About Mammoth Mountain
Mammoth Mountain is California's premier ski resort, a massive dormant volcano rising from the Eastern Sierra with 3,500 skiable acres and one of the longest seasons in North America — regularly skiing into June and occasionally July. Its proximity to Los Angeles, just five hours by car, makes it the natural destination for Southern California's skiing population, and its wide, varied terrain suits everyone from beginners on the gentle Discovery area to experts tackling the steep chutes off the summit. The town of Mammoth Lakes at the base provides a full resort community with strong dining and accommodation options, and the resort's consistent investment in snowmaking mitigates the year-to-year Sierra snow variability that affects all California ski areas.
