It's snowed on Mammoth Mountain. Since February 12, 27 inches have
fallen on the ski slopes. The Mountain is reporting a total recorded
snowfall for the season of 134 inches and a base of 3.5-5 feet. By most
reports skiing is good.
Rumors of a massive March, a
"miracle March" like we had in 1991, have been circulating for weeks.
Just 42 inches of snow had dusted the Mountain's slopes until March of
'91. Then it started snowing and didn't stop. Nearly 176 inches fell.
Another March like that and we'd be close to the 340.5 inch average for
the past 41 years--100 inches short of the 440.5 inches the last 10
years have averaged--but we could live with that.
In the last two days storms have deposited another 9 inches on the Mountain and a windy system, hammering the slopes right now, is forecast to bring another 6 inches by Friday.
