With an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, Mammoth Mountain provides a great setting for activities ranging from skiing to snowboarding to hiking. With 360-degree views of over 600 km (370 mi) of high-altitude peaks, the mountain boasts the highest summit of any California resort. Choose from a number of different runs that cater to all snowboarding levels. You can sign up for classes at the ski and snowboarding school at the resort, where they also rent equipment. Take the gondola to the 3,300 m (11,000 ft) summit, where you'll discover eateries and lodging amenities. Hikers should be cautious of mountain bikers on the descent.

  Unless you live in LA, go to Utah, Colorado, Jackson Hole or Big Sky. Great terrain, huge, but windiest area you will ever see. Lifts always closing due to wind or visibility, trapping you on one side or other of the mountain. You might not ever get to the top. No night life, if that's important to you. Hard to get to, half of flights into Mammoth Lakes get cancelled.
