoth was sitting on a 35” base I certainly didn’t think we’d be skiing in June.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fcd42b7f86.jpg
It was looking a bit iffy but chair 2 makes it into June. Rumored that today may be its last day in operation for the season?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...863a4bdae8.jpg
Props to Mammoth cat crew for harvesting any available snow and moving it into place. I appreciate being able to park & ski back to my truck easily.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...34451285f6.jpg
The race course today. At the top of the pic you can see where the cats dragged out snow to fill in as needed.

It’s Monday June 2nd and there’s still skiing to be had.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f9ae082567.jpg
Monday started off sunny and with firmer snow this
morning.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e6abc1462a.jpg
As the snow softened skied into Wipe Out 3.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7e024a43e9.jpg
Entrance was fine and it had buttery slush all the way bsck to 23.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...85e9abecfa.jpg
The race course opened ar noon and was smooth corn all the way down St Anton.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...90d4b56c26.jpg
Looking down St Anton. Skied well til closing.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3908585e35.jpg
Thunderstorms developed over the mtn just after 1:00 closing.

Rain and lightning in Mammoth as well as out on the Green Church rd.

Been here the past two days. Chair 2 is closed and officially can not ski down to it. Plenty of cars parked there at closing yesterday. We got close enough to Main, but even front row parking is a long ass walk. Wore my sandals this morning all the way to the snow.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3e797e180e.jpg

Chilling at McCoy. Plenty of coverage up top. St Moritz early. St Anton late and some Broadway variations all day. Enjoying making laps too to bottom.


Enjoyed the reflection in the glass

Panorama Dome MTB is clear. Did a trolley assist lap down to Distant Brewing

Most of the trails below Paper Route are clear and rideable with maybe a single snowbank to negotiate here or there. Ride at your own risk until open. They are doing some work taking down dead trees tomorrow, but they will have crews out letting ya know to stay away.

They are aiming for Off The Top to open when the gondola re opens on the 14th.

Discovery might be open by this weekend with everything except Richter, because St Anton is in the way. They are working over there to get it going.

This thing is committing and super fun late in the day. Early it looks scary.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a07d5fc3f6.jpg
Wipeout 1 is hard to get to. W2-3 ski right in. Far skiers left it's pretty smooth

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...86f49e5bee.jpg
Somebody cares he teles.


https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a1c7685e7d.jpg
Dropout 1 was the big hit of the day. Easier entrance. Early to soften. The bumps further skiers right were pretty sweet up high.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...17269c9350.jpg

The entrances were getting bony. Especially Wipeout 1. Might be burnt today. We went biking, so didn't get a look.

Technically closed but the shuttle turns around here. And they have a concession stand open in the afternoon.

A few more from Thurs/ Fri

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1febe354bb.jpg
Manzanita is still BC but mostly snow free. Pretty enough. Juniper down to Pare Route was still pretty raw, but is groomed and ready from there down

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a64f0c5b1.jpg
Cornice skied great from opening. Bumps start forming around 11am, but never growing into anything large.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6bc7ba5397.jpg
Looking up Saddle Bowl.

St Anton was still skiing killer on Fri but the last bit of runout was pretty much all dirt and rock. Fast exit until you can out of the trees and basically stopped. Snowboards were walking.

Great finish to our ski season. My kid got 62k over three days. I sneaked in enough after they went in to top 75k.
