Mammoth Mountain, Mammoth Lakes, California
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area in Mammoth Lakes, CA was
developed by one of the leading pioneers of the American ski industry,
Mr. Dave McCoy and his wife Roma. Under Dave’s guidance, Mammoth
grew to be the largest, most-frequented ski area in the United States.
In 1996 it was time to look at the future for the next generation and
Ecosign was hired to prepare a new Master Plan for Mammoth Mountain to
set down Dave’s vision for future generations.
The Challenge
At the time, Mammoth was one of North America’s largest
ski areas with a two-section bi-cable gondola and 36 fix grip chairlifts.
The challenge at Mammoth was how to completely renovate and update the
facilities at Mammoth applying new lift, snowmaking and grooming technologies.
The resulting plans called for a substantial reduction in the overall
number of lifts to achieve operating efficiencies, while at the same
time improving the guests’ comfort, safety and experience and
adding capacity. The new Ecosign Master Plan, completed in 1997, was
implemented by new the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rusty Gregory in
short order with the installation of seven new detachable-grip chairlifts,
a new two-section, 8-passenger gondola from the Main Lodge to Mid Chalet
and to the Summit and a new 15 passenger gondola from the new North Village
to the Canyon Lodge. Skier Services were not overlooked and the Canyon
and Mid-Chalet underwent extensive renovations to provide first-rate
services for skiers and snowboarders. In Bound Terrain Park was also
implemented.
Ecosign gratefully acknowledges the tremendous amount of
beneficial input we received from Rusty Gregory’s top managers
including Pam Murphy, Bill Cockroft, Dennis Agee, Heimo Latinig and Clifford
Mann.
