Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort is located in the awe-inspiring
area of the Sierra Nevada range. It is one of the world's top resorts
and offers up to 10 months of skiing per year. Mammoth Lakes
receives an average of more than 350" of snow each year. It is
almost as large as Aspen, but it is more difficult to find. Visitors
must fly into Mammoth Lakes Airport from surrounding areas in
California. Mammoth is 325 miles north of Los Angeles and about
160 miles east of Reno. The town of
Mammoth Lakes is only five miles from the base of Mammoth
Mountain and forty miles from the eastern entrance of Yosemite
National Park.
The town is in the middle of a massive facelift. The Village at
Mammoth has just opened and there is a lot of activity around the
shops and restaurants. With the 1996 partnership of the Intrawest
Corporation with Mammoth Mountain Ski area came the three new
village areas - The Village at Mammoth, Sierra Star, and Juniper
Springs. These will bring many new developments to the resort.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort opens early in the season and
some years doesn't close until the Fourth of July. Mammoth has
added snowmaking to the top of its highest peak (more than
11,000 feet) and down the Cornice Run. Mammoth is just what its
name implies. It is large! Mammoth Mountain has an average of
300 days of sunshine a year here. The population of Mammoth is
7,000 year-round but 35,000 during peak-season
weekend. There are considerable distances between the
restaurants, bars, and slopes. The local shuttle service is good,
however, and makes stops along the five miles from town to the
mountain base.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort offers world-class downhill skiing.
The terrain is equally balanced for beginners, intermediates, and
experts, so it is popular with families and all levels of skiing ability.
There are 3,500 acres to play on, a vertical drop of 3,100 feet,
access to lift skiing at 11,053 feet, 156 trails and 27 lifts. The lifts
give riders a view of the Inyo National Forest, lake and mountains.
Heli-skiing and snowcat skiing are also available. Snowmobile
rentals and dogsled rides are close by. Other recreation includes
snowboarding,
snowshoeing, ice-skating, dog sled rides, cross-country
skiing, lift serviced sledding, and horse-drawn sleigh
rides.
