It's already been a historic season here in Mammoth Lakes and to add to it today Mammoth Mountain announced that it will be open daily for skiing and riding until AT LEAST the end of July.

As always, does not have a specific closing date yet, but they will plan to stay open as long as conditions allow. Sitting on one of the deepest base depths ever recorded at Main Lodge, it's going to be some of the best spring (and summer!) skiing and riding we've ever seen.

With another Atmospheric River storm here today, please continue to play it safe by checking roads conditions via Caltrans, either at Roads.dot.ca.gov for up to the minute road conditions/chain restrictions or use the Caltrans Quick Map: Quickmap.dot.ca.gov. You can also call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).

We are also still experiencing extreme snow loads on many structures/buildings around town. If you are visiting Mammoth Lakes in the coming days, please be aware of this extreme snow load advisory. If you are checking into your lodging property and notice anything that looks amiss, please report structural damage to (760) 965-3629 or visit townofmammothlakes.ca.gov for more details.


We are so happy to be skiing into summer, and as always, please continue to Be Patient, Be Considerate and Be Kind. We appreciate it so much!

Essential Ankle Movements For Skiing

Excellent video demonstration and explanation. One caution, though, if you have overly flexible arches or not, be careful you do not develop Achilles tendinitis or plantar fasciitis performing the Masai welcoming dance. Work into it very slowly. I recommend wearing a stability running shoe when doing these exercise progressions.

A good boot fitter knows there is no average foot when it comes to custom bootfitting. Ski boot manufacturers recognize this, which is why their performance boots come in three shell and liner widths and volumes. Much has changed in the last few years. Besides more moldable shells, heat moldable liners have been a game changer. With this higher tech comes a more comfortable and precise fit. An expert boot fitter can custom-craft your fit and performance like never before.

Today's ski boots offer a more precise fit, once customization is complete. Before customization of the liner and shell, can proceed, a custom insole is necessary to provide a stable platform for the foot, preventing arch and ankle collapse. The insole must also prevent inward twisting and tipping of the knee, thus creating a stronger stance.
