So far my all time favorite resort with so many different options for skiing - will be coming again and again! The place has perfectly groomed trails, with a variety of options (from skiing in the woods to vertical drops). The lift locations make sense and it's easy to get from a lodge to lodge even though they're in various parts of the mountain.

Been coming here since I was a little kid so this place brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. Not only the resort itself but also the drive up with my family from LA county. These last few years it’s just been with the usual suspects and also my new lady. With the ikon season pass, you come out here a couple days and your really get your moneys worth since lift tickets here are crazy expensive now. As with any resort, my complaint is that sometimes the ski lifts have long lines but this is a massive mountain so as you make your way to the top lifts, the lines are generally smaller. Keep in mind that since this is a huge resort, it’s very easy to get lost so I suggest downloading an offline map on your phone. Also, be aware that if there are heavy winds, they will shut off the gondola that takes you all the way to where the Dave’s run signage is. This doesn’t happen very often but it’s not uncommon. This is a good place to bring family as there are all sorts of runs for any skill level. In addition, I’d recommend getting a ski in ski out condo so you don’t have to worry about finding parking.

Good mountain with lots of different trails for various levels of experience. Many trails are groomed nightly so it is always nice to hit the slopes on softer snow daily. The downside is that on the weekends it's gets really busy and the lines are long, so save your self some time and go on the weekdays if you can. The lift ticket prices are astronomical so buy in advance if you can, the other issue is their lift ticket scanners at the lift don't work half the time so that's the only reasons for the 4 stars.

First class ski resort. Best California has to offer, hands down. Recommend going midweek as the weekends are very crowded.

Are there any issues with purchasing a day lift and limited availability, due to Covid and the regulation of the number of skiers? I hear tell the annual passes are being given priority and daily sell out fast. Do I want to even try to ski there?

I have an ikon pass but the mountain has been relatively empty the last 3 weeks. My understanding is that they are preselling daily passes to control census but I have not seen/heard that people are running into issues getting them. Bigger issue is lodging. Hotels and short term rentals are all currently not (supposed) to be accepting guests so unless you are planning on coming up for 30 days or own a unit you will find it difficult to spend the night.

A lot of the time you are at least required to have them in the car, even if you never use them. Otherwise they may turn you back if it is actively snowing.

How are the blue and black slopes. Are they powder or hard icey snow?

Jon-Erik Seniguar | Dec 22, 2018
Danielle P | Dec 23, 2018

There's an OK coverage on the slopes right now, but gets slushy at the bottom by mid day. The black diamonds are icy in some areas but not terrible given the lack of snowfall.

On Mammoth Mountain's website it talked about beginner lift tickets. I was wondering if those are a good idea if you've only me been skiing two other times? And how much are they?

Emily P | Dec 22, 2018
C. S. Hennes | Dec 23, 2018

If you feel less than confident in your skills on the slope, it sounds like a great idea to purchase a beginner's lift ticket. It can be purchased at the ticket window and used on limited chair lifts.

Dose it snow in the mountains or normaly

Carson 1 | Dec 22, 2018
Conner Chu | Dec 23, 2018

Usually, if you live in the valley and it rains, it means that it is most likely snowing in the mountains. It snows pretty frequently in mammoth though. And if not, they pump snow.
