Mammoth has hundreds of miles of groomed trails and 1,000 of acres of open space to ride.

The Mammoth Web | Mammoth Area Winter Recreation Trail Report

Mammoth is a ski town and nothing else. Most people will frown when you say snowmobile. Too expensive for the fishermen and hikers in summer.

Real-time Weather Report Forecast Mammoth Mountain Lakes Ca!

Don't know how much you want to spend for lodging. We rent a Condo and it holds 10 people and goes for $300 a day. This is suppose to be a cheap price. A hour to the north of Mammoth is June Lake and is a family atmosphere ... much cheaper at simiar elevation (7000) and access to the same sled trail system. To the south more than a hour is BISHOP ... 4000 elevation no snow or trails and it is where the "poor" people live. There is a bus going back and forth from Mammoth to Bishop ONCE a day .. cost $5.00 and a room in Bishop is $60 and the same room cost $150 in Mammoth.

Mammoth Mountain - Official Resort Site - Winter

Mammoth Lakes Snowmobile - Mono County, California

There are two dealers in Mammoth Polaris and Arctic Cat. They are NOT well stocked. The next closest dealer is a hundred miles away.

Arctic Cat Yamaha Sierra Engine

ALSO Polaris

MAMMOTH KTM

If you have a towing vehicle you can rent an older water cooled sled with trailer for 150 - 300 a day. Sometimes the dealers have loaners or rentals. Local sled rental agencies for TOURING require you to stay on trail and go under 25 MPH plus all sleds are air cooled.

Definitely need to hook up with the local club.

Mammoth is part of the California Nevada Snowmobile Association. California Nevada Snowmobile Association
Mammoth Lakes Snowmobile Club is the local club and Bill the locksmith is the man you want to get to know. 760-934-6157 cbsauser@earthlink.net
I know he is an off trail guy and rides on Sunday. They are always planning group trips because when it snows there it dumps and a friend or two really helps in 3 feet of powder.

A local will take you places you would never find on your own.

Could safely say Mammoth have more snow than you need but I am sure someone found a rock or branch off trail and would dispute a bottomless powder boast.

5 plus feet in town and California style bottomless powder in the trees.

Most of the sno-parks in California have more than enough trail pack of 5 feet plus and more than average for off trail.

Snow storm right now. Two feet new snow today in town at 7,000 feet.

Expect 4-5 feet MORE by monday !

With the 5 foot base will be nice with all the powder on top.

Storm dropped 3 feet at 7,000 feet (in town at Mammoth Lakes) and 6 plus feet above 8500.

This puts the base above 10 feet at higher elevation. In town base at least 5 feet before storm so ... should add a foot or two.

Good old Sierra Cement Snow so bring your beacon.

Day temps expected around 50 and night in 20's No storm on horizon for at least a week.
