<!--paging_filter--><!--paging_filter-->Room service—particularly with choices like mac and cheese made with tallegio and truffles—is a new concept in Mammoth. And while 32-inch flatscreen TVs, fireplaces and plush robes make in-room dining at this 230-suite condo hotel particularly appealing, guests find it easy to venture out. The Village at Mammoth and a gondola to the slopes stand some 75 steps downhill from the Westin’s ski valet. Even so, the hotel’s free shuttle
ferries guests on the 60-second drive. Après-ski, families splash in the heated pool amid big views before dropping the children at the free Kid’s Club while adults repair to the postmodern environs of Whitebark for epicurean eats. $299–$1,079; 760-934-0400; westin.com
