Aspen, Vail, Jackson Hole ... Mammoth Lakes? The California mountain town may not have the exalted reputation of other ski meccas, but it’s just as popular among the jet set.
Celebrities from Tony Hawk to George Clooney, the Kardashians, and Will Ferrell are regulars; Kate Hudson, Nick and Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, and many other household names have been spotted visiting. Beyond its powdery slopes, Mammoth Lakes appeals probably because, at five hours by car, it’s just the right distance from Hollywood to offer both discretion and convenience.
