Last Day For Killer Deal To Mammoth
()
Road trip! LAist, at least this one, can't be more stoked for winter to come. Getting out of Dodge, fresh powder, hitting the mountain up early, apres-ski, cute snowboarders -- Los Angeles, you might not know this, but the buzz around the rest of the country now that fall is in full effect is winter. And winter means skiing, snowboarding, hot toddies and all things white for those of you who dig this sort of thing.
Mammoth Mountain is a great weekend trip with friends who partake and those who don't. For years, we've been going here and there, but this year, no mas! This year, we're buying a season pass and going to go as much as possible. The Silver Pass, the best deal, has an awesome special that is ENDING TODAY! But a silver pass, and get two free lift tickets (value $150) for free. You can use these yourself during a blackout period or give them to friends. How valuable is a pass? Well you have to go 8 times to break even. Not bad. And you have the luxury of not having to go to ticket window and plus you look bad ass with a season pass, it's just fact.
Worried about how the season is going to be? Farmer's Almanac says we're in for a snow-filled winter with a few different major storms rolling through. Colorado has gotten dumped on already, it's on its way in Utah and the Northeast. California, we're next! So what are you waiting for? Deal ends tonight at midnight.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
