Quick—what's the fastest and least expensive place to hit the slopes this winter? You might be surprised—it's Mammoth Mountain. California's biggest skiing just got a whole lot closer. What used to be a seven-hour drive to North America's top-ranked ski resort is now just a $39, 55-minute flight away. Yep, it's cheaper than a tank of gas to Tahoe, and you don't have to worry about the traffic or chains. But it's not just about a shorter commute: at a peak elevation of 11,053 feet Mammoth's got quality and quantity. Take your pick from over 3,500 acres of epic terrain—accessed from three gondolas and 25 chairlifts (25!)—suited for beginners to advanced. Meet up for lunch at one of 11 on-mountain cafes, and, when the ski day's done, kick back and enjoy the après scene at the vibrant Alps-inspired ski village. (Tiki bar or trendy lounge?)
Unbeatable Package Deal: Get a four-day ski pass, four-nights of slope-side lodging, and round-trip airfare from San Jose for only $82 a day. (That's nearly the price of a lift ticket at some ski resorts!) But hurry, you have to book your package by Feb. 4. Save time, save money, and ski the biggest and best in California. That's Mammoth!
