In a cold winter month of 2008, our small group of photographers from all over the country grabbed our snowboards to ride the mountains of Mammoth, California. During that week filled with exploration, spontaneity, and storied tales, a bond of mammoth-sized ideas and dreams was forged. We made a commitment to adventure again and adventure often. What started as a one time getaway has turned into inspiring journeys across the country, including trips along the california coast, the deserts of the southwest, the heavenly powder of utah, the dirty south, and the warm surf of hawaii. Over the years our little wolfpack has traveled by car, by plane, and by tour bus. We've made a million memories together, and photographed a million more…welcome to our online home where we are pleased to share some of them with you.
high fives and bear hugs,
the mammoth men.

special thanks to our most radical sponsors!
One year, nine months, and twenty one days in the making and the MAMMOTH MEN are finally on the road again! We're heading back to where the MAMMOTH MEN were conceived and are embarking on a road trip through the wild spaces of California. The canyons, mountains, lakes and rivers are calling, and we've answered, just in our own way - with 12 men stuffed into three SUVs.
This time we're doing things a little differently! We're bringing an entourage of prehistoric, vintage and archaic film photographers with us, so we will no longer be blogging as we go! All joking aside, our adventures will be hitting the world live, and in real time, via MAMMOTHMEN.TUMBLR.COM - which will be pooling all of our individual Instagram feeds.
Here is the roster of the MAMMOTH MEN joining this trip:

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our trip!

Put twelve image hungry men in a close proximity to each other for a week and you'll start hearing lots of this...
on any given mammoth men trip there is a metric crapton of gear, but this trip had some especially tasty pieces along for the ride.
