Mammoth Mountain Resort Reviews

Mammoth has the best combination of snow and terrain in the West. Sorry Vail, Park City ALTA/Bird. The expert terrain is better than Palisades, ALTAbird and Big Sky. The resort is isolated, and despite its size, lacks some common pluses at other resorts, apres, on-mountain dining, restaurant/accomodation options etc. I am there to ski and don't care about all that. Did I mention this resort gets seriously dumped on? The first time I skied at Mammoth it snowed 8 feet in five days.

• Terrain, Lift Infrastructure, snow
• Weekend crowds, Isolated(could be a plus), on mountain dining, The LA crowd on weekends

Mammoth is probably the most fun mountain in USA. Has aspects of great mountains on par with anywhere. Usually warm and sunny and it gets tons of snow. Very good expert terrain all off the top. The best park scene anywhere. If winds shut the mountain down go 20 min to nearby June Mtn. A bit of a drive from socal or Tahoe but the area is uniquely beautiful. Lots and lots of doing options in a small town. Cool natural hot springs out by the little green church.

• Usually warm and sunny, Lots of snow, happy vibe
• Far from everywhere

Best mountain in the west blows doors on park city and Jackson hole way better than palisades and all of Tahoe way bigger than alta and snowbird combined way better snow than Tahoe where it rains way better snow than Jackson hole only bad thing is it is overpriced and crowded on Saturdays the only places that i like as much as mammoth is steamboat and mt bachelor and telluride utah has been way too crowded the last three years

Most epic sauce mountian in california (I havent been to tahoe), very fun for the whole family, many squeals and delights will be had. You can eat it on their double blacks at the top, or be a voluntary bowling pin on their gentle green slopes (i may run you over if you are in my way). The overall mountain is great. If staying for more than 2 days go get some normal food at the vons, other food is much to exspensive. The staff is very friendly (sometimes a wee bit faded), but overall very awesome. Watch out for chill guys smoking weed under chair 5

• Versatile Mountain in California
• Long periods of no snow and hard pack

I love Mammoth because it’s close but it is starting to get very crowded. Hoping that snowmaking can be focused on Canyon and Eagle lodge lifts to keep more of the mountain open throughout the year.

• Proximity to Southern California, lots of open space blue runs, great ski in ski out at Eagle lodge
• Crowded when Canyon and Eagle are closed, restaurant options overpriced and not many diverse options, blue/black terrain is limited.

I’ve skied all over California, Colorado, Germany and Austria. Overall, Mammoth is by far the best overall. Yes not perfect in all areas, but nothing compares to the overall experience for all levels of skier. I could go on for days about this place, but if you’ve ever been, or talked to anyone who has, or even looked at advertisements, you k ow what I mean. If you have never been, you MUST put this on your short list for a great week or long weekend of skiing and all the other fun activities!!!

• Length of season
• California prices

The drive from LA is a lot but it’s a solid mountain across the board. Don’t feel like I’m losing much at all when I go there vs Utah/Colorado mountains

• Lots of mountain to explore, fun city, really fun environment
• Distance from major cities

worst place I ever skied, there are vey litmeted options for food/drinks and not a lot of hotels I will not retrun to Mammoth, the food is terrible and made me sick i Had to go to ER in Mammouth hospital, I broke my leg because the repair shop in canyon lodge did wrong adjustment to my skies.

• verlocal for california
• very rude empoyees, food made me sick

A magnificent playground for all levels, the staff are charming and respectful. It's a no-logo resort that offers excellent quality slopes most of the time. Thank you to all the Mammoth teams.

• The service after the snowstorm and the exceptionally well-groomed slopes
• The parking lot fills up quickly, so you need to get up early to arrive around 7-7:30 am

Ethan and Karen in the ticket line made for a very accommodating and personal experience. Super friendly and generous people. Can’t wait for our next visit when we have hero’s like them to make our day special!

• Family friendly, kind, outgoing
