Your search for the endless winter is over. With over 400" of annual snowfall, thousands of acres of epic terrain and an altitude that keeps things white into summer, Mammoth turns winter into a 6+ month season. Not bad considering most resorts are golf courses by April. And with our state-of-the-art lifts and gondolas and a variety of runs for... all skill levels (including seven terrain parks) Mammoth Mountain embodies all that you love about winter. Some people come to Mammoth for our 150 trails. Others for our 3,100 feet of vertical. A few show-up with their sights set on exploring our 3,500 acres of terrain, while the size-matters crowd show up because we're the tallest ski resort in California with a peak elevation of 11,053 feet. Lovers of snow hang their helmets here because of our more than 400" of annual snowfall. Folks with family-sized bottles of sunscreen can't get enough of our more than 300 days of sunshine. With warmth like that, winter never gets old and sticks around for a long time -- our season typically runs from November until June. At a minimum. But the one thing everyone comes for is to play big. And there's no better venue on earth than Mammoth Mountain.

Lost my printout. I pulled it up on my phone and the people at the front desk refused to scan it. They made me go all the way to The Village Lodge to get my printout. It took one full hour to take the Gondola down to the Village, find out how to get to the Village Lodge lobby, walk there, wait for someone to help me get a printout, and then take the gondola back. It was not worth buying my lift ticket through Liftopia. The price was the same as what Mammoth offered. I only got sucked in to using Liftopia because I was given a gift card at Ski Dazzle. It is more convenient to buy through Mammoth's website. No printout required.

Awesome, even in Spring! They didn't know about Liftopia, but honored our $12/person lunches (even let us use them on beer!). Awesome staff, snow, and LOVE my new-found Liftopia!

Mammoth is great as usual. There are so many runs and great snow condition. We were there for 3 days, we got fresh powder everyday.
Love this place. :) Thanks to Dave McCoy's vision and determination to build Mammoth Ski Resort.

My family loved Mammoth, esp the gondolas. Liftopia saved us money on tixs. Save more money on condo by mammothrentalbyowner.com, use budget tab, which will also give you 20% off rental ski equip with Black Tie. First time vistors to Mammoth resort get discounts by getting Mammoth benefit card. With a family of 5 snowboarders, we are very budget conscious.

I just got back from Mammoth with over 8' of new snow. It was truly the best skiing I've ever done and I got all of my lift tickets through liftopia.

Liftopia saves money. I'm from a big BC resort and we don't anything like this in Canada, so it's surprising to get a good deal on a lift ticket. I loved the avi chutes, also the tree runs, off 22 and 25.

Lots of terrain -- can't do it all in one day. Incredible snow. Be ready for altitude -- short breath on first day. March 16-17, fresh snow. Avalanche and Gravy chutes were great. Fantastic skiing off of Chair 22.

Best to go during the week if you can.. There were no crowds or waiting in line. The snow was good, Eagle Lodge started to get slushy by late morning.

If you forget your printed tix, show the ticket desk the liftopia confirmation email on your smartphone and they'll scan the barcode. Not that I would ever forget anything....

Definitely a family type resort with a handful of steeps. Feels a lot smaller than it looks on a trail map and definitely not for the true skier. Also well over priced compared to resorts in Tahoe but great place for fun in the sun.

If you are a beginner, start out with lessons at Eagle Lodge. It doesn't seem to be as crowded as Main Lodge.
Also, start out around Eagle Lodge and do Chair 9 early since that is where the sun is most intense early in the morning. Check out the back side after lunch. It's usually less crowded.
Cornice is awesome! Scotty's is a bear!

Liftopia worked great. Saving the email confirmation on my iPhone allowed me to redeem the ticket via a barscan without requiring the printed paper. Skiing at Mammoth was fantasic!

Mammoth is great if you get there right after it snows otherwise the wind magically blows that 15 foot base away in a couple of days. If you like the groomed runs there is not a better resort in California.

You always need to check the weather before visiting Mammoth. The place is very wide. If you are a beginner, please try Eagle Express first at $48 flat rate for Adult/Youth. The second day, you better buy $92 full courses ticket. Enjoy! I/my kids really liked the area.
