Calling kids of all ages!

Hi' I'm Patti O'Donnell. I have been teaching skiing at Mammoth Mountain since the 1988-89 season and I specialize in teaching children. I'm Level II certified in alpine as well as nordic downhill (telemark skiing).

I came to Mammoth in February of 1983 to spend winter with my brother, take a break from college, and ski as much as possible. Now, 15 years later, my family consists of Keith, my significant other, and our 2 dogs, Max and Buddy. We own a home here and could not imagine living anyplace else.

In SKIING Magazine's "Top 100 Ski Instructors" of 1996-97, I was chosen as Mammoth's top kid's instructor. In 1994 I was honored with an "Outstanding Service Award" from the Mammoth Mountain Ski School and named kid's Instructor of the year. I was the happy recipient of 2 free passes to Disneyland!

If you're a kid, of any age, and you like to have fun, come ski with me. Plan on improving your skiing and enjoying doing it. Hope to see you on the slopes.
