Covid-safer requirements .... 

​Here are a few important rules and updates for your trip to Mammoth Mountain  . . .​

• Stay home if you are feeling sick or are exhibiting symptoms of illness. 
• Wear a mask (not perforated, ventilated, or thin, single-layer neck gaiter style face coverings) indoors, in lift lines and on lifts, in gondolas, shuttles, and when social distancing with others outside your travel group is not possible.  
• Wash hands thoroughly and often. Sanitizing stations are also available around the resort when hand washing is not feasible.  
• Respect capacity limits for indoor spaces, including stores and restaurants. Mammoth has created many new outdoor spaces for dining, and expect that much of the food and beverage service will be grab and go.
• Practice social distancing, allowing six feet of space between yourself and others outside of your travel group. 
• Please adhere to all signage and guidelines while visiting, including those directing walking patterns and one-way entries and exits. 
• Please avoid congregating in common areas whenever possible. 
• Please respect employees at all times, including while enforcing COVID-19-related regulations. 
• The Mountain is disinfecting high-touch points (railings, bathrooms, door handles, tables, chairs, etc.) and high-trafficked areas (gondolas, ticket windows, elevators, doors, guest rooms, etc.) throughout the destination more frequently.
• Instruction is available, but will be limited to private lessons for groups traveling together. Its a good idea to schedule as far in advance as feasible to insure availability.

Get Your Grub On

Like most everything in 2020, on mountain dining will look a little different this ski season. Indoor dining will be severely limited, but Mammoth has invested a whole heap of time and energy in building new dining venues and new outdoor areas. There will be a new focus on grab-and-go meals and drinks to reduce in-lodge crowding.

​Consider ordering your food in advance using the Mammoth App. Click here or on the photo to go to Mammoth Mountain's app info.

Thanksgiving Week Update

​Update Nov 16, 2020: Ski passes for Mammoth Mountain are SOLD OUT for the week of Thanksgiving, from Sat, Nov 21 to Sunday, Nov 29.

The Good News: Ikon Pass holders do not need a reservation and won't be limited from the mountain.

The Hidden Possibilities: 

1. If you plan to ski for 4 days, consider buying an Ikon Session Pass. This pass gives you the same priority benefit as an Ikon pass, but is less expensive since it's limited to 4 consecutive days this season. Click on the Ikon Pass image to go to Ikon's sale page for the Session Pass.
2. Call (800) 800.MAMMOTH to find out if afternoon passes are available. These are usually more avaiable than full day passes. The mountain urges you to call as soon as possible to make afternoon ticket reservations. It is very likely that these passes will sell out for Thanksgiving week (if they haven't already).

Update: Nov 13 -- Mammoth Opens EARLY! Against all 2020 kinds of odd, Mammoth will open early this year, thanks to an decent storm last weekend and some of the best snow-making conditions in years.

Lifts planned to open include: Broadway Express (1), Panorama Gondola to McCoy Station, Stump Alley Express (2), Face Lift Express (3), Unbound Express (6), and Discovery Chair (11) giving access to 10 trails, 12 jibs and one 30’ jump.
