01 / Find your place

Mountain access. Your kind of home.

Start with the way you want to spend your days, then compare the location and property details that make it work.

Ski access

Canyon Lodge area

Compare condos, townhomes and mountain homes around Canyon Boulevard and Lakeview Boulevard. Distinguish direct slope access from a walk or shuttle ride.

Resort condos

Juniper Springs & Eagle

Explore Juniper Springs Lodge, Sunstone and nearby Juniper-area residences. Compare building amenities, HOA costs and the seasonal Eagle access route.

Village convenience

The Village & North Village

For buyers who value dining, events and gondola access close together. Compare Village condominiums with nearby residences on their own access and amenity details.

Meadow & golf

Snowcreek & Creekhouse

Meadow-side condominiums and townhomes near golf, the athletic club and the Sherwin backdrop. Snowcreek VIII is a separate future development area.

Golf setting

Sierra Star area

Consider golf-oriented surroundings and access to town. Match each condo or home to its actual proximity to trails, the course and winter transportation.

Year-round living

Old Mammoth & town

Explore established streets and everyday access to dining, services and recreation. Property type and winter access vary from address to address.

Compare the property, then the lifestyle. Ask Crystal for current availability and help comparing HOA dues, snow removal, parking, insurance, seasonal lift access and rental rules for the specific address.

The property-search button opens Crystal’s main search website. This guide is not a live listing feed.

02 / On the mountain

Know your base.

Mammoth’s lodge areas offer different ways onto the mountain. Compare the lifts, nearby homes and transportation rather than treating every “near the slopes” address the same.

Mountain base

Main Lodge & Mammoth Mountain Inn

The classic mountain base for Broadway and the Panorama Gondola. Yodler Restaurant & Bar sits across from Main Lodge, beside the snowmobile-tour area.

Explore base lodges
Lift access

Canyon Lodge

A major ski-access hub linked to The Village by gondola. Explore nearby condo communities and townhomes, checking the actual path to the slopes for each property.

Explore Canyon
Resort & condos

Eagle Lodge & Juniper Springs

Juniper Springs Resort offers condo-style stays beside Eagle Lodge and seasonal ski-in/ski-out convenience. Eagle operations and snow cover determine slope access.

Explore Juniper Springs
Walkable village

The Village Lodge

Stay near restaurants, shops and events, with the Village Gondola connecting to Canyon Lodge. The Ski Back Trail provides a return when open.

Explore Village lodging
Lakes & Nordic

Tamarack Lodge & Lakes Basin

A different mountain rhythm around Twin Lakes, with cabin-style lodging and cross-country recreation. Explore the Lakes Basin for summer trails and fishing.

Explore mountain lodging
Mountain meeting spot

The Mill

A useful mountain meeting point around Stump Alley, with food, drinks and access to the ski area. Include it when comparing how a location fits your ski day.

Explore The Mill

Ski-in/ski-out is property-specific and seasonal. Confirm the exact access route, snow coverage and lift operations for the dates you plan to use the home.

03 / Village life

Coffee to après, on foot.

The Village brings dining, shops and events together, with the gondola connecting to Canyon Lodge.

The ride up. The ski back.

Take the Village Gondola to Canyon Lodge when operating. The Village Ski Back Trail offers a snow-dependent return to The Village; check trail status before relying on it.

Village Ski Back Trail

Village lodging is gondola-connected. It should not automatically be described as direct ski-in/ski-out from every unit.

Make Main Lodge your landmark: Yodler sits across from the lodge, and Mammoth’s guided Snowmobile Adventures operates nearby. Confirm the permitted route and parking before riding to the base area.

Before you choose

A few useful distinctions.

Match the home to how you actually plan to use it.

Is every condo near Canyon Lodge ski-in/ski-out?

No. Confirm the specific building, unit and route. Some are directly slopeside; others require a walk or shuttle.

Can I ski down to The Village?

The Village Ski Back Trail provides a return when it is open and snow coverage permits. Use the resort’s live trail status before planning your return.

Can I snowmobile from Mammoth into June Lake?

The documented long outing reaches June Lake Junction on US 395. This guide does not establish a legal, open snowmobile route from that junction into June Lake village.

Can I rent out any home for short stays?

Rental eligibility varies by location, zoning, permits and HOA rules. Verify the specific property with the town and the association before relying on rental use.

Does the guide show current homes for sale?

No. Ask Crystal for current availability and confirm the listing details. The guide describes areas and lifestyle access; it does not claim that a particular unit is on the market.
