Mammoth Mountain
Over 3,500 acres, 150+ trails, and an 11,053 ft summit. One of the prides of Mammoth Lakes is the free town shuttle, which runs to the lifts so you can leave the car in the garage.
Ski season in Mammoth Lakes
Winter in Mammoth
Mammoth Mountain gets some of the deepest snow in North America and one of the longest seasons in California. Here are our favorite ways to spend it.
June Mountain
A quieter, family-friendly hill about 30 minutes north with views over June Lake. Often included on Mammoth passes.
Cross-country & snowshoe
Groomed Nordic trails around Twin Lakes in the Lakes Basin, plus miles of quiet snowshoe routes through the Inyo National Forest.
Tubing & sledding
Woolly’s Tube Park has lifts that tow you back up, so nobody trudges uphill. Perfect for kids and non-skiers.
Snowmobile & dog sled tours
Guided snowmobile rides through the backcountry or a dog sled run across snowy meadows. Book ahead on holiday weekends.
Après in town
Walk to breweries, restaurants, and shops, then walk home. The Village is a short shuttle ride away for more après.
