It's such a long journey from the UK
In a nutshell
A great mountain for great skiers (or beginners).
kzapanta Says: Instead of writing down all the things and places you can go and camp, let me help you out better by leading you to a good website to start your search.Wondering if you should camp around Mammoth Lakes? Do you like mountain scenery, lakes, hiking, maybe fishing, and a major...
kcochran111 Says: Mammoth has some of the best terrain I've skied, and it's close enough for Southern Californian transplants to get there in under 8 hours. Head to the top if you're an expert and looking for a good share of double-blacks. If you're a beginner, I suggest "Sesame Street."
Ocean Harvest Seafood Restaurant: So-so Seafood
AkiSan Says: Here is why I hated this restaurant: I ordered a Shrimp Caesar salad for approximately $12.95. This is a salad you can get anywhere, even at a supermarket and be reasonably satisfied. My salad was served on a smallish dinner/side salad plate with several shrimp arranged on...
Hennesey: Central drinking hole
kzapanta Says: This is one of the new restaurants created in the Intrawest 'Town Center'. New, bright, sometimes loud, sometimes crowded 30 something crowd, expensive, no real culture.It does get busy for apres-ski since it is right next to the town gondola and the wanabes offloading down...
Lakanuki: Island Theme Restaurant Sports Bar
kzapanta Says: A lot of different theories about the name of this restaurant/sports bar/danceclub.The real story of how the name Lakanuki came to be is the owner named it such because at the time this restaurant was being built, his wife was pregnant and he wasn't getting any bedroom play....
kzapanta Says: Stuffed Pita bread with deli and produce with unique dressings.Where the local teens go to feed their appetite.
Hennessey's: The worst Irish Coffees in the world?
Helen196 Says: We really weren't impressed with Hennessey's. They were really busy on the night we visited, so we expected service to be a little slower - there were lots of families and big groups in there before us.We sat down and I think it took the waitress 10 minutes to bring our...
Helen196 Says: Dublins has a great atmosphere and gets really busy on an evening especially towards the weekends. The Guiness is good, and they don't skimp on the Jack Daniels!The food is OK , but could have been better if it was served warm and on warm plates. In fact the whole place...
John's Pizza Works: A bit rough around the edges but great pizza!
Helen196 Says: To be honest I really didn't want to eat here as it looked like a complete dive - tables not cleared away, kids running riot, scary looking customers etc! But the pizza was worth it. Huge portions for just a few dollars, and really tasty. If you're on a budget then this...
Helen196 Says: Lakanukis is a little bit of Hawaii in the mountains!We used to head here after a day on the slopes for many jugs of Coors Light and a plate of nachos. The staff are really friendly and very attentive, the bar is stocked with plenty of draught and bottle beers and every...
kcochran111 Says: Don't think that just because you're in a ski town, you can't go out and get down. Hit up Freeze in downtown Mammoth if you want to dance to some hip hop. Or do the moon walk... Bring a coat so you don't freeze in line--they've got a $2 coat check inside.
Helen196 Says: The free shuttle bus is a must if you want to get around Mammoth Lakes. Sometimes it's just too cold to walk!!We were quite a walk from Old Mammoth Road where some of the shops and bars were so we took advantage of the shuttle a few times. The timetables are stuck on the bus...
Helen196 Says: We booked flights on the Internet with American Airlines. We kept checking the prices all througout summer 2004 to wait until they were quite reasonable and eventually got a return flight for £380.Outbound was Manchester-Chicago-Reno,then as we were going to Miami afterwards...

If you're like me and you like Volcom, Bonfire, Vans etc you know how ridiculously overpriced it is in the UK, which is why you need to save all your pennies and have a spending spree in Mammoth! Wave Rave on Main Street is one of the largest snow/skate shops in Mammoth, and has SOOOOOOO much fantastic clothes in there you won't come away disappointed! Try Unbound in the Village as well - not as big but still carry good stock.
All of the shops had discount on snowboards and boarding clothes so I would definately wait to buy that board you want until you get there.
I wanted a Salomon Ivy and the cheapest I could get it for here was £280. In one of the shops it was going for the equivalent of £150 - I really wish I had waited, but I bought a Nitro Fate in the UK which was about £100 less in Mammoth :-( oh well!
What to buy: Snowboards, boarding clothes, gloves, hoodies, jeans, hats, bags, goggles
What to pay: About half of what you would pay in the UK e.g Volcom hoodie - £70 in the UK - £32 in Wave Rave

This is the mountain hangout of choice before, during, and especially after hitting the slopes. Spin the wheel if you're feelin' lucky!
The Yodler opens at 11 a.m. Just in case you don't feel like skiing, or need more liquid courage by then...

What a joke. Starwoods is making a P.R. report that they are increasing the pillow total of the town. Yeah, that's true but only for the luxury end. None for the normal accomodations most snow riders prefer.

In the summer months, take a shuttle from the Mammoth Lakes ski area to the Agnew Meadows trail head (on the way to Devil's Postpile) and explore the miles of trails visiting stunning mountains and alpine lakes. Perfect for a multi-night backpacking excursion. Don't forget the mosquito repellent!

With skiing/boarding being number one on everbody's wish-list around here, the prices are exorbitant. They aren't the most expensive I have seen, but they are definitely up there!
Adults (19 - 65) are $60 Sat-Sun and holidays. $57 Mon-Fri, Non-Holiday
Teens (13-18) are $45 and $43
Children 7-12 and old fogies, 65 and up are $30 and$29

614 inches of snow 2004/5 season
Helen196 Says: This is me and Chris in front of a pile of Mammoth snow. This is how much snow fell during 04/05. In fact it was already melting when we got there so the pile was probably higher than this before we got there! If you're planning a trip out there for skiiing or boarding I...
Helen196 Says: Little Grizzly is located in the Village Square.There's plenty of shops for you to spend your money on in the Village - Splash Bath & Body, Once upon a Christmas, Unbound, Livin' Art, Munchkins kids clothes and many more!
My stepdad's company has a condo at the base of Mammoth Mountain. Needless to say, when the time became available, my stepdad reserved the condo, and the vacation began!
Mammoth Lakes & Mammoth Moutain
We'd heard that Mammoth was rated one of the best resorts in the world for snowboarding so we decided to see if this bold statement was true. We departed on 9th April and after 23 hours of travelling...
Mammoth- The two faces of this outdoor destination
To start off with, the name Mammoth is only for the ski resort. Mammoth Lakes is the area that includes the town, surrounding residence and lakes of the area. For years in the past, Mammoth Lakes has...
I went to Mammoth with friends. I like snowboarding, but I really suck at it :) I was the only one with an SUV - my dear-departed Jeep Cherokee sport was still with us at the time - so I got to drive...
