"Mammoth is Great Skiing!" Mammoth Lakes by giampiero6

Mammoth Lakes Travel Guide: 256 reviews and 505 photos

One minute you're in the Mojave Desert, the next you're in the majestic Sierra's. Life is good! I've done a fair bit of skiing in Colorado and in the Italian Alps and I have to say that Mammoth offers really great skiing conditions. Warm weather usually, lots of snow, tons of terrain, good lifts and equipment, and varied rides.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Huge Terrain and tons of reliable snow. Now good nightlife too.
  • Cons:LA crowds. Sometimes windy.
  • In a nutshell:Mammoth is Great Skiing!

    ok so where are the lakes? now is this mountain in the sierras'? hubby's friend was telling us all about snows in Sierras "that can be seen from his backyard". hubby says there is more snow on our drive way at this time :-)

    Great page. I grew up in Bishop (you drove by on your way to Mammoth). Thanks for the memories....Mammoth is wonderful, great job on your pages. People are still going to Wiskey Creek, huh...

    A very nice page - hope to drive this 5 hours from LA through Mojave Desert this year but not in winter.
