Mammoth got about 12" out of this storm. So far. Good conditions.

Checking the Mammoth Mtn webcam, they in fact appear open, and people are skiing. Could use a little snow.

Not looking for California snow for a couple weeks at least. Unless something changes. Think snow.

I know that Mammoth Mountain opened a couple weeks ago, then closed because of "Technical Difficulties", i.e. No Snow.

Let's see if this is useful. How are the ski conditions? In Los Angeles, Bear Mountain opened a day or two ago, and with the warm weather won't be open long, and I'll bet it's pretty slurpy snow.
