A: Any time! We are lucky to have pretty great weather, even in the winter. Earlier tours may be a bit chillier, but will have any fresh powder all to themselves. Customers who opt for the afternoon rides, will have the sun to help chase away the winter chills. 

A: We DO NOT offer transportation to/from our location. Mammoth does have a couple of taxi services. It's recommended to book early, as they do fill up fast, especially during the holidays. 

Mammoth Cab

Mammoth Taxi

*Please note: If you book only one snowmobile, and you exceed the weight limit, you will be asked to rent an additional snowmobile. If there are no extra machines available at the time of your tour, we will be unable to refund your booking. So please be sure to book the appropriate number of snowmobiles you and your group will need.

PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR ADDRESS TO FIND US! It will send you to a wrong location. We have tried to remedy this by removing our address from our website and other websites, but we are unable to 100% guarantee it's removed from everywhere. So PLEASE use the map links to get to us! DO NOT USE OUR ADDRESS! (seriously, some people still do it! Even after they read the info. Don't be that person)

If the weather is extremely bad, or road conditions prevent you from reaching us, we will cancel all rides and refund your payments. (This only applies if the CHP closes HWY 395. Not having chains, or not wanting to "risk driving" does NOT automatically mean a refund for you.)   If you are unsure about road/weather conditions on the day of, please call us. You can also check our FB page for updates and trail status. Please check the CAL-TRANS website for the latest information on road closures and conditions.

A: When snow is predicted, we operate as usual. If it begins to snow heavily, to the point of decreased viability, reservations are cancelled as far in advance as possible. Some rides may be pro-rated if a storm moves in too fast. If Highway 395 is closed that day, all reservations are notified as early as possible. Reservations are cancelled without penalty if we close on a snow day.  

A: Outdoor winter gear is recommended. You will be outside for several hours, plan accordingly: boots, ski/snow pants or bibs, jacket, and gloves/mittens. And like mom always said....wear layers! You can always take stuff off if you get hot. ;) 

For drivers: scarf, neck gaiter/buff...or something to cover your nose/mouth is recommended when the weather is unstable, or very cold.

All participants MUST wear closed toed shoes! And please don't wear Crocs. They are not suitable for snowmobiling and you will not be allowed to participate.
