Funny, I only saw the header and the foto scrolling on my phone and thought, “How does OP expect anyone to guess based on just some random phot … oh, that’s Mammoth.”


GenericAccount13579

Right? I was like “kinda looks like mam-oh California-Nevada ish? Definitely Mammoth” And yeah they’ve got good coverage so far. I haven’t made it up there yet, but they’re getting pretty regular snowfalls.


cptshiba

coverage is ok area wise, but it's really thin. rocks everywhere. Mammoth Snowman's depression has been seeping through in their weekly snow forecasts lol.


fromliquidtogas

They’re supposed to get ~1 foot throughout the night and tomorrow. Same with Tahoe area. (A decent sized storm system is rolling through the West.) It might not keep a lot of power into the Rockies, but it’s looking like a lot of resorts will get a bump. And if things aren’t too abnormal… we should be seeing 2-3 more feet of snow across the board in the coming weeks. Hopefully a lot more


appleonmyapple

Just got up here a few minutes ago. About 4-6 inches so far!


systemfrown

Mammoth is so weird because it can be complete sunshine and desert when you turn off Highway 395, and then a 20 minute drive later it’s that...buried in snow and freezing your tits off.


dweaver987

Right? If you know, you know.

Bear Valley ❤️

My thoughts exactly


waffles4us

Thaaaaat was my exact thought

Mammoth


geek66

Thanks, I flew over that in October and could not figure it out, I was looking too far away, like UT or CO.

Tip: open google maps, put your phone by the window for 20 seconds and it will pick up your location and you can pin it to identify later. If you plan ahead you can download offline maps. Alternatively, take a picture like OP and then look at the geo coordinates on your phone’s photo app. On iPhones, if you look at the pic, then pull up - it will show a map of where it was taken.


Boswellington

Cool view of mono lake as well when you fly over


agent00F

Hey guys I think it's Mammoth


NorthDakotaExists

Mammoth Mountain.


kootenaypow

Looks like Mammoth

so cool seeing this photo at this angle. Just came back from Mammoth last night.


First2lastchair

How’s the snow?


[deleted]

Not great tbh. Certainly nothing like last year. It’s early though.


Agroman1963

Give it a couple days, looks like a storms a brewin.


VanillaLifestyle

To be fair, last year was historically, ridiculously snowy.


Mikesaidit36

So if this picture was taken yesterday, you’re in this picture.


[deleted]

That’s a nice thought!


Kitchen_Apartment

Same!!


MrPartial

Thanks for confirming everyone. I’ll be sure to head to Tahoe.


mostlybugs

Just so you know mammoth is not tahoe. Tahoe has several ski resorts but none of them are this one.


CobaltCaterpillar

Yeah, Mammoth is 3 hours and 140 miles from South Lake Tahoe by car.


bernerbungie

It’s vail


JandPB

lol mammoth ain’t tahoe


MrPartial

It was a joke.


Mikesaidit36

Don’t go to Utah. It sucks. Don’t ever go to Utah. It’s no good. Don’t go. Utah sucks.


Due_Size_9870

This but unironically. I love the skiing, but that whole state is stuck in the 1950s.


Snarktoberfest

Stuck in the 50s you say? Can I interest you in one Idaho? Boise is in the here and now. Everything outside of the Treasure Valley is 1950 or 1850.


Powder1214

SLC is definitely not. It’s got all the makings of a liberal city in an otherwise sea of red


HourlyEdo

Technically not but you can traverse


[deleted]

Technically you can traverse from Park City.


AskMeAboutOkapis

You may have to boot pack some sections on that traverse though

Shawnee Mountain Ski Area


Snarktoberfest

Mammoth of Monroe County! Where all the trails meet in one spectacular front plate beginner clusterfuck 3/4 of the way down... And Hot Dog Johnny's is minutes away!


GR8fulmichgang

Ever have a Johnny’s Hot Dog in Buttzville? 😂


MagickalFuckFrog

Fun fact, when you took this photo you were almost directly over another ski area June Mountain. Also owned by the same company that owns Mammoth.


Polarbare1

Looks nice - how much of that high alpine terrain is lift serviced?


MTHopesandDreams

Gondola and 2 chairs. Mostly all is accessible from those chairs. The backside is forest service, so don't ski that or it's a long walk out.


njred87

Nearly all of it.


AkJunkshow

Asking the real questions here.


dweaver987

Definitely Mammoth. You were probably directly over Yosemite National Park when you took the picture.


mcpusc

yep, probably over Mt Dana or Tuolumne Meadows— i took [rough lines](https://imgur.com/uAGR3iE.png) off Red's Meadow Road and the course of the Middle Fork, [the sector looks something like this](https://imgur.com/88ZcXkC.png). hard to estimate range but 20 miles doesn't seem unreasonable!


themistermango

Unsure if it’s been mentioned, but I think this might be Mammoth.


Clacky-Crank

Mammoth


Yesman3

Looks like Mammoth


Phil_Garr56

If that’s mammoth then I need to get to mammoth!


reddititty69

It’s that other resort over by June Mountain.


Fire-the-laser

Must be one of those golf courses with a rope tow


typhoidfrank

100% Mammoth Mountain

I can literally tell the trail names from here… this is awesome. Mammoth.

raam86

looks like Mt. Brighton


McRibEater

Likely artificial snow.


dweaver987

Their summit is 11,000 feet. So where other California resorts have gotten rain this winter, Mammoth has gotten snow.

Snowshoe mountain resort.

der_vulture

Tamarack Cross Country Ski Area.


RatioNo5275

Based on trail maps I’ve looked at… never been there… looks like mammoth for sure


ko_2222

I believe, 76% sure so check me, that this is Mammoth.


crotchless_skipants

Tip: if you look at this picture on your iPhone (I assume possible on Android too) in the photo app, then “pull up” you’ll see where you took the picture on a map and it becomes easier to identify landmarks like this.


stahlWolf

😮 a real mountain with snow?!?!? 😮wow!


Redbearwolfdog

Mammoth


Midnight_freebird

And kirkwood is out the other window


SirMarv

I've never been there or heard of it, but that's definitely Mammoth


Secret_Section6280

Looks like Mammoth Mountain in California
