Even as the days warm and the snows recede during this incredible past winter, you can still hit the slopes on the Mountain. Go ahead, max out the fun, and wring out the ski season all the way to July 4th this year! But for those of you who are ready for summertime activities, Mammoth is way ahead of you with plenty of recreational, cultural, family, and sporting events to experience, such as a gondola ride to 11,000 feet, mountain biking a volcano, and dancing in a meadow. The 2006 Fishing Season is in full swing! Many of the lakes and streams at lower elevations are stocked and just waiting for that new Father's Day fishing pole to cast a worm. The Nationally famous Mammoth Mountain Motocross is happening mid-June, with events and races for the whole family. The town's big Fourth of July celebration is just around the corner, too. The hills are definitely alive with fun. So, remember to plan and book your Mammoth Lakes vacation early. Weekends are filling up fast.
