Pet Policy

During October, November, and December we have no scheduled outings so leaders can enjoy a break. Most likely they will be out hiking, kayaking, backpacking, volunteering and looking forward to the ski season. Winter and spring outings will be published and announced in local media. Need more information? Contact leaders: John Walter (760 934-1767, email: walter@qnet.com); Jean Dillingham (760 648-7109, email: jdill@qnet.com); or Bryce Wheeler (760 934-3764, email: telebry@verizon.net).

Wednesday Evening Fun, Fitness and Discovery Hikes - completed for 2009.

2009 Summer Hikes - completed for 2009.

2009-2010 Winter Outings - January 7, 2010 our winter outings will start with the Thursday morning snow play event and continue through winter and spring as long as snow conditions and weather permit. The Sunday trips will begin January 10. The meeting place and time for both Thursday and Sunday outings will be the Mammoth Lakes Union Bank parking lot at 10 am. Suitable rental equipment is available locally.

Thursday morning snow play and easy treks will last about two hours. We will concentrate on conditioning, technique practice and learning about our local landscape and critters. All skill levels are welcome. We like to help newcomers get started. Bring water and lunch or a snack and skis or snowshoes. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, gloves, appropriate footwear and layered clothing to be prepared for changeable weather.

Sunday trips will usually be easy tours (about 5 miles) and open to both snowshoers and skiers; however, snowshoers must be able to keep up. Occasionally the trips will be longer and more difficult. We are not usually on groomed trails. Most Nordic track or touring skis will work, although waxless, patterned skis are preferred. Newer, lightweight snowshoes are preferable. Dress in layered clothing, wear sunscreen sunglasses, hat, gloves, Bring water and lunch or hearty snack.

Weather and snow conditions determine where we go. If you have a favorite trip, let us know and we will try to add it to our list. We welcome new participants and qualified leaders. If you are interested in becoming a leader, call one of the leaders (phone numbers above) for more information. Until the snow arrives, enjoy fall colors and our spectacular mountains.
