Local Snow

This is definitely my winter for snow. This weekend I headed up to the local San Bernardino mountains with my buddy Alex. I had Friday off so we hit up Mountain High with some coworkers from Public Works.  This was my first time at Mountain High and will most likely be my last. It is hard to call the place fun when the runs are so small that it takes less than 2 minutes to board down from the highest peak. It only took 3 hours for Alex and I to get board so we left to find more entertainment in the towns of Wrightwood and Victorville. 

Another winter storm started to hit around sunset in Victorville and kicked up strong winds and ominous looking clouds. Alex and I decided it would be fun to ride the storm out in Big Bear and then hopefully hit some good snow conditions in the morning.  After a fun night of partying in town we awoke to 3 feet of fresh powder. The snow was deep enough to close the main highway into town leaving the fresh powder for the few who were already on the mountain.  After digging out my car, we boarded all day at Big Bear.
