{ DESTINATIONS / June Mountain, CA }

 

june_mountain

June Mountain is arguably one of the best group destination in CA.  It’s a small mountain that packs a big punch.  7 lifts, with tons of options: a great park (voted top 10 parks by TransWorld Snowboarding), snow that gives you fresh track options for days, non-existent lift lines, and main lodge is ideal to regroup while you take in the vast snowy view of June Lake and the valley.

Two comments we hear most: “I never wait in a lift line” and “Wow, that’s a great price”.

Groups love June Mountain.  You’ll see your group all day long and still be riding some of the best snow in California, on beginner slopes, a world class terrain park, or carving through the myriad of tree runs.  Start your day riding up chair 1 to Main Lodge.  From there you have all the options in the world: The Face’s challenging terrain, to terrain park, or a quick lesson at June Mountain’s top-notch ski/board school to brush up before heading out on your own.

June Mountain prices don’t disappoint : Two day tickets: Teens=$77 / Adults=$102.
