Mammoth Makes Top 16 Ski Slopes in US

Posted by: Beach Reporter In: beaches| california| events

Only one California ski resort made Outside magazine’s top ski resorts list and it was Mammoth, where over 200 inches of snow falls annually, according to NOAA.  In addition to powder throughout the season (one of the longest ski seasons in the nation,) the sunshine breaks out often between storms and provides some softening of the snow, ideal for learning tricks.

With one of the fastest chair turn around times (around 8 minutes,) you spend more time on the slopes and less time waiting to ski.

Californians are proud of our many ski resorts– Tahoe, Mammoth, and Bear Mountain,  but we still travel and enjoy the slopes in nearby states. Life is great in the west. You’ve got the beaches in the morning, and the slopes in afternoon. Note: If you haven’t booked a Mammoth holiday yet, you better do it now. The Christmas holidays are generally a sell-out, or close to it.

Going on this weekend is the Silicon Valley Ski & Snowboard Festival. Held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, the event features many ski resorts throughout the U.S., plus discounts, packages, and local ski clubs in the Bay Area. sfskifest.com

Mammoth is my favorite place in Cal. I liked it so much that I left Newport Beach and live here permanently. The skiing in the winter is the best, but then all summer we’ve got the trails for mountain biking. I don’t think I could ever move back to the beach after experiencing this.
