If they could get rid of the TSA somehow, it might make it worth it (like Era does with their short flights out of ANC).

I'm sure Mammoth Mountain is contractually subsidizing these flights again this year (they did this last year but due to their popularity they didn't need to fork out any cash to AS to cover a shortfall).

The attempted Aspenization of the town/resort continues...

Don't forget the cost of checking skis and a bag. Although, I flew DL last year to SLC and they didn't charge for my skis on the way out but they dinged me on the way back. I'm just hoping for a good snow year.
