Mountain
How big it is and what the skiing is like, each figure with its U.S. rank.
Lifts: the count the resort advertises; resorts differ on whether surface lifts and carpets are in it.

Trail map

Sign in to tick runs off here and in the list; the ones you’ve skied clear from a haze over the rest.
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 1,000 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs (its own list is under Runs). The resort's glades and bowls are drawn as areas: OpenStreetMap's own where it maps one, otherwise drawn by north.ski around OpenStreetMap's line, up to 60 m each side and halfway to the next run or lift, so their edges are approximate.

Runs
Every run Mammoth Mountain lists, to tick off as you ski them; the trail map above names them and clears the ones you've skied.
169 runs · 6 glades · 11 parks
The resort’s own list, its trail map leading: every section it lists counts, traverses and roads too; carpets, learning areas, race courses and nordic tracks are left out, and parks are a list of their own.

Lines, lengths and verticals where a run is drawn: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL, via OpenSkiMap (Sep 28, 2026); measured by north.ski from the mapped line, not the resort’s figures. On the map, glades and bowls are areas: OpenStreetMap’s own where it maps one, else drawn by north.ski around its line, edges approximate.
