Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center, Mammoth Lakes

Came here on a Friday around 2pm to go snowshoeing with three other friends, and didn’t have any reservation. We opted to get the rentals, which note that you don’t need to get a pass (as that’s for the cross country skiers). For the afternoon package, it’s $35 for the snowshoes and you can get poles for balance as well. Free parking is available in the front. The paths were clearly delineated on a map, although the employee who helped us said that we could go off-road as well. When we went to the trail, we tried to go on the shorter one that went through the forest, but somehow just kept going on the longer one that went around the lake. It was still a fun experience, we just got a longer workout than expected (which trust me, it’s definitely a full body workout). Be sure to bring sunglasses and water, since the snow made everything super bright and you gotta protect your eyes! SPF is a must as well.

Hands down one of the best experiences of my life! This was my first time Skiing and the team at Tamarack ensured it was amazing. Scott is an amazing coach and the rest of the staff is great too!
