Mammoth Mountain is our preferred Mountain

We live in LA so Mammoth Mountain is relatively close to us. Even though it takes us 4-1/2 hours to get there we will gladly drive to Mammoth for a quick weekend trip rather than go to Big Bear, which is only 2 hours away from us. Not only is the mountain so much larger, with much longer runs. But the drive home on Sunday is easy. Driving back from Big Bear on a Sunday can take as long or longer than the drive back from Mammoth takes. I would rather head home on Monday than deal with that headache to be honest. If you love the mountains like I do you will enjoy yourself no matter which mountain you decide to go too. But if you need steep runs then Mammoth is the better option of the two.
