Are you the kind of person that likes to “rough it” and get an outdoor experience unmatched by any others? Well then backcountry camping is for you. The designated camp grounds will have a water source nearby that you can get your water from, but remember… boil to purify before drinking!
Not necessarily the camping type? How about backcountry skiing! Backcountry skiing is defined as: Backcountry skiing, is skiing in the backcountry on ungroomed and unmarked slopes, including skiing in unmarked or unpatrolled areas either inside or outside of a ski resorts 's boundaries. Unlike groomed cross-country and alpine skiing, the land and the snow pack are not monitored, patrolled, or maintained.
Backcountry skiing can be a very exciting experience for the right person. You have a chance to be the first person to ski on fresh powder in an area where no one else is around. You can experience pure silence, while enjoying the gorgeous surroundings of the uncharted territory you are exploring. There are tours that you can take as a beginner interested in getting started, or a seasoned veteran trying to spread the word to your friends and family!
Of course, backcountry skiing can be very dangerous, so as with all sports, take all safety precautions, and always tell someone where you are going.
After your backcountry experience, come and experience a comfortable vacation home with all the conveniences and comfort of home. Visit http://www.mammoth395.com/ or give us a call (818)883-2488

( 3 / 7189 )Do you enjoy photography?
Bodie Historical Park offers photography workshops to those who have a dedicated interest and love for all things photography. Generally the park is closed during the twilight hours and at night, but through these specially provided workshops, photographers are granted the rare opportunity to photograph Bodie during these prime lighting conditions. As an added benefit, these workshops guarantee that the photographers will have the park almost completely for themselves, and even provides access into some of the buildings that are not ordinarily open to the public.
Photographers Days are on the 3rd Saturday of each month and run from May through October.
Cost: $75 and it is from sunrise to 9am. So grab your cameras and head up to Bodie!
Like to stay in Bodie, well maybe not but do stay with us in Mammoth.
