Let’s start with Mammoth Mountain. Mammoth pulled down a whopping 192″ out of the recent storm with a foot coming in the last 24 hours alone.

Tahoe resorts also got buried with resorts like Heavenly, Squaw Valley, Mt Rose, Boreal, and Sugar Bowl pulling down 7+ feet of snow in the last 7 days. Looking forward to the weekend, the majority of the Sierra is forecasted to go BLUE on Saturday with sunny skies and fresh snow through MLK Monday.
