There is also cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing for those who like some
extra fitness with their winter won-
derland.
Once the snow melts, that's when
many of the natural beauties – such
as Devil's Postpile, Rainbow Falls
and the scenic backcountry of
the legendary John Muir Trail
– come out to play.
From hiking and biking to
fishing, canoeing and world-
class landscape photography,
"We actually have more people
who come spring, summer and fall,
numbers-wise, than in the winter-
time," said John Urdi, Executive Di-
rector of Mammoth Lakes Tourism.
"There's something going on every
single weekend, basically, from early
June until late October."
This year, several of the communi-
ties along the 395 corridor hosted a
new month-long event dubbed "Out-
side on the Eastside." Urdi said the
series brought extra visitors to Mam-
moth Lakes during the weeks be-
tween Labor Day and "first snow,"
and that it was successful enough to
likely warrant a follow-up in 2017.
Several attractions are also sched-
uled for the spring, including the
Mammoth Lakes Film Festival from
May 24-28 and a half marathon and
5K on June 18.
In the meantime, flying to Mam-
moth Lakes got a whole lot easier this
year with new air service to the air-
port a few miles east of town. JetSui-
teX announced it would be flying a
chartered commercial flight out of
Burbank four days a week, between
Dec. 15 and April 3. Also during the
winter, Alaska Airlines flies from L.A.
and San Diego to Mammoth Lakes,
and United Airlines from San Fran-
cisco, increasing visits to the area.
"We have visitors from all over the
world – China's becoming a much
bigger market, as well as Australia,
the UK, Germany, Italy," Urdi said.
