Cross Country Skiing

Print
  • The Mammoth Lakes Trail System offers dozens of miles of world-class groomed and ungroomed trails for cross-country skiing. Kick and glide or skate-ski from the Welcome Center on the MLTS Nordic Trail System at Shady Rest. Share the snowmobile tracks from the Mammoth Scenic Loop around the Inyo Craters, or, when conditions are good, head to the winter staging areas at Shady Rest Park or the Sherwins Trailhead (Borrow Pit). Equipment rentals are available in town and at the Tamarack Lodge Cross-Country Ski Center.
