Mammoth And Major Ski Trips

Mammoth Mountain
All the three day bus trips depart from the Tee Room Parking lot in Newport Beach at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. We leave the mountain at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday for the return trip. Trip fees include bus, two cocktail parties (BYOB), 3 nights lodging and optional daily bus to the mountain. We party on the way up and wind down on the way back. Most trips include movies on the bus both  up and back. Most  weekend trip dates revolve around the Schusski race schedule.  Racing is fun for ALL levels of skiing and a great way to to improve your abilities. Non-members are welcome to join our Mammoth weekends for a modest fee which can be applied toward your membership should you decide to join the club. Command Performance Sports in Mammoth gives our members a 20% discount. The midweek Mammoth Mountain drive-up trips are based on the car pool arrangements made by the participants. The trip leader will try to help people make contacts for car pools. The gas costs should be shared by the passengers in each vehicle. The trips feature a Sunday arrival and a Friday departure. This provides 4 or 5 days of midweek skiing and takes advantage of Mammoth's lower midweek condo costs. The trips include 5 nights lodging and cocktail parties in the evenings (BYOB).
