Horizon offering flights to Mammoth from LA

By Lena Katz

Heads up, ski bunnies: Mammoth Mountain is on the phone, and would like all y’all to know that it’ll have commuter flight service from LA to the Mammoth/Yosemite Airport throughout snow season. The carrier is Horizon, and the flight runs daily from December 18, 2008, through April 12, 2009. This’ll bring Mammoth/LA travel time from 6 hours down to just over 1 hour (ski-checking hassle time not included).

While I’m on the Mammoth topic (I rarely am, so might as well make the most of it), a recent news release tells me their new restaurant/food partner is the Patina Group, Joachim Splichal‘s fanchy-shmance LA-based gourmet outfit. This brings the foodie ante way up from corn dogs and cocoa, though we’re not expecting Splichal to wheel out a cheese cart or anything.
