California: The Golden State? More Like the Snowy State (Sometimes)
You might be thinking, "California? Snow? Are you kidding me?" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because California has a split personality. While one side is busy basking in sunshine and sipping margaritas, the other half is donning parkas and building snowmen.
Where's the Snow at?
 |
- Sierra Nevada Mountains: This is your go-to spot. Think Mammoth Lakes, Lake Tahoe, and the surrounding areas. These places are like winter wonderlands, but with better coffee shops.
- Sierra National Forest: If you're looking for a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, this is your jam. Less crowded, more pine trees.
- Ebbetts Pass: This one's a bit of a wildcard. It's closed in winter, but when it's open, it's a snowmobiler's paradise. Just make sure you check the weather first.
Tips for Surviving (and Enjoying) California Snowmobiling
- Dress in layers: You'll be alternating between feeling like an Eskimo and a desert nomad.
- Bring snacks: You'll burn calories faster than a Kardashian at a Krispy Kreme.
- Respect the snow: It's not just fluffy white stuff. It can be treacherous, so be careful.
- Hire a guide (if you're a newbie): They know where the good snow is, and more importantly, where the cliffs aren't.
How to...
- How to dress for snowmobiling? Layer up! Start with thermal base layers, add a fleece or sweater, and top it off with a waterproof jacket and snow pants.
- How to choose a snowmobile? Consider your experience level and the type of terrain you'll be riding. Rentals are usually available at resorts and outfitters.
- How to stay safe while snowmobiling? Always wear a helmet, avoid riding alone, let someone know your plans, and be aware of your surroundings.
- How to find snowmobile rentals? Most ski resorts and dedicated snowmobile outfitters offer rentals. Check online or call ahead to book.
- How to plan a snowmobiling trip? Research your destination, check weather conditions, pack accordingly, and book accommodations in advance.
So there you have it. Snowmobiling in California is possible, and it can be a thrilling experience. Just remember, even in the Golden State, winter can be a frosty beast.
