Airline service to Mammoth?
I have to be in LA late April and was thinking of a quick trip up to Mammoth
for a day or so of spring boarding. I can't find any scheduled air service direct into Mammoth. Anyone know if there are any smaller/charter service into Mammoth? Costs?? Thanks |

There is no currently scheduled regular air service into Mammoth.
You could charter your own plane and have someone fly you, but it would cost you in the $1000 range for th flight. Probably not cost effective. aiki "tg" wrote in message ...

Airline service to Mammoth?
It absolutely will NOT start by then.
There is much legal wrangling still going on with many local residents opposed to the airport expansion. There is also the matter of an EPA environmental impact study (another one, I've been told) that will need to be paid for and accomplished, etc. There are many phases of the Intrawest renovation of Mammoth Mountain that hinge on the airport being opened to scheduled service. Interested parties are waiting to see how it's going to shake out. aiki "John Davison" wrote in message om... "tg" wrote in message ...

Interested parties are waiting to see how it's going to shake out. aiki I don't see how they will make air service profitable. Don't get me wrong, Mammoth is my "home" mountain. But if I am going to fork over money to fly someplace, I would not go to Mammoth. It's an awesome place to ride, but beyond that it's lacking (i.e. nightlife). Considering the other options like Whistler, Vail and Tahoe, Mammoth can't compete. If I were Intrawest I would not try to turn Mammoth into another Whistler. Instead I would go after the southwest market. Instead of offering jet service from New York, they should offer turbo prop service from places like San Diego, LA, Orange County, San Jose, San Fran., Las Vegas, etc. -- John |
