We offer the classic resort interconnect tour between Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain, with special focus on making quality downhill runs along the way. A great 2-day, 13 mile trip that we can schedule monthly from January through April.

This is the perfect 2-day adventure tour for capable skiers and splitboarders interested in an introduction to multi-day backcountry touring or as a good short tour for those with just the weekend to get out there. Minimum of 2 to run on these dates with these prices. Maximum guiding ratio of 4:1. It also makes an excellent one day light and fast traverse for experienced and very fit backcountry tourers.

A high class local Eastside backcountry favorite!

Mammoth to June is a classic tour between our two Eastside ski resorts, Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain. We arrange it as a 2-day ultralight tour to allow plenty of time to milk the quality descents along the way. Other guide services like to traverse the ridge or head up the San Joaquin to the west. These variations might be scenic but the downhill skiing and riding is marginal. Our route drops in as often as conditions dictate to the north and east, where all the powder stashes and sweet terrain is found. We camp in the scenic and wild upper Deadman Creek drainage and finish with a summit of San Joaquin Mountain and ultimately a descent of more than 4000 feet to the June Lake area and the comforts of the Double Eagle Resort & Spa.

This tour makes a perfect introduction to multi-day backcountry adventure and is ideal for people that only have the weekend to get out there. Ask us about arranging this guided tour on a custom private basis as an awesome 1 day blast, or later in the spring, it can be orchestrated to chase corn snow by reversing the direction from June Mountain to Mammoth Mountain.
