TAKE A PEAK
Mammoth Mountain is about 300 miles north of the Los Angeles area along U.S. 395 and California 203. (Allow extra travel time for construction delays on 395.)
The Mammoth Adventure Center is the headquarters for tickets and information about all activities on the mountain. Call (800) 626-6684 or visit www.mammothmountain.com.
Admission to the Top of the Sierra Interpretive Center is free with the purchase of a gondola ride ticket, Bike Park ticket or season pass. The gondola takes you to the top from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Tickets cost $18 for ages 19 to 64; $14 for ages 13 to 18; 7- to 12-year-olds ride free with an adult.
An unlimited one-day pass for the Bike Park costs $37 for adults and $19 for children 12 and younger ($10 and $5, respectively, if you skip the gondola or the bike shuttle and pedal in).
