2024-25 California Detail

Updated December 8, 2024

Mammoth opened Broadway, Rusty's and Saddle Bowl on snowmaking November 15. 7 inches of snow fell on the opening weekend after a scattered 10 inches during the prior two weeks. Another 11 inches fell Nov. 22-23, opening all groomed runs on chairs 1 and 2 and 3 more runs chairs 4 and 10. 37 inches of snow Nov. 24-27 opened 90+% of the mountain by Nov. 29.

Southern California snowmaking allowed Snow Summit and Mountain High to each open one top to bottom run Nov. 22. Late November storms mostly missed SoCal and one that made it was all rain. No change during a warm and dry early December.

I consider the local areas worth visiting according to the following criteria (2024-25 summary):

Snow Summit: The Wall, Log Chute, Chair 10 and lower Westridge open. Upper Summit Run to lower Miracle Mile and the beginner area opened Nov. 22.

Bear Mt: Silver Mt. and/or Bear Peak open. Opening TBD

Snow Valley: Slide Peak open. Scheduled opening Nov. 29 was only the beginner area.

Mountain High: East as well as West open. Chisholm and some beginner runs opened Nov. 22 but only the beginner base is open now.

Mt. Baldy and Mt. Waterman: A natural snow base of at least 4 feet.
