 March 17. 2020 10:00AM PT Happy St. Patty's Day to Guests and Visitors. As families have begun to settle into a lifestyle of social distancing, we are seeing increased requests for bookings as urban visitors look to shelter and socially isolate in our tranquil, small-town setting. As of this morning, there are still no cases of Covid-19 in Mono County. It is critical that guests and locals use sensible precautions to prevent exposure and spread of disease. If you are planning to book with us, please take time to check out our quick self-assessment. Mammoth Mountain and most mountain operations remain closed. Many services (like public transport) have been either limited or closed down. Some stores are still open, though many have shortened their hours. Some restaurants are still open but only for take-out, not for dine-in. Bars are closed. Stores seem to be fairly well-stocked as compared to urban markets, tho predictably short on paper goods.
