As some of you may already have seen on the Travel & Lodging page, special discounted rates are available to 2010 festival attendees. These special rates are available at two Mammoth Mountain Ski Area properties: The Village Lodge, and Mammoth Mountain Inn.

Both properties offer excellent accomodations, however we recommend The Village Lodge as it is where registration is located, and it is closer to the screenings, as well as downtown Mammoth Lakes. Check out the Travel & Lodging page for more details and links.
