Ride Mammoth.
Mammoth Mountain in
sunny California is a ski resort of world-class quality.
The place is a snowboard mecca. From Olympic Gold medalist
Shaun White to Norwegian snowboard icon Terje Haakonsen, every year riders from
around the globe make the pilgrimage to this active volcano to ride the powder beast
that is named for an ancient wooly elephant.
Yes, crazy and true, Mammoth Mountain is an active volcano
and every few years the local press prints a story about someone getting
swallowed up by an open, Sulfur spewing, crevasse and dying. This mountain is a monster in more ways than
one.
Grab a tram ride to the peak on one of the many powder days
a year and you will see just how monstrous Mammoth really is. The place is
gigantic… with over 300 inches of snowfall a season, Mammoth is home to some of
the best powder skiing in the world.
Mammoth really is a part of so many vacation package deals that it has
become a world-class resort destination. Stay right on the mountain with ski in
ski out condos or stay in the village at one of the luxurious hot-tub-having
hotels and take a lift up to the hill. And the food is top notch too. Grab a
pizza and beer at any place in town and you will not be disappointed.
Anyone visiting California would love Mammoth. It has it
all, steep and deep pow, sick tree runs, arguably the dopest park maybe
anywhere with gaps, quarters, rails, massive tabletops, and a half-pipe set to
Olympic specifications.
On any given day you can see pro riders from around the
world boosting HUGE out of the park spinning like a school girl on a
merry-go-round. Take out your camera cause from the beauty on the peak to the
mind-blowing riding in the pipe you will have plenty of footage to make all
your friends on Facebook jealous.
Make no mistake about it… Mammoth is just that, Mammoth. It
is a real mountain and it gets cold so bundle up. Don’t let nasty weather send you in to the bar
early.
Here is what is coolest about Mammoth for any traveler… with
their airport now in full swing you can take a flight in from any city in Cali
and be there in no time. Coming from Texas are you? Grab a flight to LAX and
then be on the slopes in no time flat.
Book through Pleasant
Vacation for a cheap flight and be on your way tomorrow. Just get here and… RIDE MAMMOTH!!!
