How much snow is good for skiing/snowboarding? Mammoth will be getting 2 feet. Will this last me for 4 weeks?

Question

I am a beginner snowboarder. All my friends are like, "ohh no man you can't go to Mammoth Mountain now there's no snow." But isn't there plenty of snow if it's getting 2 feet?

Also, I am going snowboarding late december early january. If it does not snow until then will I have enough snow to last me?

Answer 1

it depends whether they can make snow and if it stay could enough

if so, yes

go ahead

have fun

Answer 2

Two feet is not nearly enough for anything extreme, but you stated you were a beginner so the man-made on the groomers will be ok.  I don't quite understand the "get enough snow to last me" statement, what are you planning on doing?

Answer 3

Hi,

Well certainly the snow won't last for a month, But it may last over 1 week if theres no rain and high temperatures...

And yes January and December are good times to go skiing & snowboarding...

All the best...Have a nice time!!!

Answer 4

Where do you live? If you live in snow country, then just look for some slopes that make their own snow. There's sure to be some snow on a mountain somewhere...

Answer 5

no way man
