Talvi ja Kesä Retreat

Mammoth has been a home away from home for me and my family for many years. It all started when I lived in Lee Vining as a child and learned to ski and race at June Mountain. I was fortunate to return to the area and purchase this home where I taught my kids to ski. The drive from Los Angeles to Mammoth never gets old. For years I drove by one item on my bucket list - Mount Whitney. Finally checked that item off with cousins when we won a Whitney day-pass lottery. 11-miles from 8000' to 14,505 means you're only halfway through the hike. The 11-mile return hike felt an eternity and at the end, I said I'd never do that again. Just to make sure, I did it two more times a couple years later and I am now convinced I'll never do that again. Now I enjoy stopping in Lone Pine to take in the spectacular view of Whitney reflecting on those journeys and the view from the highest peak in the U.S., excluding Alaska. I open my home for you to create your own memories and hope you enjoy my home and the area as much as I do.

The location of my home was not a consideration when I began my search. I wanted a 'ski in/ski out' property but was not really happy with the selection of available homes. When the agent convinced me to look at this property, I fell in love with it. I have since discovered the shuttle bus stop just across the street from my complex up to Eagle Lodge is a great place to start skiing or catch a non-crowded ski/snowboard lesson. I can hop right on Eagle Express (Chair 15) and head over to Canyon Lodge or catch Cloud 9 Express (Chair 9) to head to McCoy Station. Another great feature is everything I need is within walking distance - movie theater, grocery store, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. Around the corner in front of Carl's Jr. is another free shuttle bus stop that makes a loop up to the Village Lodge with stops along the way. I could not have been any happier with this location.

Location, location, location! Regardless of your interest, my home is centrally located to everything year-round. The interior is nicely decorated and very clean with all three bathrooms completely remodeled along with a renovated and modern kitchen. The mudroom off the front door is a bonus area to hold all of your winter and summer gear before you enter the condo. This add-on allows for an extra-large deck off the living room to BBQ and hang out on.
