Four-Season Favorite: Outbound Mammoth
Looking for that perfect stay no matter the season? Outbound Mammoth nails the balance between rugged mountain vibes and clean, contemporary design.
Located just minutes from The Village and Mammoth Mountain, this reimagined resort blends cozy lodge comfort with smart amenities—like a year-round heated pool, sauna, hot tub, and arcade (yes, a legit one with vintage games). Rooms range from stylish studios to spacious cabins and villas that sleep the whole crew, making it ideal for couples, families, or groups traveling together.
Pet-friendly perks (including an on-site dog park) and remote work-ready features like a high-speed Wi-Fi lounge make it an excellent home base whether you’re here to board, skim hike, bike, or just post up and soak up good mountain town energy.
Don’t sleep on the food, either—Bar Sierra dishes out modern comfort classics and curated cocktails, classic arcade games, and live music, while the Outbound food truck, Café Crêpe, serves up killer the kind of post-adventure eats.
Outbound is our home base and it should be yours too.

No matter your season—or your budget—Mammoth delivers. Just remember: book early, hydrate often, and always leave room in your bag for a second pair of socks.
