California
snow skiing and snowboarding are available at over
30 ski resorts throughout California. Mountain
ranges where you'll find easy to challenging skiing
include the popular San Bernardino mountains in
Southern California, touting a beach-close location
just two hours from the beach. And in northern
California, the bulk of the skiing can be enjoyed
for the greatest part in the Sierra Nevada mountain
range, plus Mt. Shasta and Yosemite's Badger Pass.
Ski and Skiing Travel Guides
abound, offering
tips on where to go for snow in California. The best
place to check out the snow is in person. Most the
ski resorts offer sledding and tubing areas, as
well, some ice skating and cross country skiing.
Nearly every ski resort now has a web site offering
at a minimum, reports on the open slopes and lifts.
Some of the high tech, big biz destinations now have
cams, daily video postings, music and entertainment,
plus extreme events and competitions to keep it
fresh and fun.
We're
all about having fun and though California mountains
and ski slopes make their own snow, it helps when
the storms pass through, assuring nearly every ski
lift and trail will be open for the winter season
and ski vacations. While California is but one of
many US ski destinations, the local, growing
population has assured that there isn't a shortage
of skiers and snowboarders, families on winter
weekend getaways, or singles looking for extreme
thrills to make these mountain ski areas thrive.
Got
snow? Big Bear Mountain does. And so does Tahoe,
Mammoth and Bear Mountain. The Sierras are dressed
in white, and the San Bernardino Mountains are
jazzed when the storms blow through, bringing the
beautiful white powder that skiers, snowboarders,
and we flat-landers crave for our winter escapes
from the sunny beaches, central valleys and dry
deserts. Not every year offers the abundance that
Southern California ski slopes would hope for, or
event Badger Pass at Yosemite. But most major
commercial ski resorts have snow making equipment
that get cranked up as long as it's cold enough
outdoors for some winter fun.
