No mountain is better named than Mammoth. When you stand at the base lodge and scan the mountain, you can’t even see a quarter of the ski terrain. The encircling ridge, all above treeline, promises dramatic skiing, but what you can’t see is even better. Lower peaks such as Lincoln Mountain, Gold Hill and Hemlock Ridge, all with groomed swaths and moguled canyons, stretch 6.5 miles in width. Mammoth is one of the nation’s largest winter resorts in size, and at times it’s the nation’s busiest, with more than 14,000 skiers and riders swooping over its slopes on an average weekend. Mammoth’s ski season (November - April) is one of the longest in the United States.

Mammoth Mountain is proud to have the most ride able terrain of any resort in the country right now! Five lifts were opened this Monday: Stump Alley Express, Broadway Express, Face Lift Express, Discovery Chair and the Upper Panorama Gondola. Main Park, Forest Trail Park and Disco Park are all open featuring a wide variety of rails, boxes, jumps, rollers and other features. Lifts are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily servicing a base of 12-48 inches of natural and manmade snow. Price $79 for an adult for a full day; $59 for 13-to-18-year-olds; $40 for seniors and children 7 to 12.
