What’s Up Off the Hill in Mammoth Lakes & The Eastern Sierra?

In Mammoth Lakes and around the Eastern Sierra, it’s looking a lot like winter once you hit the 7500-foot elevation level. Below that, there are patches of snow down to Crowley and Tom Places. From the Sherwin Grade Down to Bishop, there is no snow at this time.

Mammoth Lakes has about a foot of snow on the ground, making it possible for snow play in parts of town. With the snow down in town, the paved trail system is mostly snow-covered now. I have not checked to see if they have blown any sections off yet.

Up in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, the Tamarack Cross Country Ski Area is now Open.  The public access path up to Lake Mary is also open for snowshoers who want to go into the Lakes Basin.

Wolly’s Adventure Summit is open with sledding, snow play, and the new Mountain Roller Coaster that comes down from the top of the old Sledz operation.

Upper Rock Creek Canyon Road is open to the county Snow Park, with the gate locked at that point. With the new snow, now is a great time to snowshoe from the locked gate up the road.

Lower Rock Creek Canyon Trail is snow-free and open for hikers and mountain bikers. The last time I checked, the trail was in great condition. Mountain bikers riding downhill need to slow down and watch for numerous hikers and dogs on the trail.
