Pros: Big, big, big mountain with lots of snowfall and a challenging selection of runs, affordable
Cons: Hwy 395 is borriinng, not for night life lovers
Summary: Mammoth is Southern California's mountain. Most of the folks who ride here live in LA, OC or SD and make the long drive up 395. If you are flying in to Tahoe/Reno there are other closer resorts, so Mammoth goes a little under the national radar.

Pros: Great skiing
Cons: The Motel 6 has better accommodation.
Summary: You can not take away that the mountain is superb. Skiing was great and the mountain side operations (not including the lodge) were great. The hotel operation should be an embarrassment to the management. Our recently remodeled room, at $ 170 per ... read more

Pros: Great runs throughout the resort.
Cons: Pricey not so nicey!
Summary: The lift attendants are friendly and willing to lend a hand to a beginner. If you are new to skiing or snowboarding, Mammoth has you covered. They have expert ski and snowboard instructors that help you get down the mountain in one piece.
