xcountry skiing
I went xcountry skiing at Tamarck in Mammoth yesterday. It was a beautiful day with blue skys and not much wind. I really enjoyed wandering around on the groomed tracks after taking a ski lesson. They have some fresh snow up there and a big storm coming in this week sometime.
I'm looking forward to heading back up there again.

There are lots of groomed trails at Tamarack. They groom them daily. It cost me $68 for the lesson, rentals, and pass for the day. It is $25 for a day pass and you can also get an afternoon pass for slightly less. Also some of the trails have an area that runs at the side of them where you can ski or snowshoe for free - those areas are a bit rougher and there aren't as many of them.
Here's more information:

I think I'll try to get back up there again before the end of the season.

Brian,
I'd try the Obsidian Dome Rd. area for teaching your son. There are no snow-mobiles allowed like they are at the Deadman's summit play area. There's a nice ~1.5 mile groomed system that takes you back to the Dome. Slight uphill grade the whole way in, and then slightly downhill the whole way out. Have fun.
