If Trader Joe's and Aldi Had A Baby

I'm gonna be totally honest, I was skeptical about this place. Seriously-- I feel that way about almost anyplace that has the word 'outlet' in the title. So yah, I profiled this place based just on the name. And later, when they started building, I was even more concerned. Location, lack of parking, size all confirmed my worries. But man, was I wrong-- at least about some of it.

My Favorite Mountain Rest Stop

1/9/2019

0 Comments

 
There are lots of reasons that I love heading to the backside of Mammoth Mountain-- sunny afternoons, no crowds, long runs, fresh snow, breathtaking vistas, wind protection. But my favorite reason head to the Northwest face is The Outpost. (Fair Warning: Getting to the backside is a commitment and you will need to take the inexplicably speedy, tiny-chaired, 2-man lift #12).

Mammoth Rock-n-Bowl

7/5/2018

 
I'll never forget the time my girlfriend told me, "You should check out the bowling alley. It just opened and its really cool." Yah, right, I thought to myself. How cool could a bowling alley possibly be? But you know what? She was right.

Carroll's Market Big Pine

Check out those photos. Looks like an old fashioned, independent grocery, right? Well, that's cause that's exactly what it is. Though the building is older, this family-run business has easy parking, fresh groceries and a convenient diner just next door. Inside the store, the staff is friendly, the selection is amble and its a lot less crowded than the large chain stores in Bishop and Mammoth. The prices aren't bad, either.

Rock-n-Bowl Bar Eats

11/24/2017

If you're looking for a kid-friendly spot with good pizza & wings and great drinks, put the Mammoth Rock-n-Bowl bar at the top of your list. It's not the bowling alley food you're used to, I promise.

With a fine dining restaurant upstairs, and a shared kitchen, I should have known. Not only is the food really good compared to most bowling alleys, but it has one of the best views in all of Mammoth.

Crowley General Store-- a Food & Wine Gem

9/1/2017

When we're in Mammoth we are always looking for somewhere new to grab lunch so we can get on with our adventures. One afternoon this summer, when I picked up my fisherboy from the fishing Crowley, we decided to stop in for lunch at Crowley General Store.

Little Doubt About Black Doubt Brewing

8/15/2017

0 Comments

 

We stopped in to this small, almost hidden space in the corner of a strip mall on a hot, summer day and were so glad we did. Like everyone else on earth, we love craft beer and we usually bring beer with us when we are in Mammoth from SoCal breweries that we love.

​We won't need to do that anymore because these people really know how to do hops. 
This place is what every mircrobrewery should strive to be-- courageous with their brews. Because of that, their beers are all super-flavorful and unique. Its a tiny place, and lacks the impressive location that Mammoth Brewing enjoys, but the superior beer is worth the stop.

They welcome you to bring in your own food, and several local eateries are happy to deliver, there, too. Check the bulletin board for eateries or ask the staff-- they're awesome, too. Our close favorites is Salsas, which you can read about here. 
Its fun to try their taster flight, and then grab some to enjoy back at Sonenalp. They sell crowlers (cans to order) and howlers (half growlers) so that's an option if you feel like heading home to enjoy your brew. If you're staying at Sonenalp, check your kitchen for a growler so you can save some money and just get it filled. We try to keep a growler and howler in the units to guests to use during their stay.

Like most of Mammoth, Black Doubt is dog-friendly, but the inside space is very small so keep that in mind if you bring your paw-baby. There is a tiny outdoor sidewalk space, too.
