It's snowing!! 
When families come to Mammoth in the winter particularly, their concerned about costs. It's not just the cost of the rental, it's the clothing for the kids, the activities, food, transportation and so much more.

Renting a condo helps with the expenses becuase you can prepare your own meals and save money. We love to go snow shoeing and take our boogie boards and go sledding where no one has gone. My husband packs water, fresh bread, cheese, fruit and home made cookies and we all headout.

There are some awsome places to go sledding with young kids as well as teenagers. If you don't have snow shoes you can rent them for a few bucks for 1/2 day. It's as easy as walking. Pop on the snow shoes and walk out into the virgin snow. Sparkling and beckoning for you to leave your mark. You don't have to go far before you see a hill that no one has slid down. How can you resist? At least we can't, we all jump on our boggie boards (lying down on our stomachs and feet up in the air) off we go. Untouched snow. What a ride!!!!!! At the bottom it's easy since we have our snow shoes on we just walk up the hill and go again and again and again. Talk about bang for your buck. At the end of the day we are all tired with big grins on our faces. Come back to the condo and collapse, splurge and order dinner in, Pizza :)
