Located in the woods on the way to Mammoth Mountain's Main Lodge, the Snowplay area with gigantic inner-tubes are also very popular. While Mammoth is renowned for its world-class downhill skiing, its cross country skiing is among the best in the West. In addition to two Nordic ski centers in the Mammoth area, the surrounding mountains, forests and meadows offer excellent ski touring and telemark terrain. Mammoth is bordered by miles of Inyo National Forest Lands, with marked trails designated for ski touring or snowmobiling. Blue diamonds mark the route for cross country skiers through tall Jeffrey pine forests and to fascinating geologic attractions like Inyo Craters, Obsidian Dome, and Hot Creek.
Orange diamonds mark the corresponding routes for snowmobiling.
