The 2027 mountain escape
Big mountain.
Bigger memories.
Fresh tracks. Same crew. A long weekend of skiing, snowboarding, and time together in the mountains.
Our fourth annual Mammoth trip carries on a tradition that began in 2024: mountain days, a welcoming crew, and as much fun after the lifts as on them.
What keeps us coming back
The mountain is only half the story.
A home base for the crew
Previous years centered on a large crew condo: homemade breakfasts, shared dinners, and a place to swap stories after the mountain.
Boots off. Games out.
Movies, card games, and crafts have kept the kids together long after the ski day. The off-snow moments are part of the tradition.
The shape of the trip
Four days. Plenty to look forward to.
A preview inspired by previous trips. This is the weekend rhythm; 2027 lessons, meals, and meeting times are still being arranged.

A few good
questions.
What are this year’s dates?
Thursday, January 28 through Sunday, January 31, 2027. The January 28 arrival date reflects the corrected club calendar.
Is Mammoth included in annual dues?
Mammoth is an optional, separately priced trip. The 2027 package, what it includes, and payment instructions are still being finalized.
Are lodging and registration ready?
Not yet. We’ll add confirmed lodging, package details, and this year’s signup here. Previous years’ forms and prices do not apply to the 2027 trip.
Do we need lift tickets, rentals, or lessons?
Plan around your family’s experience and equipment needs. The final package will clarify what is included and what families arrange separately before anyone needs to book.
Make room for it
See you on the mountain.
