Mammoth Mountain is known for:
- Extensive terrain: runs suited for young or first-time skiers as well as advanced riders.
- Terrain parks: Unbound Terrain Parks with jumps, rails, and multiple halfpipes.
- Long season: thanks to high elevation and heavy snowpack, lift operations often extend from early November through May or June, and summer skiing is not uncommon in good snow years.
