    You will be able to ride the intermediate and perhaps a couple of black diamond trails like skid marks, kamikaze, and richter. For the double blacks and most of the single blacks like flow, follow me, shock treatment, etc... I don't think you have enough bike.

    Not to worry though there are plenty of intermediate trails out there. Lots of cross country riding to do.

    Are the trails marked and easy to find? Do they have maps I can buy? How is the terrain, very loose sandy like big bear? Just wondering.

    If you are going to ride the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park, you will need to purchase a ticket to access the trails. If you are just going to pedal, there is a pass for that. If you want to ride the lift and use the shuttle van, the ticket will cost you a few more dollars. And yes, they have trail maps and all of the trails are marked (unlike Big Bear). There are many types of terrain and soil types there.

    I would want to take the lift up the mountain. I just wanted to get a general idea of the terrain on the down hill runs.

    Well who wants to go? Let me know. I'm going the second week of Sept. We are going to get a two bed room condo. So let me know if you want to go. We will split the cost for we don't have to spend a lot. We will be there for two nights only. Coming back Sunday.
