Sunday
Heavy snow throughout the day as operations could be affected by the storm, always check the resort website before you go to make sure they are open. Temperatures will stay around 20 throughout the day tomorrow. Winds will be strong, as usual for a storm like this. Base level gust in the 50 range with ridge top winds in the 80’s, so upper mountain lifts are likely a no-go. Monday will be a nice day to hit those spots.
Snow totals below are from yesterday. They are still looking pretty good, although I think the Mammoth totals are a little on the low end.
