Here in the Sierra Nevada Mountains the ski season starts early (November) and finishes late (June-July). Sunny days are common on Mammoth ski holidays, and average snowfalls are more than 10 metres a year.

Mammoth’s terrain balances steep chutes and snowparks with beginner slopes and tree-lined cruisers. Also included in your pass, June Mountain is a shuttle ride away - our tip is to ski here when LA locals flock to Mammoth on the weekends.

Relaxing bars and restaurants are centred in The Village and Mammoth Lakes town. Non-ski activities include tube parks and snowmobiling and, for an unforgettable evening meal on the mountain, we definitely recommend the snowcat tour up to Parallax restaurant.

To discover more of the US, ask us about skiing Mammoth as part of our California Ski Safari. You could also include LA or Las Vegas as city add-ons by arriving and flying home from either airport.

"This legendary winter resort has masses of terrain with huge snowfalls, as well as great cruising runs and some pretty scary stuff too. It’s a little further away but well worth the effort."

What our customers say about Mammoth.

Big mountain with a good variety of skiing

Excellent ski area. Lives up to it's name. Quite a large town, area wise, with a great variety of very good restaurants.

Vast array of terrain. Plenty of variety providing ample opportunity to find a run that suits. On the downside, it can be quite windy. This has the effect of robbing some runs of the good snow and spreading some of the smaller stones onto the run (disappointing when you are running on brand new skis). But there is plenty of scope to avoid when you know the troublesome spots.

Top, top resort with great off-piste and groomed runs. Brilliant skiing. Runs off the very top were great. Town is OK - yoga not as good as Squaw! June is a fabulous little gem, great for an easy day when you're feeling tired.

Fantastic ski area with friendly interesting people. Great resort, big town but free shuttle bus for transport. Hotel/accommodation, this was very good and included outside heated pool and three Jacuzzi's . Most importantly right by the lifts so a true ski in ski out experience.

BIG mountain & good lift system & the Eagle Lodge area was quiet, had great runs & linked well across the rest of the mountain. We arrived just after the massive snowfalls in mid march, so great spring snow / packed powder.

Massive ski area great mountain, unfortunately for us we only skied 1x 1/2 day and a 2 runs as it dumped 7ft snow in resort while we were there, and an avalanche closed the mountain. We will go back to ski properly.
