Horizon Air will be offering daily flights from April 12th through September between Los Angeles International (LAX) and the Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH), according to KPCC.
The flight is 70 minutes and priced at $69 each way. The airport is located about 15 minutes from Mammoth Mountain, and also near Yosemite National Park and Devils Postpile National Monument, if you're interested in activities beyond what the snowpack will offer in terms of skiing and snowboarding in the next few months.
The schedule will be as follows:
Between April 12 and June 5, flights will depart LAX at 3:20 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. From June 6 until Sept. 30, flights will leave at 4:20 p.m. and 6 p.m.
