Ride a Mule. Shred a Slope. One Wild Weekend.

Ever done both in one trip?
If not, this is your chance to make it happen—this weekend.

🧠 What if your ski weekend started with a rodeo?

We SoCal skiers know how to layer it up—on the mountain and in life.
This Memorial Day weekend? We’re going full contrast.
Dust + snow. Mules + moguls.

Mule Days in Bishop is in full swing. Mammoth’s lifts are still turning.
And you’ve got time to do both.

🎬 Picture This…

Saturday morning, you’re sipping coffee in a folding chair in Bishop.
Cowboy hats bob past, mules strut their stuff, and you’re grinning like a kid on a field trip.
By Sunday, you’re slicing through corn snow at 10,000 feet with the wind in your helmet and sunscreen in your goggles.

From small-town hoedown to high-alpine shred—it’s the wildest weekend on the calendar.

🐴 Saturday: Mule Days in Bishop

This town goes full cowboy through Sunday, and it’s unlike anything else in the West.

Still to come:

• Main Street Parade: Saturday morning, hoof-powered and full of heart.

• Mule Games + Rodeo: Think barrel racing, pack races, and saddle showdowns.

• Evening BBQ & Concerts: At the Tri-County Fairgrounds—your après, desert-style.

• Vendor Village: Pick up handmade goods, camp chairs, and a new appreciation for the word “bray.”

Pro tip: No hotel? No problem. Last-minute tip: check for cancellations on Airbnb, local inns, or call the Bishop Visitors Center for campground tips.

⛷️ Sunday or Monday: Final Turns at Mammoth Mountain

Snow’s still deep, and Mammoth is finishing strong after 300+ inches this season.

What to know:

• Lifts Open 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM daily
  (Unbound Express keeps spinning till 3:00 PM for park sessions)

• Best Zones: Climax, Cornice, and the top for that spring corn glide

• Still Got Air: At least 3 terrain parks are open for late-season laps

Pro tip: Get there early, ski hard, and treat yourself to one final Mammoth beer on the sundeck.

🎓 The Big Lesson

Adventure doesn’t have to make sense.
It just has to move you.

One day you’re cheering for mules.
The next you’re chasing spring turns on the edge of summer.

This weekend? It’s your reminder that wild combos make the best memories.

🧭 Repeatable Proverb

“From saddles to slush—spring’s more fun when you mix it up.”
