When You Want The Best, There Can Be No Compromise -Visit The Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort
You will find the Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort or plain Mammoth as it is popularly known around top ski enthusiasts' circles is indeed ranked as the best skiing park as per the research done by the popular magazine, Transworld Snowboarding. This resort is almost always found among the top world class skiing resorts in most popular ski magazines as well.
What Makes The Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort So Special
The ski resort has been developed on the Northern side of the mountain with the same name. There are no lodgings or accommodations arrangements on the mountain itself so the vacationers need to camp in the close by towns, such as the Mammoth Lakes Town, Bishop, and the like. This is a very popular destination for Californians because it is more approachable from this location than any other surrounding locations.
You will find that the ski resort has been designed to sprawl over a whooping fourteen square kilometers which has highly modernized and advanced facilities such as about 30 lifts out of which three are gondolas, exceptionally well planned chutes, snowboarding, skiing and other types of snow related sports.
The Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort is so beautiful, well planned and advanced that it is marked as the best choice as a training terrain for Olympic skiers and other top level professionals. The fact that the Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort offers the longest possible skiing season (from November to April) also adds a lot to its attraction.
The trails here are specially groomed for the best and highest level of skiers; but also for those who are yet to reach that level of perfection. Those who are looking for extreme challenges can visit the 'Unbound' which is one among the three exceptional terrain parks offered by this ski resort for experts.
The Downsides Of The Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort
In spite of the ski resort being one of the best in the world, it mostly receives tourists only from California and Nevada because of its difficulty in accessibility. The closest route would have you reach Reno Airport from where you would need to drive for about three to four hours drive to reach the Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort.
Fortunately, its extra long skiing season, commendable weather, exceptional snow conditions and extra large snowboarding terrain keep the people's interest up and very often it is over crowded. This is not the place however, for people who are not comfortable with remoteness and places that are relatively hard to reach.
