HISTORY OF SKIING AT MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is a large ski resort in the western United States, located in Eastern California along the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range in the Inyo National Forest.
Mammoth has more than 3,500 acres of skiable terrain, serviced by 28 lifts. The area has 3,100 ft. of vertical rise, and with a peak elevation of 11,059 ft, and heavy annual snowfall the resort enjoys a long ski season.
The resort was founded in 1953 by Dave McCoy, and from 2005 to 2017, it was owned by the Starwood Capital Group under the entity Mammoth Resorts. Mammoth Resorts also operated June Mountain, Bear Mountain, and Snow Summit.
In 2017, Mammoth Resorts announced its sale by Starwood to a partnership of Aspen Skiing Company and KSL Capital Partners, later named Alterra Mountain Company.
The ski area is located on the north side of Mammoth Mountain in the volcanic Long Valley Caldera. Overnight guests stay in the town of Mammoth Lakes, California and occasionally in neighboring towns such as Bishop and June Lake. June Lake's ski area, June Mountain is also owned by Alterra Mountain Company. The top of the mountain has challenging chutes and groomed as well as mogul runs. There are eight Unbound terrain parks. Unbound Main, adjacent to Main Lodge, is highly praised by extreme snowboarding and skiing enthusiasts, and is one of the major attractions of the ski resort.
Mammoth Mountain also has one of the longest ski seasons in North America, which averages from the start of November to Memorial Day. The resort occasionally enjoys a longer season, as in 2016/2017, when it opened on November 8th and did not close until August 6th. The 1994–95 season was Mammoth Mountain's longest, with the resort operating over ten months from October 8 until August 13.
The 2016–2017 season was the third snowiest on record, with 618 inches (2010-2011 with 668.5 inches was the second snowiest, and the current 2022-2023 season total holds the record with 715 inches so far at the main lodge, and nearly 900 inches at the summit). January 2017 was the snowiest month in Mammoth history, with 246 inches. Mammoth receives an average of 290 inches of snow per season.
As recently as the 1980s, senior citizens could ski on Mammoth Mountain for free. As of 2006, those aged at least 80 years may ski for free.

Mammoth Mountain is located in California's Eastern Sierra, approximately 100 miles south of the Nevada state line and 50 minutes from the Eastern Gate of Yosemite National Park. While the ski area is located in Central California, it is mainly frequented by skiers and snowboarders from Southern California. Although it is a five-hour drive from Los Angeles via U.S. 395, it is much closer for Southern California winter sports enthusiasts than the Lake Tahoe area resorts, which are more accessible to the San Francisco Bay Area.
