Mammoth Mountain has announced a blizzard of improvements designed to get skiers to the slopes faster, a better culinary experience, a new high-speed quad and a snow tube park for the whole family.
Mammoth will have new seasonal air service from San Diego and Orange County and additional options from San Francisco, as well as continued service from Los Angeles and San Jose. It is installing a new Doppelmayr high-speed quad chairlift to replace Chair 5, a fixed-grip three-seat lift. The new lift, the High-Five Express, will whisk 2,400 people uphill per hour (600 more people per hour than the old chair) and will cut the rid time in half.
Skiers and snowboarders at Mammoth will enjoy direct-to-lift access thanks to a newly installed RFID gate system. The new system will help eliminate two of the largest issues for any ski resort — cumbersome lines at lifts and ticket windows. By using MyMammoth passes that can be re-loaded with lift access credits online or over the phone, guests can bypass ticket windows altogether and head straight to the lifts.
Mammoth has improve Unbound, its terrain park and is opening a snow tube park. It is also planning additional new products, programs and guest service initiatives. Beginning Oct. 1, Mammoth is offering a reduced-priced season pass for the coming winter season. For more information, visit www.MammothMountain.com.
