The resort

Volcanic scenery, mountains of snow

The ski area is in fact 4 miles from the town of Mammoth Lakes and, as a consequence, much of the accommodation at the base of the ski slopes has the advantage of being ski in/out. Reached from Reno, LA or San Francisco it is set in breathtakingly beautiful mountain scenery. This is not surprising as Mammoth is a volcano – so be sure to enjoy the hot springs at the end of a day spent in deep beautiful snow.

To give you complete flexibility to enjoy the town and also benefit from the ski convenience of our accommodation, we have included car hire in our Mammoth prices.

The skiing and boarding

Rising to an impressive 11,000 feet, Mammoth is one of America’s largest ski areas with 3500 acres of skiing. It has a very long season – from November until sometimes July – and has amazingly consistent heavy snowfalls. Yes, this is one of THE places to go for steep and deep skiing. However, the resort is not the exclusive preserve of experts – the ski school has won accolades for its programmes and the beautifully groomed cruising runs make this an excellent resort for beginners and intermediates. Its terrain parks are some of the best you will find anywhere.

The apres ski

There is an almost mind blowing choice of places to eat out – look out for Slocums Grill, Angel’s for great value and Chart House for good seafood. At weekends the liveliest place is the Yodler at the Main Lodge base or Whiskey Creek which also has bands at the weekend.
