It’s official. Mammoth Mountain’s had its snowiest season ever — and by a lot
As yet another major storm brings more rain and snow to California, Mammoth Mountain has broken its historic snowfall record — by a lot. “With 28-30 [inches] of snow since yesterday afternoon, we just blew through our all-time season snowfall record of 668” inches, Mammoth Mountain said in an Instagram post. “We’ve received 695 [inches] of snowfall to date at Main Lodge, making the 22/23 season the biggest in our history!” Snowpack in the Southern Sierra is already at record levels, with the statewide record within reach. … Snowmelt will also be a concern as the weather warms up. In a worst-case scenario, massive snowmelt in the coming weeks could inundate towns along U.S. Highway 395, which winds along the base of snow-clad Sierra peaks that reach up to 14,000 feet.
