We have put together some of the basic info on this incredible resort. But to find out more take a look at their website.
Official Resort Website: www.MammothMountain.com
The resort is split into 3, there is Main Lodge, Canyon Lodge and Juniper Springs.
Each area has its own park and pipe, cafes and bus service. A piste map will be posted soon.

Mammoth Mountain is one of California's biggest resorts, it readily accepts snowboarding and proves it year after year with the excellent Terrain Parks and the 3, yes that's right, three Halfpipes. If you have ever watched a Standard Films Production then you have already seen Mammoth in action, and with stats like these you can see why they choose it: 150 Runs : 120 Km 30% Black 40% Red 30% Green Vertical Drop 3 696m to 2 424m 29 Ski Lifts 3 Fun Parks 3 Halfpipes   Snow measured at 2040m Average 1000 cm 04/05 = 1500 cm !! There is a free bus service which runs around mammoth town and up to the resort. This allows freedom of movement to all the sites, the gym, concerts, shops and cinema.

  Laundry costs: The bed linen needs be washed on a regular basis, but your clothes are up to you. The laundry facilities in Mammoth are good, they are located in every complex and there are 2 in the centre of town. It is $1.25 for the washing machine, 25 Cents for 15 mins in the tumble dryer and 50 Cents for a portion of washing powder. So a total wash and dry will cost about $2.25

  Towels: Bring your own towels

  Drinking water: The tap water in Mammoth is drinkable but very chlorinated. As with any foreign country it will take a while to get used to it so it is advisable to drink bottled water. This will cost about 75 cents a litre in Vons.

The Electricity
In the Us they run on 110V. This doesn't have the juice to power British appliances. What you can do though is buy an inverter which provides 220V.
DO NOT BUY IN ENGLAND, if you buy this in England you will pay about £70, if you buy this in Ace hardware in mammoth you will pay $10. This device is safe and allows the use of hairdryers, shaver and stereo.

Kitchen
  The kitchen will be fully equipped and available for everyone's use at all times. As it is a common kitchen its cleanliness must be maintained at all times by ALL seasoners.

The backcountry in Mammoth is a lot more wild than its European counterparts. By this I mean it takes a lot more skill and knowledge to safely ride the plentiful supply of powder. One of the musts in mammoth though is the 'Hole in the Wall', it is a natural tunnel through the rock and you can't quite grasp the concept of its size until you are passing through.

Kickers
The spots to build kickers in mammoth are actually harder to find than their European counterparts. You have to walk that little bit further but when you are going to be trying rodeos and superman frontflips its worth the trek. A real benefit to kicker riding is to try tricks you wouldn't want to try in the park. There is nothing better than a day at a kicker, knocking back in the sun and snapping a few shots. Then once you have them dialed step into the park which is HUGE and let rip.

The price you pay Seasonaires for your trip includes all the main expenses that would be incurred by every individual doing a season.

Telephones are simple to use and phone cards can be purchased from all Phone cards can be bought from Vons the supermarket for $5, 10, 15, or $20. The higher the value the less the call charges per minute. You dial via a freephone number so you get about 18 minutes of calls for a $5 dollar card. The best thing to do though is get the person you're ringing to ring you back!

Internet - The library is free to use for an hour a day if you join. It does get busy when everyone comes off the hill for the day.
If you have wireless capabilities then the Looney Bean coffee shop has access.

Car Hire
If you want to to see a bit of LA or Renobefore you head to Mammoth it is a good idea to hire a car. This isnt the most economical way to get to the resort as there is a fairly hefty one way drop off charge.

Accident Protocol
We hope that nothing will happen and no one will get sick but we would be silly not to prepare for an incident. It is comforting to know that if anything was to happen a competent reliable person is going to be there with all the relevant information and experience needed. All seasonaires complete a medical information form and provide emergency contact numbers and names.

The Hospital
Is located in the centre of town and has a very good and friendly team of ER staff. They have full facilities and run a transfer program with Reno which has a number of very specialist doctors/surgeons.

Cost
The hospital will tell you that they are unable to bill travel insurance companies and ask you for the money there and then. This is not strictly true. The only cost you may incur will be if on discharge from the hospital they prescribe medicine from the pharmacy. Any medicine taken before you leave the hospital will be put on the insurance bill.
  The prescriptions aren't to expensive and most insurance policy's have an excess and the cost of prescriptions being paid for by yourself will be classed as the excess.

How to Pay
Upon admittance you will be given a form to sign saying you will be legally bound for the expenses. This is fine to sign as all medical expenses will be covered by your insurance and so you will incur no charge. Upon checkout state all you have is $1 pay that and leave your US billing address and your UK address for billing. It will then take 14-21 days to receive the invoice which you keep and send to your Insurance company upon return to the UK. the only criteria to fulfill is to contact the Insurance company before or soon after the hospital treatment to notify them.

First Aid Kits
   It is advisable to take your own first aid kit, even though there will be one available. In your personal first aid kit you can collect the contents that will be useful to yourself. The standard treat at home requirements are :
Plasters, Steri strips, Steri wipes, Arnica cream (you will have bruises), lemsip, painkillers.
A good first aid kit is available from www.thesnowboardshop.co.uk, this contains the basic tools and will need to be personalised with your own requirements.

Pubs/Bars
The legal drinking age in the states is 21, this for the home, bbq or in a bar. You will need your passport or driving license to get served in a bar or a supermarket!!

Last season Lakanuki was the bar of choice for most Seasonaires. It serves good food and has Stella and Guinness on tap. If a Guinness connoisseur then do not go near it in the states. It generally comes with too much head, and look out for the spoon!!! However, Laka's is a good night out with loads of different things going on throughout the season.

There is also the Infamous "Whisky Wednesday" also known as "Wanker Wednesday". Did someone say a sausage fest?! A good laugh and pretty much destined to be a messy, hazy night out.

For laid back drinking, eating and pool there are a few other bars and restaurants in town. Clocktower, for pool and jugs with the locals. Dublin's / Fever for a traditional Irish / American bar club. Roberto's, for margaritas and Mexican.

Concerts
Mammoth Mtn put on some good concerts, US Crush and Pennywise were there this year with the Mosh Pit resembling something out of AmericanHistoryX.

Lake Tahoe is only 3 hours away with more resorts than you can shake a stick at and 5 hours to Snow Summit will see you in the park with a t shirt on.
