I’ve skied Mammoth dozens of times. I’m pretty sure the lifts are more than 10 feet above the ground. Maybe the loading/unloading areas are the problem but that’s what snow plows are for.

So far this season, 328 inches have fallen,
divide 328 by 12. You get 27.3 ft. deep snow.
In the winter of 83 I was skiing at Squaw and the Headwall chair was running in a trench cut by the cats. Early season that point would have been close to 100 feet off the ground. Snow drifts.
It’s been decades since I skied at Mammoth, but I thought the lifts were on pipes that could be raised or lowered.
