Why is Mammoth Mountain famous? Mammoth is the highest ski resort in California and is notable for the unusually large amount of snowfall it receives compared to other Eastern Sierra peaks—about 400 (1,000 cm) annually and about 300 out of 365 days of sunshine—due to its location in a low gap in the Sierra crest.
