More About Us
Employee Action
Every year over 350 of our full time employees work between 3-15 hours volunteers to pick of hundreds of bags of trash in and around Mammoth Mountain's 3500 acres. Our employees also volunteer an incredible amount of their own time to the community in volunteer capacities. Whether its on the volunteer fire department, volunteer trail work, coaching soccer and t-ball, or back country search and rescue and avalanche control awareness our employees go above and beyond the classic their 40 hours a week.

Bob Bradbury
Bob has been at Mammoth for over 34 years (a scary thought) mostly on the vehicle maintenance side with a strong engineering back ground. In 2001, he was brought in to establish an energy management and energy conservation program at Mammoth. In the early 1980's he did a wind energy research project with the California Energy Commission and has done various energy reduction projects at Mammoth over the years. As part of establishing the energy program, he did surveys on all the facilities at Mammoth (corporation wide) to see where we should concentrate our efforts, to include recommendations, which are checked off when completed. Additional recommendations are added as we move along. As part of the energy management side he tracks monthly heating and electricity usage at Mammoth Mountain where practical, which includes snowmaking. It is tracked by cost and also by millions of BTU's. As energy improvements are made we can track the reduction in usage in that area going back to 2000. Like most people Bob is a transplant for the LA area where he was going to be a lawyer, but moved to Mammoth instead. Not a bad choice.
