Mammoth Mountain, CA – It’s been an epic winter at California’s Mammoth Mountain ski area with snowfall totaling over 55 feet this season, but that hasn’t stopped the resort’s mountain bike park trail crew from getting out the snow blowers and digging out the bike park trails for opening day.
From tomorrow through July 4, fans of groomed snow and fast singletrack can enjoy unlimited skiing and biking in one day for a combined ticket price of $79, which is $7 more than a standalone adult ski lift ticket. Those who don’t want to bring both ski gear and bike gear up to the mountain may add a two-hour bike rental from Mammoth’s new fleet of rental bikes from Rocky Mountain Bicycles or protective gear rental for $20 each.
“This year we’ve been blessed with a ton of snow so we’re still skiing and having a good time,” explains Mammoth Mountain Bike Park Supervisor, Mark Hendrickson. “We’ll be opening Mammoth Mountain to the top for both skis and bikes on July 4th weekend. Ride up the gondola with both bikers and skiers, get on the top and watch the bikers do their thing and watch the skiers and snowboarders doing their thing. It’s such a treat – we do have a really, really unique situation here.”
