Snowboarding began in the Eastern Sierra in the mid-1980s and was one of the proving grounds of the sport's first pioneers. Since then, Mammoth and June Mountains have become top-rated ski resorts for snowboarding in the world. Consistently sunny skies, expansive challenging terrain and outstanding terrain parks have created a paradise where professionals live and train, and newcomers to the sport fall in love with the slopes.
Taking a lesson with one of Mammoth Mountain's certified AASI/PSIA instructors is one of the smartest descisions you can make. After a day on the slopes with us, your riding will certainly improve and you will know what we know - that the better you get, the more fun you have.
