Give yourself an added incentive to look forward to the weekend by taking a trip to Mammoth Mountain. Even with weekends typically being busier here, there’s plenty of room at this sprawling 3,500-acre resort area to have a fun, memorable, and personally rewarding time over the span of a few days. Below, the friendly folks at Mammoth Bound, the place to go for high-quality Mammoth ski rentals and snowboarding gear, highlight some of the most compelling reasons to take a weekend trip to Mammoth Mountain.
Plenty of Things to Do
The main reason to take a weekend trip to Mammoth is because of the incredible variety of things to put on your to-do list. During the winter months, your options include:
• Skiing and/or snowboarding
• Taking scenic gondola rides
• Hanging out at one of the on-site lodges
• Snow tubing at Woolly’s Tube Park
• Going on a snowmobiling adventure
Summers are just as fun here. Weekend activity options during the warmer months include hiking, biking, and having fun at the Main Lodge’s Adventure Center.
Convenient & Affordable Lift Ticket Options
Mammoth Mountain has flexible lift ticket purchase possibilities, some of which are perfect for weekend visits. For example, you could purchase an afternoon-only or single-day lift ticket if you only plan to do lift-related activities on one of your days over the weekend. Multi-day lift tickets can also be purchased if you’ll be coming here for an extended or holiday weekend.
Shopping & Dining Options Galore
If your idea of a weekend getaway involves local shopping and dining, you’ll love Mammoth Mountain. The Village at Mammoth even has its own shopping mall. With dining, some on- and off-mountain locations allow you to order ahead of time via your mobile device or online. Additional shopping and dining options can be found in Mammoth Lakes, which is accessible from the resort with free shuttle service.
Being Active Makes You Feel Good
The many activities to enjoy at Mammoth Mountain over a weekend can boost the production of chemicals in your body called endorphins that naturally make you feel good. You’ll then be able to return from your weekend trip feeling refreshed and in the right frame of mind needed for your daily grind.
You Don’t Need to Be Super Outdoorsy
Mammoth Mountain isn’t just for outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll be just as happy with a weekend trip that mostly involves scenic gondola rides, mingling with other guests in a comfortable, cozy lodge, or enjoying great meals at places like the summit-perched Eleven53 Café. During the summer months, Camp High Sierra can give you an equally enjoyable experience that’s not all that outdoorsy in a more amenity-rich setting.
You’re Welcome to Have a Fun Friends Weekend
Another reason to take a weekend trip to Mammoth Mountain is the ability to easily convince some of your besties to come with you for a “friends weekend” getaway. As a group, you can do things like take on-site skiing lessons or book a massage at Simply Massage Body Boutique in the Village at Mammoth.
