What are your plans this Memorial Day? Come up to Mammoth and enjoy the fresh snow on the mountain. It may be spring time but Mammoth has received over a foot of snow last week! Mammoth Mountain will be offering live music, games and even a mechanical bull at Main Lodge this weekend. They will also have open over 2,000 acres of skiable terrain.

If you’re not feeling the spring skiing there is plenty of other fun activities planned for you and your family. Convict Lake Resort Round-up at the LakeFishing Derby – $6,000 in resort prizes, horseback riding, boat rentals, and Jalapeno Bourbon BBQ & D.J. T’s! They still have some cabins available so don’t hesitate to call!

Mule Days in Bishop is also going on this weekend. This is a favorite amongst the locals. More than 30,000 visitors come each year for the annual Mules Days activities. There will be a rodeo, horse jumping, a parade, live music, dancing, and much more! This is a great place to take the kids!

Regardless of what activities you choose to do this weekend, just come up and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery in Mammoth Lakes this weekend!

Though we’ve had record snowfalls this winter, it doesn’t mean the fun has to stop as the temperatures rise. There are selections of golf courses in the area to unwind and enjoy the weather. Mammoth is geologically unique, providing fresh powder and hot springs and fishing spots just a short drive away. After spending a morning on the slopes, take a dip in the Hot Creek or Buckeye natural hot springs located a few miles from the Mammoth Yosemite Airport and Mammoth Mountain.

There are three hot spring locations in the Mammoth region; Hot Creek, Travertine and Buckeye. Some offer visitors a backdrop of the Sierras, while others have a nearby campground for those who plan to relax in the hot spring around the clock. The hot springs are a short drive from the city; it is the perfect activity for outdoors enthusiasts who want to escape. Because the hot springs are remote enough from the urban centers, there are no commercial food establishments, so be sure to bring a picnic basket!

Golfing is another great way to make the most of the spring season in the Sierra Nevadas. Bishop Country Club is a well-maintained 18-hole course that is challenging for golfers of all experience levels. This club has a fully-equipped Pro Shop with rental clubs and carts available and almost every golf accessory or apparel you can imagine. You are also more than welcome to just hit some balls at the driving range or spend time in the practice bunker and chipping area.

Lastly, because the eastern Sierras are surrounded by several gorgeous lakes and creeks, fishing is a great way to explore the area. It is a great way to either lay back and catch the sunrise or experience a different outdoor adventure. Interested anglers over the age of 16 must have a fishing license. They are available for purchase at several locations in the Mammoth Lakes vicinity.
