Mammoth Mountain: Tucked in the Inyo National Forest along the east side of the Sierra Nevada is the Mammoth Mountain ski area. Mammoth is renowned for its long ski season; it is typically open from November through June, and has even stayed open until July 4th. Served by 28 lifts, including three gondolas, the resort offers up a variety of terrain for skiers and riders of all levels. There are eight terrain parks for the park lovers, and even a Super-Duper pipe (one of the few in the world). Mammoth is the only resort in North America to offer three different-sized halfpipes. One little-known fact is that Mammoth employees aren’t allowed to have beards. Check out steep and deep discounts on lift tickets for Mammoth Mountain at GetSkiTickets.com!
