Snow levels at the California ski resort have already surpassed the 2021–22 mark—and it’s only January
There’s a ton of snow at California’s Mammoth Mountain.
The massive dichotomy between the snow-rich and snow-poor areas of ski country is growing larger by the day—case in point, Vermont’s Mad River Glen just shuttered due to lack of snow while the Mountain West and Far West are getting buried. Perhaps nowhere is it more evident than at Mammoth Mountain, California, where it started snowing in late October and basically hasn’t stopped.

The last storm dropped several feet of snow over the weekend through Monday, January 9, pushing the overall snow total to 270 inches. The next storm has already arrived and is expected to leave another 30 to 36 inches in its wake. The resort is reporting a season total of 310 inches of snow as of Tuesday, January 10, with a 164-inch base at the Main Lodge and a 230-inch base at the summit.
By contrast, the mountain saw 233 total inches of snow during the 2021-22 winter.
