Ski holidays Mammoth Mountain - Skiing in California

The ski area of Mammoth Mountain is indeed unique: it is situated on the side of a dormant volcano and experiences on average ten metres of snowfall each winter. It isn't in vain that it is considered the Mecca for Los Angeles' ski fans! There's a reason why residents say "We don't measure in inches, but rather in feet." While the deep snow seekers and the ungroomed slope skiers stick to the upper areas of the volcano, those who like to savour their ski experiences can slide along the middle and lower parts of the ski area or glide through the woods. Mammoth Mountain not only caters to expert skiers, it also has plenty for family travellers. A great day trip destination is the June Mountain, a small ski area just 32 km away, with wonderful sunny slopes and quaint lodges. Mammoth Mountain – Skiing in California.
