[quote=flu]Are you concerned about the general fiscal situation @ Mammoth right now?

I mean, just saying that they closed June mountain, and the available ski seasons seems to be sporadic recently….

Not trying to be a fear monger… I haven’t researched what’s really going on up there… but in case you missed it…

I haven’t been to Mammoth in so long. The issue is being down here in SD, I’d rather just hop on a flight to Utah or go to Tahoe.Personally, I’d pick Tahoe over Mammoth, but that’s just me..[/quote]

This year they’re offering a weekday pass to ski ALL of January, starting Mon 1/7, for $249!

That’s an awesome deal but must buy online by tomorrow midnight. Lodging, however, starts at about $140 per night (assuming you are a hotel-chain and AAA member).

The on-mountain resort properties are almost as cheap (inclusive of lift tix) but that pesky 20% night “resort fee” PLUS the 13% TOT is a killer, IMHO.

Bus service to Mammoth Mtn bases (5 mi from town) is FREE!

It’s going to be a “bluebird” week. It is 100% open and has a 266″ base from December. Snow is expected tomorrow but then nine days of sunshine and just 4-7 mph winds, which is VERY rare for Mammoth Mtn 🙂

I SO wish I was there NOW :=(
