Mammoth is great ski resort with a lot of different type of terrain for different levels of skiing or snowboarding. I love the abundance of off piste terrain where you can create your own kind of fun! It's very family friendly their school is excellent with amazing teachers my daughter loved every minute of her lessons. There's plenty to do once you're done skiing for the day in the village. Good variety of restaurants and coffee shops. Accommodation can be a bit expensive depending on the time of the year your coming. But there's always Airbnb if your coming with friends.

Mammoth has something for every skier or snowboarder. It has tree skiing and steeps above the tree line Mammoth has a vast lift system. It can get quite windy at Mammoth and if the top of the mountain is closed for that reason they will normally keep some lower lifts open. In that event Chair 8 is almost always open and has some some fun powder runs in a storm as well as some black diamond ways diwn as well as good runs for intermediates. In a storm chair 21 is similar, that is usually remains open no matter how bad a storm is. Joe 21 is relatively short in Mammoth terms but has some fun ways down.

They may have to limit the number of skiers and boarders.Many times this place is way too crowded. The mountain is huge they need to open it up more and add more lifts.

It's a great mountain. Excellent terrain for any rider or skier of any ability. Legendary wind buff with the right conditions and probably the best spring skiing resort in the US.

Great mountain groomed runs towards mid and upper mountain were great. And snow towards the top was fresh and nice. Staff is always energetic and ready to help. Although food is very expensive like all resorts the food is average but after a day go skiing everything tastes delicious. Lift times are not bad 0-5 min on average. Most of the mountain is open and filled with an inviting and inclusive environment for everyone.

Great mountain with lots of varied terrain for everyone. The only issue is its location. Difficult to get to from the SF Bay Area
