Since im contemplating spending my nextg winter in Mammoth i was wondering how long the drive from Mammoth to Squaw is because it could be sick to ski some different terrain for a couple of days during the winter... I Couldnt really find a good answer anywhere else on the web so it would be cool if you guys could help me out.

Also check out June.  I hear on pow days when Mammoth would be packed, you can find fresh at June all day.  The park is pretty sick at June too.

june is sick that is actually where i ride while in mammoth.  If you buy it at the beginning of the season college passes are only $125 and all you need is a current class print out which is really easy to fake.

So you can pretend to be a collegestudent and get 125$ passes, but how long do they last... a week?

depending on what kind of skiing you like, squaw is on the north part of tahoe but every other resort is south and pretty much between there and mammoth. so you would be at the most 3.5 hours away from all the tahoe resorts (northstar, alpine, boreal, heavenly, sierra, kirkwood and more...) as far as passes just buy a student one most resorts dont ever check except squaw.

just ask around to see if the resort actually checks if you are a student. at boreal and northstar i was never checked or had to show proof i was a student. i simply just clicked student pass on the internet site then went and got it.
