Talk:Mammoth Mountain Ski Area

Untitled

This sentence doesn't seem too accurate - "The ski area, commonly called simply Mammoth, has the best terrain park according to Transworld Snowboarding, and is consistently ranked in the top ten ski resorts by Ski Magazine.[citation needed]" - neither the 07/08 nor the 08/09 Ski Magazine Top 30 ski resorts list had Mammoth in the Top 10.

We should probably add some more pictures. Such as a Mammoth Logo.

Crashing into ski tower

The story about "David Hubal" crashing into a ski tower at Mammoth is an unconfirmed urban legend, not backed up from a reliable source (see [1]) —hike395 (talk) 05:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Selling of Mammoth

In January 1996, Intrawest Corporation and Mammoth Mountain Ski area announced that Intrawest Corporation had purchased 33% of Mammoth and June Mountain ski operations, as well as all of the developable real estate owned by Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. In 1998, Intrawest increased their partnership interest to 58%. The development of three new village areas: The Village at Mammoth, Sierra Star, and Juniper Springs, has brought new developments to the resort. At The Village at Mammoth guests will find The Mountain Center and can access Canyon Lodge via the Village Gondola. Over the last several years, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area has upgraded Canyon Lodge, the McCoy Station at the mid-chalet, installed the new Panorama Gondola at the Main Lodge, the Mill Café at the base of Stump Alley Express and much more.

December 21, 2005, Dave Mc Coy, founder and controlling shareholder of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area announced that Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital had completed the purchase of the majority interest in Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for $365 million. Starwood Capital, which is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, has been an innovative leader in real estate investment since its inception in 1991. Over the next few years, millions of dollars will continue to be spent in the resort.

Not sure how you want to add that. -Bowlnmike —Preceding undated comment added 06:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC).

History Section deficiency

IMHO the history section should provide a chronology of development after 1955 chairlift installation. I remember a long rope tow servicing Broadway in 1956. (There were other rope tows). I have a poor photograph showing a little bit of Poma lift in 1962. I don't have the resources to research this. The current history concentrates on accidents and investment transactions (which deserve to be documented there) but is very weak on the resort area itself. Ideally the construction date for every lift/gondola would be included. Also construction date for Mammoth Mountain Inn seems ill documented. I suspect 1960 but cannot provide reference.Rdmoore6 (talk) 16:21, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

interpretive center

Hi, just one small error. The interpretive center doesn't have telescopes. It has fixed viewing tubes to help locate specified geographic features. There's no optics in the viewing tubes. Source: I work there. 47.209.19.121 (talk) 14:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
