I gingerly stepped over the sun-crusted snowbank, lamenting how worthless flip-flops are for these conditions. How was I to know we’d be seeing snow on a summer trip?
Skiing is not just a winter sport at Mammoth Mountain in Mammoth Lakes, California – the slopes are open until July 4 this year. We spotted several skiers and snowboarders swooshing down the slopes.
The Bike Park is open too, with 80 miles of track over 3,500 acres – you can do both in one day with the Ski & Bike package. Other summer activities include hiking, fishing, camping and gondola rides.
