Chair 23 has some of the most challenging runs. It's a great mix for all levels with a lot of variety. The ski area usually stays open through mid summer. That is why we are skiing in shorts. Mammoth has 29 lifts and 150 runs. The top of the mountain is: 11,053' and the Base: 7953' Vertical Drop: 3100'.
