Mammoth has lived up to its name with a mammoth season finally ending today – July 28 in the US. The season was 260 days long with 18.2 metres of snow and had everything from epic pow days, wild weather, some massive dumps and then a long spring into a hot summer.

Like other resorts in California’s Sierras February was a huge month for snow with a monthly total of 5.7 metres, the first storm for the month dropping 2.3 metres in a four-day period from Feb 2-5. That was backed up a few days later by a 10-day total of 3.09 metres from Feb 9-18.

During that period there was some incredible powder skiing and the snow falls continued into March with another monthly total of 1.9 metres. That set up a great spring and while temps over the month have been hot, accelerating the snow melt, the summer skiing and snowboarding has been fun.

It is now mountain bike season on Mammoth, but they won’t have to wait long until the lifts are spinning again for skiing and snowboarding with the 2019/20 season scheduled to open on November 9, just 100 days away.

Lizzie was so helpful, gave us some options and advice to help us pinpoint where we wanted to go. And once we had booked provided some really helpful travel advice and answering questions we had. Easy to deal with, everything was smooth and we had a great time.

Shelly Drewitz

Calum was awesome at helping us every step of the way with our trip. We got a great deal on the accommodation and ski lift, and we will definitely come back to Mountainwatch next time based on his excellent service.

I booked my Japan ski holiday through Mountainwatch. Very professional and when we arrived in Japan all was laid out for us. The accommodation was even nicer than expected. KIrsty was very good to work with and made things very easy!!!! will book again next season.

Thanks Kirsty, once again your arrangements for us in Japan worked very well. We’ll have no hesitation about touching base with you before we make another booking….. not sure if we’ll be organised by June, but we’ll see. Have a great season yourself and keep up the good work at MountainWatch. Regards Jan and Tom

Our trip to Hakuba and Tokyo was so smooth and easy thanks to the help of Justine. Hotel was great and in a perfect location and it was very smooth having all our extras like lessons and rentals booked and sorted before we arrived. Would 100% book through Mountainwatch Travel again!

This is the second year that Kristy has organized travel arrangements for a skiing holiday to Furano in Japan, for us. It is the second time that those arrangements have been fulfilled seamlessly. No hassles, as planned and on time. Perfect, and will use Mountainwatchj Travel again. John Durham

We booked through Anna O’Malley for our stay in Nozawa onsen Village in Japan. Seamless service, prompt, and pricing reasonable. The Shimataya View Hotel, was a lovely stay. Room size was large, great views, and Amazing service from Staff. Momoi and Eloisa couldn’t help enough- from dinner reservations to organising luggage to Tokyo. Property is older, though clean, well maintained. 10 min walk to slopes, 5 min walk to village centre. I recommend Mountain Watch, and this property. Photos are the view from our room.
