I had never been to Mammoth Mountain before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. A relative advised us to stay in a condo near the Eagle Express lift and that made a big difference in our overall enjoyment. Also we were lucky to have perfect weather and kids that are adventurous and independent. They took off without us and... more

The drive to Lake George is a short, 15 minute drive from the Mammoth Lakes Village. The trailhead to Crystal Lake is on the right side of parking lot. It's about 2 mile hike up to Crystal Lake. There's a junction where one trail takes you down to Crystal Lake and the other goes up to Mammoth Crest. I went... more

Our family of four had a great time at Mammoth in early April. Snow conditions were a bit springy, but the company did a great job of keeping everything well maintained. We skied out of Eagle Lodge for 4 days and can recommend the super easy access from the car park, the 6 man high speed chair (so we never... more

I used to have a season's pass at Mammoth, but this year I ended. It is simply too crowded on weekends. If you think it's worth the drive to get fresh tracks after/during a storm...think again. You'll get two runs and then it will be tracked-out. The trouble is the Mammoth marketing machine is in full effect now with the... more

I travel across America every year changing my ski destination each year as many avid skiiers do. Given the fact that I reside on the east coast, traveling to Mammoth Mountain takes a great amount of time as the location is not proximate to any major airport. This ski area is among the poorest in delivering value I have visited.... more

I agree with several posters that Mammoth is just not the same, but then again, what is? I have been a regular skier at Mammoth for the last 34 years (including being a season ticket holder for the last 5) and of course it can't be expected to stay the same. It's probably because for so long it DIDN'T change... more

i have to admit that it's not the mammoth that we used to love. for years we have always had season lift tickets, and have used them dozens of times each year. but, after our experiences this year---it will probably be the last. the price increases alone might not have turned us off entirely, although it is kind of ridiculous.... more

If you are serious about Skiing it is hard to beat the slopes of Mammoth Ski Resort, long and challenging it would take days to cover all the runs. But something changed at Mammoth in the last year, it seems they no longer want families, they would rather cater to the rich, here are some examples; I was there on... more

What a pleasure ski-ing in Mammoth Moutain is! The mountain is great for all abilities with a decent amount of off-piste too. The lift operators were all very pleasant and really helpful for those not too sure about using the chairlifts. There were queues for the lifts but we never waited more than 5 minutes for any lift. The runs... more
