Mammoth Mountain Ski Area
Mammoth Mountain
One of California's largest ski resorts, with a snow season of more than half a year and over 150 runs spread across a volcanic mountain.
Mammoth Mountain is a dormant volcano rising to 3,369 metres. The resort offers about 3,500 acres of skiable terrain, more than 20 lifts and over 150 runs, ranging from beginner slopes to double black diamonds. The snow season often runs from November into May or June, making it one of the longest-lasting ski seasons in the United States. The resort has several base areas, including the Main Lodge, Canyon Lodge and Eagle Lodge, and lifts run directly from the village area in town. Lift tickets are expensive on peak weekends and holidays, so buy them in advance on the official website or use an Ikon Pass. At this altitude, protect yourself from sunburn and watch for altitude sickness.
