About this property

Real Ski in - Ski Out High on the Mountain Great Views

A truly unique location on Mammoth Mountain ! Timber Ridge is the highest location in Mammoth, looking down over Canyon Lodge and the Owens Valley. Ski in and ski out (down) to Chair 8 and Canyon Lodge or to Chair 15 & 24 at Eagle Express where lift tickets are sold and miss the lines at Canyon Lodge. (In the summer these same runs become a world class mountain bike trail). The condo has gorgeous views of the Sherwin Range from the living room and master bedroom. The clubhouse directly across from the condo features 'his and hers' saunas, a large spa and a summertime swimming pool. This small complex is surrounded by the national forest, creating a woodsy, remote atmosphere. Nightlife is down the hill (approximately 2 miles) where there are many excellent restaurants and bars.

Remodeled 'down to the studs' two years ago, the kitchen and bathrooms feature custom cabinetry and stone accents as well as heated travertine floors throughout (except for bedrooms where there is new carpet). Sitting in the living room in front of a roaring fire, the view is of surrounding forest and the Owens Valley below. The kitchen with it's custom cabinetry, new appliances and extensive cookware make it easy to stay in and enjoy a meal at home. The master bedroom invites escape with a flat screen tv, gorgeous view of the Owens Valley from the 4 poster bed and a 3/4 bath featuring a heated floor, custom stone accents and a frameless shower enclosure.

The second bedroom has heated, carpeted floors, mirrored wardrobes and a comfortable extra large chair and ottoman. The double twin trundle bed can be attached to become a king bed. Two large windows make the room light and airy.

The garage is attached with stairway access so there is never a need to unearth your car after a snowstorm. The association owns a snowplow/loader which plows our driveways immediately in the event of a storm.

After a day on the mountain, ski home thru the woods (there are trail markers on Bluejay and Chickadee pointing the way to Timber Ridge). Come home to hot drinks, a crackling fire and beautiful sunset views. Go for a soak and a sauna at the clubhouse across the driveway. Make dinner at home or go to one of the terrific restauants just down the hill.

Area activities include superb cross country skiing (just down Lake Mary Road at the Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center), snowmobiling, dog sledding, sledding and back country snowshoeing. Hot springs soaking is popular year around. Summer fun includes golfing, hiking, fishing, backpacking, mountain biking and horseback riding. We are located directly on the world class mountain bike trail that the winter ski runs become in the summer. There are several outlet shops in town including Ralph Lauren and Bass for the less motivated.

As a result of the mountain being developed the last few years, there are more great restaurants and nightlife all over town and on the mountain. Most of the lifts are high speed and enclosed. There is gondola service to the top and to a mid-mountain lodge where skiers and non-skiers can enjoy excellent food at a beautiful restaurant as well as great service at the less formal cafe.

Our favorites restaurants are Nevados and Tamarack Lodge (I never get tired of walking through the enclosed entry lined to the rafters on either side by firewood.) Tamarack is authentic old style lodge with a huge fireplace,lots of deep sofas and hot drinks. They serve French food and have a good wine list. Nevados is very good California cuisine and equally good drinks. A fun, less expensive restaurant we eat at is Angel's, just down the road. The Stove on Old Mammoth Road is an institution that serves huge breakfasts. Our favorite after ski is the Yodler across from Main Lodge. No amount of will power has kept us from Schaat's Bakery, a mecca of wonderful bread, gorgeous pastries, mountain size sandwiches and soups. There is a Schaat's in Bishop and another on the main road to the condo.

Disappointed, Will Not Be Back
I really wanted to like this place as it is a great rate for ski in/out. Unfortunately, I think the price is lower because of multiple issues/problems with the unit. Specifically, when I arrived it was cold and the thermostat did not work. I texted the owner and she said there is no central heat in the living room and we had to either start a fire and/or use the portable heaters. Neither of these heats up the room very well or quickly so we were uncomfortable at times, particularly in the mornings. When I plugged in both portable heaters, the refrigerator shorted out. The owner insisted that the living room floors are heated, but they are not. The views from deck are great and you can walk to a trail leading to chair 15 but once your skis are on, you have to hike up a hill to get there (which is not a true ski in/out IMO). Also, it snowed several days and the paved road to the trail was icy and slippery. My daughter fell twice and we saw others slip too as well as two cars spin out. The on-site manager said that it happens a lot. The complex is older and the walls are thin. We could hear the upstairs occupants' footsteps and bed springs creak. Finally, the furniture looks and smells old and should be replaced along with the worn-out throw carpets and cracked living room tiles. I was drawn to this unit because the owner's description says it was "remodeled to the studs two years ago." It did not seem that way to me at all and I will not be back.

Nice place with beautiful views and close to slopes
We spent 5 days over Christmas. Owner was great with communication. Place very clean and nice. Beautiful views of the valley and just across the street is the club house with jacuzzi. To be able to ski in and out needs more snow than we had but small hike even with bad snow conditions you get there. Very well equipped kitchen. Some of the furniture is showing its age but nothing bad. Garage is small depending on what you are driving you have to leave the front out and door open (not just this unit they are all like that so you see other residents doing the same). Master bath is smaller than the guest one but the view from the bed makes up for it resting après skiing. Must be great in the summer too. Close to village do drive but far enough that is very quiet and you do feel ypu are in the woods.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Valine

Host profile image
My family is crazy about any sport that delivers maximum thrills. We scuba, kayak, kite surf, wind surf, sail and of course, snowboard and ski. We live in Southern California near the beach. There are three of us and lots of relatives, especially in ski season.

Why they chose this property

We found and bought our condo by accident. An old friend told us she was no longer able to endure the altitude and wanted to sell after thirty years (she was an original owner). We went to Mammoth and found that her condo was ON the ski runs and had a gorgeous view. At that time, Timber Ridge was relatively unknown to all but the locals. We were thrilled with the feeling of remoteness and being surrounded by the forest. My guys love skiing home for lunch and I like staying home drinking morning coffee looking at the great view. I love cross country skiing at Tamarack Ski Center which is right down Lake Mary Road
