Mammoth Lakes, CA: Complete Winter Guide

In the record breaking '23-'24 year, I was buried under 600 inches of fresh powder living as a ski-instructor in SoCal's favorite mountain town. While I was shoveling myself out, I learned some of the secrets of Mammoth Lakes that make the town special outside of Alterra's incredible mega-resort. Experience the town like a true local with tips for: 

❄︎ Cafés 
❄︎ A Base Area Breakdown (which of the 3 is best for you!) 
❄︎ Mammoth's Best Runs (and lesson tips) 
❄︎ Hot Springs
❄︎ Hikes 
❄︎ Indoor Fun
❄︎ Restaurants (with gluten free, of course!) 
❄︎ Après-Ski 
❄︎ Lodging
❄︎ Getting Around

Woolly's Tube Park & Snow Play

Snow Tubing: Check out Woolly’s Tube Park for a fun-filled, snowy activity. If you have kids, this is a great way to spend an afternoon. They also have a big snow play area, and a snack bar with hot chocolate and adult beverages. I recommend booking your tickets in advance; you can’t buy same day tickets online. Pro-tip: Again, parking is limited here, so I suggest taking the shuttle.

Legs need a rest but you still want the rush of wind in your face? Look no further. 

Woolley's tube park is a blast to speed down the mountain in a cozy seated position.
