2010: a Mammoth ski year

Yosemite’s Mammoth Mountain is much easier to get to now, thanks to new flights from Alaska and Horizon Airlines.

Direct flights daily to Mammoth Lakes are now offered from Los Angeles, Portland, Reno/Tahoe, San Jose, and Seattle. Flights will run until April 11.

An 11,000-foot summit, 3,500 skiable acres, 400 inches of snow, and 300 days of sunshine per year.

That sounds MAMMOTH.

There’s no place like Portland

Apparently there is this magical place called “Portland” that is consistently rated a “top city” for a variety of wonderful reasons (Greenest, Best Big City, and, most recently, Very Pedestrian Friendly).

Sounds to me like a domestic traveler’s Oz.

Check it out on a long weekend, perhaps on this Marriott deal: two nights gets you a third night free at the Marriott Downtown Waterfront. Until January 3.
