Tickets will be available for pickup at any of our base lodge ticket windows during operating hours or at one of our Express Ticket Pickup Boxes. Reservations including rentals may be picked up on-site in your selected rental location. Please ensure the information you provide is accurate to help ensure prompt delivery.

You may pick up your tickets immediately after purchase or choose to wait until closer to the valid dates. Additional ticket windows are available during select times at the base of Chair 2 (The Mill), Chair 4 (Roller Coaster Express), and the Mountain Center in The Village. Guests of Mammoth Lodging Collection properties may be able to fulfill ticket purchases at the front desk of their lodge.

Season pass and ticket cards at Mammoth Mountain use RFID, which stands for radio-frequency identification. It is a small circuit integrated into your pass/ticket card. When you pass through the lift gates, this circuit will register and open the gates for you. There are many guest benefits that RFID allows Mammoth Mountain to provide, such as direct-to-lift convenience, reloadable tickets and easier access to the mountains and lifts.

Once you have ticket in-hand, you can reload additional days of lift access onto your existing ticket and head straight to the lifts. Just select the "reload" option at the top of this page, choose your dates and type in the code on the front of your existing ticket, then proceed to check out. Head straight to the lifts without stopping by a guest services desk.

Please keep your lift ticket in a left-side pocket by itself while skiing/snowboarding at Mammoth Mountain. Our scanners are located on your left side as you go through the gates and cell phones, credit cards, passes/tickets from other ski areas, old Mammoth Mountain tickets can interfere with the RFID gates and delay your access onto the lifts.

No, holes must never be punched in season passes or daily lift ticket cards. The card has an antenna embedded that surrounds the embedded RFID chip. Any damage to the surrounding antenna will render the card inactive and must be replaced for a replacement fee.

No. The chip information in the card is not stored magnetically. Use of a magnet or other erasing devices has no effect whatsoever on the chip.

I'm buying a pass for a child, grandchild, or friend, how do I do this?

You will be able to purchase these products online. The parent/guardian (over 18) must build their profile first. The information for the pass holders is entered later in the process.

We do. Please visit our Uphill Access page for more information.

Please visit our Hours of Operation page for current hours and be sure to check our Lift & Trail Status page before hitting the slopes for real-time info on what lifts and trails are open.

Find out how to classify yourself to your instructor, and get your lessons started on the right foot. Knowing your level will help set the tone for your lesson, and kick your progression into high gear.

For your convenience, Mammoth provides a Ski & Snowboard School at each base lodge – Main, Canyon and Eagle. For our younger skiers and riders, we have a special area within Ski School called Mammoth Kids at each base lodge.

Always check to see which location you reserved your lesson at before arriving and please arrive 5–10 minutes prior to your lesson start time with all of your equipment. This will allow us time to assess your ability level and ensure that you are placed in an appropriately.

Do I need to book in advance?

Highly recommended. Popular instructors and lesson times book up fast. We recommend booking online or calling 800.MAMMOTH as soon as your plans are made, reserving tickets and rentals at the same time.

We recommend allowing at least an hour to get through the rental process and dress your children so they are prepared for their lesson. Rental shops open at 8:00 AM daily throughout the season, or you can pick up rental reservations between 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM the day prior. Aim to arrive 5–10 minutes prior to your lesson start time with all of your equipment. This will allow us time to assess your ability level and ensure that you are placed in an appropriately. Remember everything takes longer when it snows.

Helmets and eye protection (sunglasses or goggles) are required for all children ages 3–14 enrolled in Mammoth Ski and Snowboard School programs. Helmet rentals are available. For additional helmet safety information, visit NSAA's Lids on Kids website.

Lessons start promptly at the designated time. We recommend arriving at the rental shop at least 1 hour before lesson time in order for your children to be set up with equipment.

All kids need to be at least 3 years old, and must be potty trained – no diapers.

Kids ages 13–14 may feel more comfortable learning in adult or child-focused settings, depending on the individual. Parents may elect either Adult or Kid Group Lessons for this age range. Helmets and protective eyewear are required for anyone 14 and under, even while in adult group lessons. Adult Group Lessons have unaccompanied lunch time, and guests are not required to be signed out at the end of the lesson.

Because Mammoth is located at a high elevation, weather conditions can vary in a short period of time and the sun can be harmful to your skin and body if you're not prepared. Layering is the best way to maximize your comfort if/when the weather shifts.

Avoid cotton fabrics, as they retain moisture from snow and perspiration. Start with a moisture-wicking inner layer (such as wool or silk) and add an insulating middle piece (such as a fleece, sweater or vest). Top off with a wind and water-resistant shell layer to protect you from the elements.

You may include up to 5 people in your 3 & 7-hour private lessons. 1-hour lessons have a maximum of two students. In the interest of safety, lessons are geared toward the lowest skill level, so it is advisable to arrange your lesson group with similar skill sets, and not combine adults and young children.

