Nordic Skiing and Snowshoeing at Tamarack Cross-country Ski Center
For an unforgettable winter experience,
escape to the serene tree-lined trails of Mammoth's scenic Lakes
Basin. Nineteen miles of freshly groomed skating, classic and
snowshoe trails await cross-country skiers and snowshoers of all
abilities. In the tranquility of the backcountry, only the sound of
winter birds and your own locomotion fills your ears as the bustle
of town dissolves. Experience the Sierras in a way few others do:
come play in woods.
