MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. — After a successful first winter season, Horizon Air is expanding air
service to the Mammoth Mountain resort for the upcoming snow season. In addition to adding a second
daily nonstop from Los Angeles, Horizon will offer new daily nonstop service from San Jose and Reno
and direct (same-plane, one-stop) service from Seattle and Portland.

The Mammoth Mountain resort area is just 15 minutes from the Mammoth Lakes Yosemite airport.
During last year’s inaugural season of service, thousands of Southern Californians took advantage of
Horizon’s 70-minute flight from Los Angeles instead of enduring five hours or more of driving.

“Our Southern California customers have made no secret of how much they’ve appreciated having such
quick and easy access to this world-class recreation area,” said Dan Russo, Horizon’s vice president
of marketing and communications. “Now, with Horizon Air’s expanded service, winter sports
enthusiasts from Northern California and the Pacific Northwest will be able to enjoy the same
convenience.”

The new service from Northern California and the Pacific Northwest is expected to introduce thousands
of new visitors to Mammoth – many of whom would not have considered it for a winter vacation
otherwise. Similarly, travelers from the town of Mammoth will gain an easier way to travel, with nonstop
service to Los Angeles, Reno and San Jose, and direct (same-plane, one-stop) service to Seattle and
Portland.

“The new and expanded routes on Horizon for next season put Mammoth within easy reach of
thousands of skiers and snowboarders who love to play big in the mountains and have dreamed of
visiting Mammoth for years,” said Howard Pickett, CMO of Mammoth Mountain. “Our guests loved the
flights from Los Angeles last year and they asked us for even more flight options. With this expansion
into Northern California, Reno and the Pacific Northwest, we are doing our best to deliver on that
request.”

Horizon is offering special low fares for flights on select days between Mammoth and each city. Fares
start at $49 each way from Reno, $69 from San Jose or Los Angeles, $144 from Portland, and $149
from Seattle.

The Mammoth winter season flight schedule will run from Dec. 17, 2009, through April 11,
2010, and is available for sale now at www.horizonair.com or by calling 800-547-9308 (TTY at 800-682-
2221).
