Big bear mountain , mammoth and mt high?

If you want to just go to the snow Mammoth Is your best bet. It is divided into 3 lodges with the town nearest to canyon lodge. I go there about 5 times each snow board season and one week trip each year. There is a medium size town there and many shops and cafes. there is an EXTREMELY easy and small bunny slope at Canyon lodge if you do decide to ski/snowboard once. There are also cross country skiing, snowcat tours, hot springs, maybe some fishing depending on the weather and many small sleddins around. Mammoth will probably be the best place to go with big bear being very ski/snowboard oriented and mountian high very small.
