Mammoth’s August Ski Report
Posted by admin under: Outings .
Terrible. Just Terrible. Nothing but dirt and rocks. On the other hand, it’s a great place to go mountain biking. I just got back from a family vacation to Mammoth and realized I’m not rich enough to go there in anything but the off season. The town, Mammoth Lakes, is really just a great big resort. Cool! They have a supermarket and Starbucks in my resort!
Wi-fi didn’t work. Could you tell? One of the ski lifts was in operation, though, taking mountain bikes up the hill so they could come back down the trails at a heart-stopping speed. Me? No. I had a flat tire. Honest. Plus, I was too scared.
If I was to take my troop, Boy Scout or Girl Scout, there I would definitely do the Devil’s Postpile and Rainbow Falls hike. It’s only about 4 miles total. Even though he was complaining because of the dust in his eyes my 5 year old son was able to make it so I’m sure a whole troop could.
The Inyo Fault which is an earthquake fault that you can go right next to was there, too. By the way, if anyone asks, Mono Lake stinks. Literally. The brine flies and the gulls and everything make the place smell awful. But it was cool to see the spring-fed tufa poking out of the lake.
Well, that’s a belated report about the neat things to see around Mammoth Lakes, California. Now it’s time to look for some Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts news.
One Comment so far...
