Mammoth by name and mammoth by nature, the California resort is known for it’s huge parks beloved by the pros but it also has world-class off-piste to enjoy. The resort is wildly popular so getting up the mountain early has its advantages if you fancy claiming some untouched pow.

There are huge bowls to explore and you can spend all day just cruising these. A guide proves useful when there’s so much back-country to explore as they’ll ensure you ride the best of the best. Make sure they take you to the ‘Hole in the Wall’ (pictured) and the ‘Devil’s Post Pile’. If you really want to make the most of Mammoth then hire some snowmobiles so you can really explore.