Can I have multiple ability levels and age groups in the same private lesson?
This is not generally recommended. If you choose to do so, the instructor will choose the terrain that is best suited to the needs of the least experienced guest. When booking your private lesson, the more you can tell us about the experience you're looking for, the better we will be able to pair you with the best instructor for your needs.

Can both skiers and snowboarders attend the same private lesson?
This is not generally recommended as it is very difficult for an instructor to teach snowboarding while wearing skis and vice versa. We can do our best to accommodate a private lesson for both disciplines so long as everyone is at an intermediate level or higher. Please contact us to let us know if you will have both skiers and snowboarders so that we can match your group with an appropriate instructor.

Can I split the private lesson time between multiple people?
Yes, your time with your private lesson instructor can be divided any way you like. For example, if you purchase a 3-hour private lesson, your instructor could spend an hour with your 7-year-old beginner and 2 with your 10-year-old intermediate.

As one of the leading ski and snowboard schools in the nation, it is our mission to provide you with an outstanding learning experience. If you're not completely satisfied with your lesson, please speak with a Ski & Snowboard School representative within 72 hours and we will offer you another lesson of equal value free of charge.

High altitude means less atmosphere to filter the sun. Be sure to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes prior to hitting the slopes, then re-apply every 2–3 hours. Drink 10–16 ounces of fluid before hitting the slopes, and continue replenishing throughout the day. Focus on water and carbohydrate-replacing drinks. Modify caffeine and alcohol intake. Don’t forget to give yourself enough time and energy to last throughout the day. Visit our Safety & Conduct page for more information.

How are lunches managed for children's group lessons?
Our 5–7 & 8–14 year old group lessons include lunch, although locations and times do vary. For more information, please check in with your child's instructor at the start of the lesson. If your child has a food allergy or a specific diet, please pack a lunch for them.

WHAT IF THE LESSON GUEST IS SICK?
Stay home. Call 800.MAMMOTH or visit a ticket counter to reschedule.

DO I NEED A LIFT TICKET?
Yes, you must have a lift ticket to participate in any ski or snowboard lesson. Children 4 & under ski free, but must have a ticket or pass.

For all cancellations, please call 800.MAMMOTH or submit an online cancellation request.

• Free overnight storage
• Exchange and return your gear at any base lodge
• Swap equipment type (skis for snowboard or vice versa)

When will I pay for my rentals?
Total payment is required at the time of booking for advance reservations, or at the time of purchase if renting day-of or day prior in person at the rental shop or by calling 800.MAMMOTH.

What if I cannot decide how many days I will be renting?
If you did not pre-book a multi-day rental, you will need to return your equipment at the day's end and come back each following day you would like to rent. Should you decide that you would like to rent for a longer period of time, then inform the rental shop when you return your equipment and they will accommodate your request if able (depending on rental inventory during that time frame). Multi-day discounts will not apply.

When should I return my skis/snowboard rentals?
If only renting for 1 day, please return at day's end. If renting for multiple days, please return your rental equipment at the end of your last day.

What happens if I return my equipment early?
No refunds or credit vouchers will be issued due to wind, weather, or snow conditions.

How can I speed up the rental process?

Safety Checklist
The trails at Mammoth Bike Park are rough and demanding on both the bike and the body. Before riding always inspect your equipment or have it checked by a qualified bike mechanic.

1. Helmets are required for all mountain bike trails. Before heading out make sure yours fits correctly and is not damaged.
2. Assess safety pads for fit and any damage. Make sure you are wearing the appropriate pads for you skill level and that coincide with the difficulty of the trails you're looking to ride.
3. Inspect bike frame for cracks, damaged or dented areas.
4. Ensure you have sufficient brake pads to stop your bike while descending.
5. Front and rear axles (skewers) should be tight.
6. Headset and stem must be secure with no looseness or play.
7. Check that your tires are in good condition, with no tears or cuts on the rolling surface or sidewall.
8. Handle bar and handle grips must be tight and unable to spin. Seat and seat post need to be fastened securely.
   

If you are not completely familiar with your bike and its various components, these checklist items, or if you have any doubt as to your bike's condition, we highly recommend you check with a qualified bike mechanic for further advice. Visit The Gear Up in the Village for full-service repairs and tuneups.

We recommend a full face helmet, knee and elbow pads, sturdy shoes, gloves, eye protection & sunscreen. All protective items are available to rent.

Our trail network offers something for beginners through professionals. Starting with the Discovery Zone and ending with Velociraptor, there truly is something for everyone.

We have industry leading beginner terrain in our Discovery Zone and offer world-class instructors as part of our lesson program.

Most of our trail network is well-suited for a current enduro (5"+ of travel) full suspension mountain bike. However, some of our Expert and Pro-Line trails require a full DH (8" of travel) mountain bike.

No. We created a trail network designed specifically for mountain biking. Many of our trails do intersect or follow ski runs though. Ever wonder what Stump Alley or Broadway look like without any snow? Now's your chance.

Yes, class 1 pedal assist eMTBs are allowed on all of our mountain bike trails. Riders must follow the same rules as those on normal mountain bikes.

Yes, walk-ups are welcome for bike repairs and tuneups at The Gear Up, located on the second floor of the Mountain Center.

