Well winter actually arrived in socal this year more or less and I couldnt be happier. I have been itching to go skiing for years, havent hit the slopes in about 6 years which sucks I know. So yesterday my friend and I decided on a whim to check out Mt. Baldy. For all you socal skiers and boarders this place is awesome. Yeah the lifts sucks, but the skiing is incredible. Everything was covered with fresh snow, skies were blue, weather was perfect and we had 5 feet of virgin snow to play in.

Almost everything on the mtn. is a diamond run since it is decently steep and covered with trees, a truely wonderful place to ski if you have good technical skills and arent intimidated by ice and trees. I LOVE this kind of skiing, my dad used to be on the us ski team and pushed me really hard when I was younger. We debated going to mammoth or big bear and mtn high but mt baldy was just so much better IMO.

It gets better though, we left around 2pm, we got there at 8 when the mtn. opened. Then we drove down to HB and surfed in the afternoon. Where else can you ski in the morning, surf in the afternoon and see a show at the laugh factory at night?

Happy holidays, happy new year and I am glad I live in socal.
