Mountain Bike Park Update 7-25-25

Rode the park on Wednesday: My Route was Little Eagle to Main via the Chair 15 service road to Paper Route to Uptown to Main Lodge. I then rode the Gondola to the top and did Off the Top, followed by Gravy Train, Up and Over, Break Through Short Cut, Roma’s Road, and then down Skid Marks to Manzanita, Gopher Trail, Shotgun, Big Ring, Paper Route, Timber Ridge, and Juniper.

That route took me 3 hours, and yes, I was on the Turbo Levo E MTB that I prefer in the Bike Park.

Lifts Open are Gondola 1 and 2, Discovery Chair, and the Village Shuttle to Main Lodge. Chair 2 is also running on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Here is the link to view the current status of open and closed trails.

Trail conditions remain great, but trails continue to dry out, so hopefully we see some rain sooner rather than later. Off the Top does have some washboard on the upper long switchbacks, so be ready for the ripple effect. Skid Marks is open and is a ton of fun right now.

For Mountain Bike rentals, both Footloose Sports and Black Tie Adventure Rentals have some great selections. If you’re coming up from the flatlands, I highly recommend an E-MTB unless you’re just doing downhill laps; then, I recommend getting an enduro bike.

The E-MTB pedal-assist bikes make riding at 8,000-11,000 feet much more enjoyable. There is no throttle, but yes, there is a motor, and the added boost gets rid of the lung-busting punishment you get at high altitude

VC Race Schedule: August 8th Flow, August 29 Follow Me, September 12 Eliminator.

🌞 Good Day, everyone. Spring is making a big comeback over the next 5 days out on Mammoth Mountain. Get ready for that fabulous Mammoth Corn Snow we all love.

Temperatures are forecast in the upper 50s to lower 60s into Sunday. Winds pick up a bit this weekend, so bring an extra layer and a good spring jacket.

The lifts running midweek are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 23 and G1 and G2. 4 is expected this weekend, and possibly chair 12 if there are enough people on the hill. 📷 from Miles Weaver

🌨️ Mammoth Mountain Snow Report — 4/27/25 @ 8 AM

Good morning, Snowman crew! 👋
Here's your fresh update straight from Mammoth Mountain:

❄️ Current Weather:
Cloudy and foggy skies over the hill this morning, with light snowfall still coming down.
In the past 24 hours, Mammoth picked up 2–3 inches of fresh snow!
More snow showers will linger through the morning before we see some afternoon clearing. 🌥️

🎿 Snow Report:

Operations: Main Lodge + The Mill
Lifts Open: Chairs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 23 + Gondolas 1 & 2
Hours: 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Base depths looking great for late April!
🏔️ Main Lodge: 63"
🏔️ McCoy Station: 109"
🏔️ Summit: 120"

⚡ Surface Conditions:
Expect a mix of dust on crust, machine groomed snow and a few low-end freshies if you go hunting.
⚠️ Caution off the groomed trails — it’s rough out there today!

⛷️ Corn snow hunters: Your time is coming! Mid-week and beyond looks prime for those buttery silver-lined turns. 🌞

🗓️ Closing Day Rumor:
Word on the hill is Mammoth will stay open at least through Memorial Day — and maybe even into June if the snow holds!

🌦️ Weather Outlook:

Today: Snow showers ➡️ clearing skies
Monday: Warmer and drier
Mid-Week: Chances for showers and storms return
🚗 Travel Update:
Highways 395 and 203 are open and clear — just watch for slick spots above 8,000' early this morning!

📸 Hope everyone gets some turns in today — drop a photo or a comment if you're out there! 🎿🏔️
