ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS, MAY 2006

Looks like we're skiing until July 4th again this year. But don't wait that long to enjoy all that Mammoth has going on this month. With the mountain reporting a 15 to 17 foot base and fresh powder, packed powder, and machine-groomed snow, now is the time to get in some super spring skiing. The weather is awesome - sunny, clear, and just warm enough to hang with friends outside. Although the Canyon Lodge and Little Eagle lodges' are now closed, the Main Lodge stays open through July 4. And there are some great pro-rider competitions and camps this month on the Mountain. Now for you non-skiers, there's plenty to do as the weather warms and the trails start to melt out. Most importantly, the 2006 Fishing Season has begun! Many of the lakes and streams at lower elevations are in prime condition for early season fishing. Alper's is stocking Convict Lake, Crowley, and June Lake, so the fishing is bound to be great, along with some spectacular weather for the whole family to enjoy. Remember to plan and book your Mammoth Lakes early. Summer weekends are filling up fast. Don't wait to the last minute or drive up without any reservations at all. There are so many fun things to do up here, so check out all the the things to do this month. So when ya drivin' up?
