Ski touring from Mill City to McLeod Lake offers a classic, extended winter tour over a wide variety of terrain, both groomed and off-piste, and a perfect introduction to the wonders of the Mammoth Lakes Basin in winter—especially on a sunny day. Starting from the winter road closure at the end of Old Mammoth Road, follow the roadway beneath Mammoth Rock to the junction with the groomed public access corridor on Lake Mary Road. Follow this all the way out to Horseshoe Lake, after which you may find a skintrack to follow, or you can blaze your own. Return the way you came.
