Mount Baldy
No it’s not an oxymoron! It’s surfboards in Malibu, skateboards in the Valley and snowboards in the mountains! And real snow, 3 feet deep from the recent rainfall and gorgeous to boot. An hour and a half north of LA, it’s a haven for snow sport enthusiasts in Southern California where everybody brings their own board, binders and boots and pepper their sentences with dude.
Order a beer and a messy chili dog at the old school Top of the Notch, strap on your board and sunglasses (without which you will be blinded) and slide in! Prepare for some intense vertigo on rickety 50 year old ski lifts and a lot of tumbling fun. End the day descending into a bleeding heart sunset and slushy parking lots. What a weekend.
