Default Mammoth situation ?

I was planning to go to Mammoth for few days - on Monday (March 15-th).

But now I am upset by this hot weather.

Snow is melting fast.

And week forecast isn't good eaither: ~60-70 F every day.
With this weather there won't be any snow in a week from now!

Their web-site shows inconclusive information about snow conditions.
Too general and no numbers on actual snow depth in different
places of mountains. Sux.

I myself have never been on Mammoth.

Does anybody knows anything for certain?
How is skiing there in March?
How is the snow now?
Are there northern sides where snow can stay longer?

Thanks.

This sounds like a troll; but in case it's mere naivity ...

Go. Mammoth has snow - it won't melt off in a week or a month of warm
weather - it takes a summer to melt Mammoth, and even then it doesn't
usually melt completely.

Take sun tan lotion SPF 30 or better, smear it on liberally, and enjoy
spring skiing in winter. Get out early, at lift opening, and follow the
retreating shade around the mountin.

BTW, the resort is where it is because the mountain faces north...
