California Ski Safari Customer Reviews

We have just returned from our combination snow, sun and fun holiday in USA, it was fantastic and impeccably arranged by James! We (mum, dad and 3 adult sons) flew to Las Vegas, picked up our huge SUV and drove to Mammoth, about a four and a half hour drive so not for the faint hearted. We had 7 days of excellent skiing, 5 days unbroken sunshine and 2 with fresh snow. We were there during American school vacation time but the runs and lifts were never overcrowded. We stayed in The Westin Monache, that was my only slight disappointment. Not the 5* it advertises. Nothing major, but little niggles like lack of toiletries provided and only having bottled water left on 2 occasions (and only 2 left each time!) and a $25 a day parking charge which we hadn't been warned about. Big bug bear was the 75 steps which had to be climbed wearing ski boots and carrying skis at the end of each day's skiing! On the plus side, it's right beside the Gondola, has a large heated outdoor swimming pool and 2 pretty large jacuzzis. The restaurant does a brilliant "scramble" at breakfast time for a very reasonable cost. We finished our holiday with 4 days in Las Vegas soaking up the sun and enjoying all that LV has to offer. I can highly recommend this 2 centre holiday as it can be combined with a drive through Death Valley and also a visit out to The Grand Canyon and The Hoover Dam.

This was our first ever boarding holiday. Well it was like winning the lottery! San Fran is a must. It's a shoppers paradise and seems very safe. We then went to Tahoe and had snow up to the top of our patio door, the mountain itself is stunning. So many fresh tracks even after a few days. Mammoth is fantastic it has it all. We then drove through death valley, we still think of it now three weeks after. Then onto Vegas ,Hoover dam is a must and then we heli'd the canyon! THANKS SKI SAFARI !!!!! THIS TOUR HAS IT ALL. WE WOULD GO AGAIN TOMORROW.
