Save Big At Mammoth Mountain This Spring

The month of February hit Mammoth Mountain hard. More than six feet of snow fell on the Eastern Sierra giant - and that was in the first 18 days of the month.

Because it possesses a snowpack that's approaching the 20-foot level, Mammoth looks to be spinning its network of lifts until Memorial Day, if not the 4^th of July.

With all that in mind, you might want to avail yourself of some special deals Mammoth has to offer this spring and - dare we say - summer?

First off, there's Ski for $53 plan, wherein you pay $212 for a 4 of 5-day lift and get the little-more-than-half-century cost per day. That works out to a $30 discount off the regular daily adult lift ticket price. There are also Ski for $53 plans for youths between the ages of 13-18 ($158), children between 7-12 ($105), and seniors between 65-79 ($105).

The only bad thing about this good deal is that the offer ends March 29.

Another spring offer you might want to check out is the $99 Slopeside Lodging deal. For a buck less than a C-note per night you can stay at the Mammoth Mountain Inn (Sundays through Thursdays) for as many days as you like. They also have a similar deal for weekends but that has a two-night minimum stay.
