Located in the heart of the Eastern Sierra mountain range in Central California, Mammoth Mountain is the embodiment of purest California. The vast, dramatic landscape ensures winter recreation at its finest with accessibility and affordability for all to enjoy. The jagged peaks and crystalline vistas surrounding Mammoth Mountain are dwarfed by her enormous size, extraordinary beauty and perfect 3,500 skiable acres; the ideal setting for a mammoth ski holiday experience. The Mediterranean climate and northern exposure provide an unbeatable mix of predictable and consistent snow with an average of 150 sunny days throughout the season. Last year Mammoth�s slopes received a huge 38 feet of perfect snow in what was considered an �average� season � this, in conjunction with the increased snowmaking ensure a long, world-class ski season, lasting from November until June.

Many visitors to Mammoth Mountain, particularly young couples and families, enjoy taking advantage of the resort�s close proximity to some of America�s most popular tourist destinations. Mammoth is located just 4 hours drive from LAX and only 2.5 hours from Reno airport. Qantas, United and Air New Zealand each fly direct from Australia to Los Angeles International Airport. This accessibility easily permits combination visits within California. A visit to Mammoth Mountain then on to Disneyland and Universal Studios is a very popular option, as is hiring a car or joining a tour and visiting some of the state�s other great sites, for example the San Diego Zoo, Alcatraz, Sea World and the Yosemite National Park. Visitors can enjoy a cultural American experience AND a sunny, world class ski holiday. The trip of a lifetime!
