Ski Area Summary

Mammoth Mountain

Mammoth Mountain is a top ski resort in the United States located in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The resort boasts over 3,500 acres of skiable terrain, beautiful scenery, and a lengthy ski season. The best trails are the black diamond runs, such as the Paranoid Flats, which offer challenging terrain for advanced skiers. An interesting fact about Mammoth Mountain is that it is a volcano, and its last eruption was about 57,000 years ago. For beginner skiers, we recommend the gentle slopes of Little Eagle, which offer a great introduction to skiing. For an apres-ski drink, head to the Mammoth Brewing Company, which offers a range of locally brewed beers and delicious bites.
