New for Summer at Mammoth Mountain
Woolly’s Adventure Summit– The family-favourite Woolly’s Adventure Summit continues to evolve in its second full summer of operations. Relocation of adventure activities from Main Lodge to Woolly’s Adventure Summit is currently in progress, including the Climbing Wall, Play Park, Ropes Course (with an expansion of a Tree Trek Course) and Dual Zip Line. The relocated activities are anticipated to be online by Memorial Day weekend, with the exception of the Dual Zip Line, which is targeted for completion by the 4th of July holiday weekend. Moreover, a natural playground including a log climber, boulders and tunnels, traverse logs, timber swings, a low ropes course, and a new Sky Net play structure above it, will open this fall, allowing guests of all ages to hang out, climb, and explore. 
Summer Adventure Pass – Expanded this year, the Summer Adventure Pass provides unlimited access to the Climbing Wall, Zip Line, Bungee Tramp, Ropes Course, Archery, Summer Tubing, Coaster, and Scenic Rides.
Party on the Mountain (July 5 and 26)- A favourite among locals, Party on the Mountain is back, combining the stunning views of June Mountain with live music, local brews, and BBQ, culminating at the quintessential Eastern Sierra high alpine party. Tickets will go on sale in early summer.
New Openings around Town
Minaret Club- The latest from Mammoth Lakes restaurateur Matt Toomey, this new speakeasy featuring craft cocktails and small bites is set to open in July. It is intended to be intimate, with a small dining room located very near Toomey’s Restaurant in The Village.
Skadi- One of Mammoth’s most iconic restaurants is open this summer at its new location inside the Emperia High Sierra Hotel. Since 1995, Skadi and owner/chef Ian Allgerøen have treated guests to a menu carefully crafted to reflect his Norwegian heritage, classical French training and time working in the Swiss Alps. The new and intimate 10-table dining room is the perfect showcase for one of Mammoth’s original and most beloved fine dining establishments. 
Climbing Boulder at Mammoth Creek Park- Set for installation this spring, the Mammoth Lakes Outdoor Freeform Climbing Boulder is designed and built by EP Climbing and will encompass 1,117 square feet of climbing surface. With problems and crack seams for climbers of all abilities and down routes from a trex top deck, it is a great free activity for all adventure enthusiasts.
Additional Access to Reds Meadow- Located just 30 minutes from Mammoth Lakes, the Reds Meadow is one of the most popular spots in the area known for the Devils Postpile National Monument, 101-foot Rainbow Falls, and the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Currently, construction is underway on Reds Meadow Road, and access will be expanded this year to include Thursdays as well. Temporary closures for construction will still be in place Monday to Wednesdays. Taking the shuttle into Reds Meadow from Mammoth Mountain’s Main Lodge parking lot is highly encouraged and provides the best experience. The service is tentatively scheduled to begin on July 3.
