Terrain Parks, Family Friendly skiing and No Crowds....that's is June Mountain. Every year June develops more terrain for snowboarders, and better operations for skiers making it a good mixed use mountain. June is low key and rarely crowded, and your Mammoth ticket and season pass are good at both. June is about 35 minutes north of Mammoth so you can ski and ride at both on the same day.
