I want to go to Mammoth mountain next year. Is it better for winter break (End of December) or Spring break (End of March or Beginning of April). And what is the closest airport that major airlines fly into? Also, is it good for non-park skiing?

Go in the Spring. The Sierras are known for late-season storms.

The non-park skiing is great. Lots of steeps, cliffs, and chutes.

I'm guessing that you'll have to fly into Bishop, but I'm sure their webpage has that kind of information.
