Best Place to Ski on a Pow Day” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Cloud Nine Express — Cloud Nine Express provides some of the best terrain to ski on a powder day, with plenty of glades to explore. A long traverse skiers’ right will take you to Wazoo where powdery double black tree runs are guarenteed to put a smile on your face. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”2. Best Lift to Lap on a Storm Day” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Chair 22 — Often times, when it’s dumping snow at Mammoth, the top of the mountain will be closed. This is when Chair 22 is at it’s best. With ample tree coverage, come here for some free refills. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”3. Best On-Mountain Food Spot” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]The Mill — Drink bloody marys and eat pulled pork nachos while laying out on a lawn chair at The Mill between laps for a perfect spring day. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”4. Best Park” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Main Park — This is Mammoth’s expert park. At its peak, Main Park is fully loaded with three competition sized jumps, jibs for days, a 22′ superpipe and more. Take a couple of warmup laps in the neighboring intermediate park, Forest Trail. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”5. Best On-Mountain Aprés Spot/Lodge” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Tusks Bar Sundeck / Main Lodge — Grab a drink and soak up some California rays on the sundeck—all while watching the pros throw down in Main Park. Less crowded than Canyon during the holiday season, Main Lodge provides access to the Panorama Gondola and some of the best terrain on the mountain. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”6. Best Groomer Run” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Cornice — Take Chair 23 or the Panorama Gondola to the top of the mountain to access Cornice Bowl. From there, race your friends all the way into Gremlin’s Gultch. The run will eventually spit you out at the bottom of the gondola. Rinse and repeat. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”7. Best Lift to Lap” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Chair 23 — Chair 23 provides an easy way to lap some of the gnarliest terrain on the mountain. Drop into the Dropout or Wipeout Chutes, carve turns down Scotty’s or have some fun down Cornice Bowl. Nothing but diamonds to ski here, folks. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”8. Best Gnarly Terrain” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Philippe’s — Accessible from the top of Chair 14, skate or hike your way up the ridge to the Paranoids and then go as far as you can, skiers’ left. Ski across the top of the spine and then drop into a steep entrance that eventually opens up for wider turns. Awesome on a powder day, but definitely experts only.[/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”9. Best Tree Run” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Outpost Glades — The backside of Mammoth offers some of the best tree runs on the mountain. Take Road Runner from the top of Chair 14 and stay on it until you pass beneath the chair. From there, drop in and find your own line all the way to the bottom, where you’ll wind up at Chair 13 and 14 to do it all over again. [/ultimate_heading][ultimate_heading main_heading=”10. Best Place to Stay On-Mountain” alignment=”left” el_class=”longform-heading”]Mammoth Mountain Inn — Located right next to Discovery Chair, Mammoth Mountain Inn provides a stunning view of the mountain as well as easy access to the slopes.
