We finally made the trek to Mammoth Mountain last weekend for three epic days of skiing, snowboarding and hot tubbing. Our visit marked our first trip of the season and put Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain to shame. We still love our local snow resorts, but Mammoth earns its name. The winter season typically lasts until June, so there's still time to head north. Below are nine reasons why we love Mammoth and why we think you'll love it, too. more ›

Black Friday burnout? Couch Potato syndrome? If you are thinking about escaping the clutches of Los Angeles, the folks at Mammoth Mountain would be happy to see you.

After an earlier-than-expected season opening for Mammoth Mountain on Friday, officials had to close the popular skiing spot down as warmer temperatures made a return. "After a big storm earlier this week and great skiing and riding on Friday, record breaking warm temperatures rolled in, wreaking havoc on our snow in the process," a statement from the resort read. However, a storm in the near future could bring back the snow and lower temperatures. more ›

As we have been saying, if you're not heading up to Mammoth to ski, you'll be down here for the expected hot temps this weekend. The moderate rainstorm of the past couple days is creeping away and the heat is coming back. Expect temperatures from the 70s to even maybe the low 90s, depending on where you live (beachside, valleyside?). And as nice as the weather will be, is it a good idea to go swimming in the ocean? Some say not after the rain. more ›

Ah yeah, signs of the upcoming ski season! Today's storm over California is dumping snow in the Sierras up north. If it stays, we might be seeing an earlier ski season than expected. Curently, Mammoth Mountain is scheduled to open on November 12th, but depending on what happens over night, there is potential to see the popular skiing spot open earlier. Officials with the ski area say it's been snowing hard since 8 a.m. and about a foot has fallen in the main lodge area. more ›
