If you're looking for the shortest drive to snow, Mount Baldy is your best bet. It's like LA's attempt at a mountain, and sometimes it even puts on a decent snow show. Just don't expect a full-blown Narnia situation.
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
Other Snowy Options
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
- Big Bear: This is where the party's at. It's a bit of a drive, but you get proper snow, cute cabins, and the chance to pretend you're in a Hallmark movie.
- Mountain High: Another option for those who don't want to commit to a long drive. It's smaller than Big Bear, but still offers some decent slopes.
- Wrightwood: This little town is a charming base for exploring the surrounding mountains. It's a good compromise between Mount Baldy and the bigger resorts.
Tips for Your Snowy Adventure
- Check the weather: This might sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people forget.
- Dress warmly: Layers, people, layers. And don't forget those hand and toe warmers.
- Bring chains: If you're driving, chains are a must. It's the law, and for good reason.
- Be prepared for crowds: Weekends can be crazy, so plan accordingly.
- Enjoy the ride: Even if the snow isn't perfect, the experience is still pretty cool (pun intended).
How to...
- How to avoid getting frostbite? Dress in layers, cover your extremities, and take breaks indoors.
- How to pack for a snow day? Warm clothes, sturdy boots, sunscreen (yes, really), and snacks.
- How to find the best snow conditions? Check online resources like ski resort websites and weather forecasts.
- How to stay safe while driving in the snow? Slow down, increase following distance, and use chains when required.
- How to make the most of your snow day? Sledding, snowboarding, building a snowman, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
