June Mountain, like its neighbor and current owner, Mammoth Mountain, has traditionally been popular with skiers from Southern California, in part because of its relative ease of automobile access in winter compared to the Lake Tahoe resorts, which are traditionally more accessible to Northern California residents. June Mountain is also popular with the people and local elementary and high school ski programs and race teams in the surrounding small towns of Mono County, many of whom depend on it for a substantial portion of their winter tourism base.
June Mountain hosted the 2006 Ski Mountaineering Race Series and the ski and snowboard portions of the 2006 California Winter Games in March 2006.
On June 21, 2012, Mammoth Mountain and the Starwood Capital Group announced that they are closing June Mountain for the summer season and as well as the winter 2012/2013 season, after 50 years continuous operation. An active citizen movement has arisen in response, raising concerns about both the prospects for sustaining the local communities if the mountain closes, and the process followed by Mammoth Mountain, including their statements that June Mountain is not for sale to others who might keep it open in the small community.
