There’s a reason why Mammoth Mountain is home to shredders such as Chris Benchetler, Bernie Rosow, and Kimmy Fasani.

From awesome parks to great chutes and steeps, Mammoth has some of the best ski terrain in the Sierra. Whether riding Philippe’s or sending it down Wipeout Chutes, Mammoth Mountain here are 5 go-to’s for those who prefer the “Steep and Deep.”
Climax
The go-to bowl off the top of the Panorama Gondola, Climax is a typical first run on a bluebird powder day. It offers a consistently steep pitch that allows for some of the best bowl skiing in California.
Sanctuary
After booking it down Climax, head straight for the High-Five Express. From the top, skiers and riders can access Sanctuary, a beautiful powder pitch that isn’t as wind affected as the summit runs.
Philippe’s
Philippe’s is one of the most prominent and dramatic looking couloirs inbounds @Mammoth. The chute boasts vertical walls that keep the snow chalky and smooth, giving the chute a backcountry-esque vibe.
Wipeout Chutes
From the terminus of Chair 23, Wipeout Chutes spill into the valley below and offers unbelievably consistent skiing thanks to its high elevation and north-facing orientation.
Avalanche Chutes
Accessed easily from the top of Chair 22, Avalanche Chutes offers three distinct variations. Each chute is special and all offer phenomenal fall line skiing into the treed valley below.
