FIRE SAFETY PROCEDURES

Plan what to do in case of a fire when you check in. You won’t have time to plan during a fire.

Smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher are provided for your safety. The fire extinguisher is normally located under your kitchen sink or in a more obvious location.

First, find two exits nearest your room. Be sure they are unlocked and unblocked.

Then, count doors between your room and exits, so you’ll have a reference point if it is smoky.

When you hear an alarm, act, don’t investigate.

If the fire is in your room, get out and close the door. Once out, report the fire.

If the fire is not in your room, leave if you can. First, feel your door. If it is cool, open it slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl in smoke. Fresh air will be at the floor. Take your key so you can get back in if you can’t use the exits.

Never use an elevator during a fire. They could stop at the fire floor.

If your door is hot, don’t open it. Your room may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks with wet towels. Shut off fans and air conditioners. Signal at your window. Call the Fire Department and wait to be rescued.

Mammoth Lakes offers many outdoor activities all-year round. World-renowned for its hiking, fishing and horseback riding, Mammoth Lakes is also home to Outside Magazine’s top-ranked mountain bike park in the USA.

ELEVATION AT MAMMOTH LAKES

One thing that many guests notice when they reach the Mammoth Lakes area is the high altitude. Everyone visiting the Mammoth Lakes area notices the altitude difference from their home location. Being 7,800 feet above sea level (and that’s just the town) is bound to have some effects.

For most people, getting acclimated to the altitude isn’t too uncomfortable. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, sluggishness, and minor headaches. But some people do experience more serious altitude sickness* which can really put a damper on a vacation or, worse, lead to health complications.

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ACCLIMATE.

You’ve probably been looking forward to this trip for some time. You only have a set time limit to do all the activities you want to do. Listen to your body and ease into your activities so that you don’t hit a wall early on.

WEAR PLENTY OF SUNSCREEN.

A consequence of the air being thinner at high altitude is that UV rays are stronger. In Mammoth, you’ll be much more prone to sunburn because the thin air doesn’t provide a buffer. Make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and a good pair of sunglasses.

STAY HYDRATED.

You may be surprised to find out that high altitude also means dry, dry conditions. And, in most ways, that’s a good thing. Mammoth’s dry climate makes for great snow, beautiful summers, and a diverse ecosystem. But it also poses some unique challenges in terms of staying hydrated.

Without getting too technical, it’s helpful to know the three ways that high elevation strips you of hydration. To begin, at high altitude, your body produces twice the amount of water through breathing and sweating than it does at sea level. At the same time, low air pressure leads to quicker evaporation of moisture off the skin. And, finally, the high risk of sunburn means that your skin might not be absorbing moisture normally.

Obviously, the best response is to drink way more water than you usually would. This can be tricky advice for folks to remember, especially because our mild temperatures don’t exactly remind us that we need to drink more water. So, get ahead of dehydration by always carrying a water bottle and reminding your loved ones to continually drink water.

LAST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF.

If you want to make the most of your trip and are not from a high-altitude climate, you will need to take the time to adjust, take special care to prevent dehydration and sunburn, and take every opportunity to rest. If you follow these steps, you’ll be setting yourself up for a safe, fun-filled vacation in Mammoth!

*Altitude sickness can range from mild to life-threatening. If you notice someone exhibiting severe symptoms such as disorientation, fainting, and tightness in the muscles and chest, you should consult a doctor right away.
