MINNEAPOLIS, February 25, 2011 - As AOR for Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort, Colle+McVoy recently launched its first campaign for the resort that in some ways is like a grand opening. For decades, Mammoth’s jaw-dropping topography and famous terrain parks were only accessible by car - preferably the 4x4 variety. But with new air service from Los Angeles, the Bay Area and beyond, Mammoth’s 11,000-foot summit is now accessible to all. Higher than any West Coast resort, we introduced the tagline, "The top of California."
