3500 acres of trails, covered in 385 inches of snow, bathed by 300 days of sunshine—and that’s just the mountain in an average year. 11,053-foot Mammoth Mountain dominates the Eastern Sierra skyline and the minds and hearts of its die-hard skiers and riders. Yes—Mammoth is big. And there’s more to Mammoth winter than one mountain: slopeside, lakeside and trailside lodging; cross country skiing and snowmobiling over acres of pure white; uncrowded powder days at June Mountain; dinner at Lakefront Restaurant.
What started as the ultimate ski hill has become a full-service resort. But Mammoth is still a place where you can see the forest for the trees. In the middle of the Inyo National Forest, on the edge of the wilderness, this spectacular corner of the Sierra inspires with pine, snow, rock and sky at every turn. A comforting dose of crackling fire, feather bed and filet mignon warms the soul. All of this is Mammoth—a very worthy destination for a fine winter vacation.
