Safety Squad

Learn more about Ski Area Safety! Find a member of our on-hill Safety Team in the bright YELLOW jackets, answer the safety question of the day correctly and win prizes! The Safety Squad will be roaming the hill daily, but if you're hoping to catch them at a specific location they'll be tagging along with Woolly during his daily adventures. Check out the "Where's Woolly" schedule here. To find the Safety question of the day check our daily Snow Report!

A Day in the Life of a Patroller and Mountain Operations Tour

Spend a day with the men and women in red on Tuesday, January 17th! Come experience a day in the life of a Mammoth Ski Patroller and learn the different aspects of this exciting and challenging job. Explore the mountain through the eyes of ski patrol, check out the "gun station" where avalanche control is conducted after snow storms, learn about our weather methods and watch a demonstration with our avalanche dogs. Space in this activity is limited (sign up via e-mail: pschaefer@mammoth-mtn.com or contact Phil at 760.934.0645)

Afternoon Sweep with Patrol

What's a sweep? It's our version of tucking Mammoth in and wishing her a goodnight. Take the last run of the day with members of our Patrol Team, as they "sweep" the Mountain to make sure no one is left behind, injured or lost. Meet at the top of Facelift Express (Chair 3) or High-Five Express (Chair 5) at 4pm daily to participate.