18 holes, par 70

Yes. Men are required to wear collared shirts.

Restrooms are located at the pro shop, next to the 5th tee box, at The Divot, and near the 15th green.

No, but we have a short game facility.

10-15% or 1–2 clubs further. The higher you hit the ball and faster your swing speed, the more of a difference you’ll see.

6–8 on the stimpmeter early in the summer, 9–11 later in the summer. But don't let the slow-ish speeds fool you, our greens make up for it with a lot of slope.

We are located at 8,000’ and our weather can vary radically during the course of the season and even during the course of a day. Highs in June average 60–70 degrees with lows usually in the high 30's. In July and August high temperatures usually fluctuate between 70–80 degrees with lows int he high 40's. Be prepared – snowstorms have been known to hit as late as July and as early as September. Packing a light windbreaker can come in handy with early morning tee times and during the summer when the monsoon thunderstorms are present.

Deer, bears, eagles and ravens are all known to frequent the course. And be prepared for the squirrels to chirp at you during your back swing.

Groups should check in 20 minutes prior to your scheduled tour at the Adventure Center at Main Lodge to sign liability forms and pick up a Gondola ticket. From there, you'll take the Panorama Gondola to McCoy Station (the gondola's mid-point) where you'll meet your guide.

WHAT IS VIA FERRATA?

Via Ferrata is a mountaineering experience utilizing a steel cable, which runs along the climbing route and is periodically fixed to the rock every 3–30 ft. Using a Via Ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable with modern climbing harnesses, thus limiting the chance of falling. The cable aids guests with ascending and safety, while additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs, pegs and a suspension bridge, provide excitement and control on this exhilarating mountain adventure.

Anyone who meets our age, weight and minimal fitness requirements can do Via Ferrata. No prior climbing experience is required to participate.

Age: Participants must be at least 12 years old and meet the minimum weight requirement.
Weight Restriction: All climbers must weigh 88–264 lbs (40–119 kg). The weight limit is set by the lanyard manufacturer.
Fitness Ability: No previous climbing experience is necessary, but all participants must meet a minimum, but reasonable fitness ability. If you are able to climb up a ladder a few times and walk on uneven terrain you should be able to participate.

IS A GUIDE REQUIRED?

Yes, we have a guide accompany you on your adventure. We maintain a guide-to-guest ratio of 1:4 for private tours and 1:5 for group tours.

There is no minimum group size, however the maximum per guide-to-guest ratio is 1:4 for private tours and 1:5 for group tours. Groups between 6 to 10 guests will need to book a second tour.

All safety equipment is provided. Please bring sunscreen, snacks, a water bottle and sunglasses. We recommend wearing comforTable athletic wear and hiking or approach-style shoes. For your safety, climbers are not permitted to wear rings or dangling jewelry.

The Via Ferrata typically operates seasonally June–September, weather and conditions permitting.

Weather events such as lightning, thunder, rain, or snow may cause closures or delays.

Family can purchase a Scenic Gondola Ride ticket to go observe from the hiking trail below the cliff. Family may not pass the guide access closure, and may not stage at the top of the cliff, as they could inadvertently dislodge hazards causing injury or death to those below.

Your guide will determine what routes will be climbed based on the comfort and ability of the whole group. For private tours, as time and ability allow, multiple routes can be attempted within the 3-hour tour time. Group tours include 1 route down, 1 route back up, and the bridge.

We supply all safety equipment including harness, lanyards, and helmet. You must use safety equipment provided by Mammoth Mountain.

Cell phones and cameras are not permitted for use during your climbing experience but may be secured in your backpack.

Yes, you can fall. Your lanyards are attached to a steel cable parallel to the climbing route, which will arrest your fall. Via Ferrata is designed to reduce the probability of falling and minimize the risks sustained in a fall.

Your guide will customize your experience to match your preferred intensity level. There are connector trails to exit the Via Ferrata from the bottom and top of our routes. If there is an unusual mid-route circumstance, the guide can always add security by providing an additional rope (top-rope belay). A participant can also climb down from any point on all the routes. Via Ferrata can be used to climb both up and down.

The initial deposit is $2000 due at the time of contract signing.

A wedding venue tour is complimentary. Please contact the catering department to schedule your tour.

Your catering sales manager will help you to determine if your preferred wedding venue is available on the date that you are interested in. When a date and venue are decided, a hold will be placed on the date and venue of choice and your catering sales manager will draft and send you a contract. Once reviewed, you will sign your contract and send it back with your first deposit. When you receive your countersigned contract, your wedding date and venue are official.

The first step is selecting your wedding date and wedding venue. Your wedding menu selection can take place after that, and does not have to be finalized until 30 days prior to your wedding date.

Your tentative guest count is due upon contract signing. But, of course, numbers are expected to fluctuate, so the final count is due 30 days before your wedding.

A group rate will be set for your guests at the Village Lodge, Juniper Springs Resort or Mammoth Mountain Inn. Your guests can make their own reservation by calling 800.MAMMOTH.
