Travel Guide: Mammoth Lakes

Mammoth Mountain offers incredible snowboarding, stunning alpine scenery, and year-round outdoor adventure

Mammoth Lakes is one of my favorite places in Northern California. There’s nothing like waking up to crisp mountain air, endless blue skies, and fresh powder on Mammoth Mountain.

Whether it’s hitting the terrain park, exploring the breathtaking backcountry, or just soaking in the stunning alpine views, Mammoth has my heart. The energy of the mountain and the friendly vibe of the town and the overall fun that I’ve always had there makes me extremely happen.
