Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day... warm enough for me to strut around in a t-shirt. Dave and Neill got off of work early, and we decided to head out for some night skiing at Mountain High. Mountain High had their snowmaking machines on during the entire week and we figured this was our best chance for some decent skiing/boarding conditions this late in the season and with the Santa Ana winds blowing in.
Mountain High is located in the San Gabriel mountains, about a 2 hour drive from San Diego. Unfortunately for us, last night was the Friday before a long weekend with tons of people heading out to Vegas and clogging the freeway. Ugh, it took us about 4 hours to get there! But dang, it was worth it! It had been 6 years since Neill's gone boarding, and 4 years for me and Dave. The conditions were great, a bit icy with a nice layer of soft snow on top.... similar to Hunter Mountain, and way better than Mountain Creek. The place has tons of jumps and fun things scattered throughout the trails. We weren't ready to go on any of them, but it's nice to know we have a decent snow park so close to us!

We followed this with a midnight dinner in Rowland Heights and then headed on back to SD....

Snowboarding/skiing in California? I thought it was 70 degrees there year round :)
Hope things are well with the house.
