Happy New Year! January in Mammoth Lakes has a multitude of fun ways to celebrate the holidays with snowplay, entertainment, and champagne all month long! To start off, how about a New Year getaway to enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, and riding on the slopes, or fine art galleries and shops. Then top it off with a hot tub warm up and an evening of rollicking and dancing - definitely a time to start creating great memories for 2006! We've listed just a few teasers here. Be sure to go to our website www.CityConcierge.com to see the entire list of cool January happenings. Furthermore, the long Martin Luther King weekend is approaching and the winter storms are continuing to bring a lot of cheer to skiers and riders. Mammoth Mountain is covered in great snow - a 6-8 foot base with another 8" inches just this week. Temperatures are warm, around 40 degrees during the day but that fresh stuff is piling up from this week's forecasted storms! And remember, you can reserve your Footloose Sports ski gear online through our site so it is there when you are! What a cool way to spend January! So when ya drivin' up?
