FAQs

Where and when do I meet my class?

All classes meet near the SuperSign (the large trail map with electronic information scroll above) near Broadway Express (Chair 1) at 8:45 on Sunday morning. You’ll coordinate a meeting point for subsequent days with your instructor.

What if my class doesn’t fit my skiing level or goals?

We do our best to arrange participants in classes tailored to their skiing level. However, you may find your goals or skills don’t match with your group’s. Please talk to your instructor as soon as possible, ideally by mid-day Sunday if you feel you need a change. You instructor may be able to accommodate you or will arrange for you to join another class.

How long is each day of skiing?

Lifts open at 8:30 AM, and you will meet your group at 9:00 AM each morning. Classes break for about an hour around 12:00 for lunch. Instruction ends at 3:00 PM, but the mountain is open until 4:00 PM if you want to catch the last lift up.

Can I change my package type after I register?

Absolutely! We ask that you select your package when you sign up, but if you change your mind prior to camp beginning, just let us know!

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, you are welcome to bring the kids! We can arrange for discounted ski school or daycare for them so you will be able to freely participate in camp. Please contact us when you register and we will make sure the whole family is taken care of.

What if I can’t make it to registration?

If you think you might miss the registration and welcome party, please contact us ahead of time. We will arrange for you to pick up registration materials before lessons start on the first day of camp. You can also have a friend pick up your information for you.

How much should I tip my instructor?

Most participants tip around $100 to $140 for the week, but the amount is entirely up to you. Many groups decide to pool tip money together and give it to their instructor along with a thank you card at the awards banquet.

What happens if I need to leave camp because of an emergency?

In case an emergency, injury, or illness causes you to leave camp early, notify your instructor immediately. Give your lift ticket (if you have one) to your instructor and contact us to go over next steps.

Can someone give me a ride to the mountain?

Most likely! Many participants are happy to carpool from Southern California to Mammoth. If you think you will need a ride, please indicate it on your registration form. We will email all participants regarding carpooling options around a month prior to camp.

Can I fly to Mammoth?

Yes, there are now flights up to the Mammoth/Yosemite and Bishop airports, with transportation provided to the Mammoth Mountain Inn from the airport. Click here for more details.
