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.
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.

Day by day
- Day 1: Meet your guide in the early morning at Mammoth Mountain. Check equipment, and final packing, then from Main Lodge we skin up the closed road to Minaret Vista. From there the tour follows the San Joaquin Ridge north with spectacular views of the Minarets and the Ritter Range, as well as the headwaters of the Owens River to the east. Just before Deadman Pass drop in steeply to the northeast for a 1000' powder run. From there climb back to the ridge so we can drop in to another 1000' run and find camp in upper Deadman Creek.
- Day 2: Pass east of the imposing Two Teats on the way to the summit of San Joaquin Mountain. Descend right from the summit and drop down one of several options like Positive 1, the Hourglass, or the Negatives to Upper Yost Meadow. From there the plan is to descend gently via Yost Creek and then descend via the 4 Seasons run or possibly Devil's Slide to finish at the Double Eagle Resort. Celebrate the end of a fantastic traverse! Either arrange to spend the night in the June Lake area or shuttle back with us to Mammoth.
