GET YOUR
SKI BUM HERE.

Need something in Mammoth? There’s a Ski Bum who can handle it.

Coffee. Groceries. Snow. Condo help. Forgotten gear. A hand getting settled in. And all the other little shit you don’t want to deal with.

THE PERSON
IS THE APP.

“I’ve got a guy in Mammoth.”
Everybody needs a guy in Mammoth. Find yours.

We built technology to help you stop dealing with technology.

Your Ski Bum isn’t an anonymous delivery driver.

They’re the server you met last night. The ski instructor. The bartender. The photographer. The person behind the counter at the ski shop. The local who knows where to get something at 10:30 at night.

You start with a job. You leave knowing somebody in Mammoth.
How it will work

Four steps. Then it’s just texting.

  1. NEED SOMETHING

    Tell your Ski Bum what you need.

  2. MEET YOUR BUM

    A local MSB handles it.

  3. KEEP YOUR BUM

    Had a great experience? They’re now one of your Ski Bums.

  4. JUST TEXT THEM

    Coffee tomorrow? Firewood? Grocery run? Quick ski wax?

The technology handles the transaction. The relationship handles everything else.
What Ski Bums can help with

Stuff. Mostly little stuff.

Not a menu. Just the kinds of things that come up when you’re at 8,000 feet and forgot the coffee.

SNOW RESCUE

Dig-outs, entrances, simple snow help.

CONDO HELP

Cleaning, trash, fireplace cleanup, unloading, little jobs.

ERRANDS & ESSENTIALS

Groceries, forgotten items, supplies.

MORNING

Local coffee, breakfast essentials and first-chair prep.

NIGHT OWL

Late-night convenience when everybody else has gone home.

FIRST CHAIR

Forgotten gloves, goggles, socks, warmers and basic ski essentials.

SIMPLE SKI CARE

Approved MSBs may offer basic waxing and light edge touch-ups.*

WHATEVER

Got some little shit you need done? Ask a Ski Bum.

* Some limits apply. See service limits.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE BUMS.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKI BUM.

We’re not trying to raise millions to build another fucking app.

We’re raising enough to build the minimum technology needed to do something decidedly low-tech: connect people with people.

Mammoth visitors meet the people who make Mammoth Mammoth.

The Mammoth Principles

House rules.

Four of them. We’d post more, but nobody reads the fifth one.

SUPPORT THE BUMS.

The people who work here are part of what makes this town special.

SUPPORT LOCAL.

Whenever we reasonably can, Mammoth dollars stay in Mammoth. Local coffee, local shops, local restaurants, local people.

PROTECT THE PLAYGROUND.

The mountain isn’t just where we make money. It’s where we ski, ride, work, live and play.

Respect the snow. Respect wildlife. Respect the water and land. Pick up your shit. Waste less. Take care of the place that takes care of us.

DON’T BE A DOUCHEBAG.

Money doesn’t buy standing in this community.

Treat people well. Tip your Ski Bum. Respect the mountain. Learn the culture.

KEEP MAMMOTH MAMMOTH.
