We spent a weekend here with our 3 golden retrievers and it was everything we ever wanted. Our oldest dog LOVES snow, but since we live in SoCal, we don't see a lot of snow. We recently received news that his cancer had returned, and at his age (13 1/2) there is nothing more we can do but spoil him. So we made our first trip to Mammoth Mountain. Debbie was so accommodating for us. The dogs rode in the snowcat to our chalet (and again when we checked out). There was so much snow we had to walk DOWN steps cut into the snow to get to the deck. It was a beautiful day when we arrived, and it snowed the second night, making for a magical morning before we had to leave. The chalet had everything we needed for the 2 of us and the dogs. There were walking trails just outside the cabin with lots and lots of snow for the dogs to roll in, dig in, and chase each other around. The office has plenty of sleds to choose from if you want to go sliding. It was the perfect weekend. Plenty of good restaurants in town for dinner. Debbie recommended the gondola ride to the top of the mountain ($29pp) which we enjoyed (even though it was clouded over at the top and we couldn't see a thing). We watched the Kentucky Derby on the TV in our chalet. The free wi-fi worked great. We used the stove and the microwave and refrigerator with no complaints. Plenty of dishes and pots and pans. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. The king size bed downstairs was fine. The parking lot isn't too far away from the chalet to walk too, although the elevation had us huffing and puffing walking back to the chalet up the short hill (being out of shape didn't help, either). If we ever return to Mammoth, we will definitely be staying at the chalets again.

Thank you for a great weekend and great memories.
