Canyon Lodge is one of four Mammoth Mountain Ski Area lodges and can be accessed in the wintertime by the free ski-area bus system or the Village Gondola. A few Mammoth Mountain Bike Park trails end at Canyon, and four chairlifts are operated during the winter for skiing. Access to all trails and lifts requires a ticket or pass. Canyon Lodge operates a cafeteria and bar, ticket office, rental shop and a ski and snowboard school. The lodge holds special events with live music and entertainment a few times each year. Canyon Lodge facilities are open only during the winter and spring ski season.
