Mountain Resort web link: http://www.mammothmountain.com/MountainActivities/WinterActivities/

Some people come to Mammoth for our 150 trails. Others for our 3,100 feet of vertical. A few show-up with their sights set on exploring our 3,500 acres of terrain. And the size-matters crowd shows up because we're the tallest ski resort in California with a peak elevation of 11,053 feet. Lovers of snow hang their helmets here because of our more than 400" of annual snowfall. Folks with family-sized bottles of sunscreen can't get enough of our more than 300 days of sunshine. With bluebird skies like that, winter never gets old and sticks around for a long time -- our season typically runs from November until June. At a minimum. But the one thing everyone comes for is to play big. And there's no better venue on earth than Mammoth Mountain.

Playing big by the numbers

• Over 3,100 vertical feet  •  Over 3,500 skiable acres  •  Over 150 named trails
• Over 300 days of sunshine per year  •  Top elevation: 11,053 feet
• 28 lifts (includes 9 high speed quads, 2 high speed six-packs and 3 high speed gondolas)
• Winter season: approx. November to June
