WHY AMERICA LOVES JUNIPER SPRINGS RESORT

Juniper Springs Resort is part of the Mammoth Lodging Collection, distinctive properties that make up the largest collection of year-round accommodations available in Mammoth Lakes, California.

Mammoth Mountain also has one of the longest ski seasons in North America, which averages from November to June. The resort occasionally enjoys a longer season, as in 2005, when it opened in October and did not close until the 4th of July. The 1994 – 1995 season was Mammoth Mountain's longest, over ten months, with the resort operating from 8 October until 13 August.

Mammoth's premier mountain-side condominium hotel has one goal in mind: to bring comfort and simplicity to your mountain experience.  

This romantic and family-friendly escape is like the mountain home you've always dreamed of, quietly removed from town by just one traffic light and never too far from dining and nightlife. This mountain lodge is designed as the modern-day family base camp with comprehensive hospitality services focused on your comfort. That means a personal driver, bell service, a concierge to help you plan your stay and a front desk staffed 24 hours a day to ensure you have the best stay possible.

Mammoth Mountain is located in California's Eastern Sierra approximately 100 mi (160 km) south of the Nevada state line and 50 minutes from the Eastern Gate of Yosemite National park. While the ski area is located in Northern California, it is mainly frequented by skiers and snowboarders from Southern California. Although it is a five-hour drive from Los Angeles, it is much closer for Southland skiers and riders than the Lake Tahoe area resorts, which are more accessible to the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Mammoth Mountain is a more popular destination than Southern California resorts because of these areas' heavy reliance on snowmaking, lighter precipitation, and their notably shorter seasons. 

Although Mammoth is physically closer to San Francisco and central valley cities than Los Angeles, mountain passes along the Sierra crest are closed after the first major snowfall, and this lack of a trans-Sierra travel route creates an unusually long drive to Mammoth from the Bay Area and most of Northern California. For example: during the summer, the distance from Fresno to Mammoth Lakes is 189 mi (304 km), while the same excursion in winter involves 366 miles of driving.
