Southern California Storm (This is thread two)

[kwassa]

32. Time to cross-country ski on the Angeles Crest Highway!

or at Mt. Pinos near Frazier Park.

Two outstanding experiences, because of the views out into the desert, the beauty of the pine forests, and the snow. I would love to do it again.

I did this in the early '90s. I remember that a 7-year California drought broke in March '94. Ski resorts that had already closed for the season re-opened. Looks like March is the magic month again, or so I hope.

We had been skiing for years at Mammoth Lakes on man-made snow, and then the winter of 94-95 had massive rain and snow, and then Mammoth had a 15 foot base of snow on the ground. The snow lasted so long that we all went up to Mammoth on the closing weekend, the 4th of July (though the snow was lousy by then).

Then I moved to the East Coast.
