May In Mammoth

This weekend I ran both days in shorts/ t-shirt. Light wind, snow on the peaks, more bikes than vehicles on the road!
Monday, snow/rain, flannel lined jeans and three layers on top! What’s the lesson here: In Mammoth, never put your Winter gear too far away, no matter the time of year.

This is important to all the visitors who come to the Eastern Sierra who partake in our Spring/Summer/Fall activities. Enjoy yourself, but be prepared! Here are some May events to consider:

1. Round-up at the Lake: Convict Lake Spring Fishing Derby. This is hosted by Convict Lake Resort and runs from April 26th – June 12th. There’s a total of $6500 in resort prizes. $30 entry fee.
