If you live in your van and want to try out your build for a winter in Mammoth Lakes Ca, I have a position for you. Ski season begins in November, and ends in April. Entry level position @ $20/hr, flexible work schedule and an overall fun job. Search Mammoth Mountain jobs, and find Lift Operations. (sorry this site will not let me post a link) Feel free to apply if you 1. live in your van/car 2.do not mind harsh winter conditions 3. are interested in fun full time work.
Hey! Does Mammoth let employees park in the lots for free?/ Have a designated place that employees may park their rig? I’m a snowmaker and cat driver (used to be lift ops!) and am definitely interested in trying out Mammoth!
Hello! I apologize for the late response. So I have been working with our HR department on providing resources for the employees we have living in our vehicles. So far I’ve been able to acquire a parking lot for particularly nasty storm systems in previous winters. However, there is a fair amount of BLM land around as well as forest service land to which many of our employees have been able to rotate sites through. I also have lived in my vehicle through the winter season and although it is not easy living, it is possible and kinda fun! Either way, feel free to apply, and I will be happy to look over your application and speak with you about an employment opportunity.
Hey Adam! Just ran across this post. I’ll be working a different position on the mountain this winter, but am interested in finding out more about any resources available for employees living in their vehicles, as I’ll be in my van. I worked at Mammoth last winter as well (and was in my van), so I’m familiar with several of the typical spots. But any additional resources would of course be a huge help. That’s exciting about the parking lot you acquired, as it’s always a concern finding somewhere safe to park when it’s going to dump. Anyway, would love to get in touch with you (or someone in HR) for more info. Let me know, thanks!
@mikew curious if you spent a winter at mammoth? I’m thinking about doing this this season as I got offered a job as an instructor. Curious if you found any best spots last season and how your experience was?
Hey, yeah I did! Mammoth is great. I didn’t have any issues living in the van. Just the standard public land spots work well. It does get tricky when there’s a big storm. Can always head down to Bishop. And you’ll certainly meet other employees living in rigs and exchange some camping beta 
That’s awesome that you did a season otu there in the van! How were the public land spots when it came to storms though? I’m a little nervous about the snow out there as I’ve never done a winter season in my rig. I’m also curious what you did for a solid shower while out there as I typically use planet fitness these days. Sorry to throw so much at ya, just unsure if I want to accept this job or not yet in terms of how easy I think van life would be out there.
Ya you definitely want to keep an eye on the forecast, the big storms can be tricky. But overall Mammoth isn’t too hard for winter vanlife. For showers either the RV park or join Snowcreek
