Transportation

If you are flying to the event, direct air service to the Mammoth Yosemite Airport lands you 10 minutes from the town of Mammoth Lakes and the Mammoth Mountain ski area. Mammoth is served by United Airlines, with year-round connections from Los Angeles and daily flights starting in December 2018 from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Denver. Winter schedules and season connections will be announced fall 2018 by the airlines.

Note: Due to its small size and high altitude, be aware that flights to Mammoth Yosemite Airport flights can be subject to delay or closures during winter storm conditions.

Alternative flight arrangements would be to arrive at a nearby major city and rent a car for local transportation. Reno/Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is the closest major airport and is a relatively easy 3-hour drive down US 395, through a very scenic area of Lake Tahoe, Mono Lake, and the eastern Sierra Nevada. Other arrival destinations to consider include Las Vegas (5-6 hours), Los Angeles (6 hours), and San Francisco or Oakland in the Bay Area (5-6 hours).

Eastern Sierra Transit provides the only scheduled shuttle service between Reno airport and Mammoth Lakes. Service is limited (1 trip per day, 4 weekdays only; drop-off is at the edge of Mammoth Lakes and not directly at lodging facilities; baggage capacity is unknown). Visit their web site for more information: https://www.estransit.com

Additional Lodging Information

There are a wide variety of additional lodging options in the town of Mammoth Lakes, which is located on the eastern edge of Mammoth Mountain about 4 miles from the Main Lodge base area. There is frequent free shuttle service within the town of Mammoth Lakes as well as between town and all major access portals of the ski area. That said, if you are staying in town auto transportation is recommended in order to reach the race venues more easily.
