    About Mammoth Lakes, CA

    Mammoth Mountain, located in the Eastern Sierras of California, feels bigger than life. Massive in size at 3,500 skiable acres, and with 28 lifts and 150 runs, this world-renown ski resort stretches over peaks and accommodates several villages. It needs to be big: Mammoth is a huge draw for densely populated Southern California, and is also within easy distance for Northern Californians, Nevadans, and Oregonians. Of course, this prime geographical location is both a pro and a con. The region surrounding Mammoth Mountain is a nature-lover’s and outdoors-person’s heaven. From the top of the chairs, skiers can take in views of the Sierras that stretch to the boundary of Yosemite National Park, and within a short drive is June Lake (known for hiking and mountain biking trails in summer) and June Mountain, a smaller, ‘mom-and-pop’ style ski resort. Tip: use you Mammoth Mountain lift pass to access quiet, friendly June Mountain, too!

    Best Way to Experience Mammoth Lakes



    Day 1


  • Morning: You’ll want to go out and ski! Start your day with breakfast in the Broadway Marketplace in the Main Lodge, then hit the slopes. Check out the views from the top of Dave’s Run, and spend the next few hours carving some turns. Stop for lunch at The Mill.
  • Afternoon: If you’re needing to end early on your first day, stop in at the Yodler (a local favorite) for a pint or some pub fare. Head back to your condo for a soak in a hot tub!
  • Dinner: Walk from most lodging options into the village to Campo Mammoth for dinner. Its upscale rustic Italian cuisine will appeal to everyone

  • Day 2


  • Morning: Ski a second day (you won’t have traversed the whole mountain yesterday) or opt to spend some time admiring the Eastern Sierras with a peaceful cross country ski day. Start at the Adventure Center.
  • Lunch: Eat an easy lunch in your condo or vacation rental to skip the busy village venues.
  • Afternoon: Rent a snowboard or demo skis to try something new on the slopes, or opt for a snow cat tour. Alternatively, shop in the villages and take in the atmosphere (especially around the holidays).
  • Dinner: Get wine and tapas at The Underground.
