Cross Country Skiing
While Mammoth is renowned for its world-class downhill skiing, its cross country skiing is among the best in the West. Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center, located at Twin Lakes in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, grooms 45 kilometers of track and skating lanes and provides lessons and rentals.
Or venture out on your own on the Inyo National Forest's winter trail system. The surrounding mountains, forests and meadows offer excellent ski touring and telemark terrain.
Blue diamonds mark the route for cross country skiers through tall Jeffrey pine forests and to fascinating geologic attractions like Inyo Craters, Obsidian Dome, and Hot Creek. Orange diamonds mark the corresponding routes for snowmobiling.
You won't have to go far to find magnificent vistas of the High Sierra. The Mammoth Visitor Center and Ranger Station located at the entrance to town on State Highway 203 offers free winter trail maps and information on guide services, special events, current trail conditions and regulations.
