Mammoth Mountain
Eastern Sierra · CA
3,100 ft vertical · 180 trails · 350″ snow/yr
Lift from $119Ikon
Class 1 only e-bikes
The 2026 season ran May 22 to September 13. Lower trails open first around Memorial Day weekend and the summit opens as the snow melts.
High-alpine bike park dropping from 11,053 ft.
One of the oldest and biggest lift-served bike parks in the country, with more than 80 miles of purpose-built singletrack on a volcano that tops out at 11,053 ft. Ride the Panorama Gondola to the summit for Off the Top, lap the beginner Discovery Zone, or session the pro lines. Every level fits, but bring water and pace yourself: the air is thin and the runs are long.
