First snowboarding trip this season - 12/22/07 at Snow Summit, CA
Saturday I woke up at 5:45 and hit the road at 6:45 to drive to Big Bear where I was meeting Cheryl and her husband Eric for a morning of practice/warmup riding before my snowboarding trip to Whistler in a little under two weeks.
(here comes Cheryl)
We were pleasantly surprised by the conditions! They had made a bunch of snow and there was at least two feet of coverage on all the open runs. (Coloradans and others, please don’t mock us about our lack of snow here in the local mountains)

The temperature was like Goldilocks’ porridge - not too hot and not too cold, just right! Runs were a teeny bit icy in places but for the most part it was as good as it gets at Snow Summit. Plus, there were NO crowds… we think everybody was getting in a last day of Christmas shopping! What a pleasant surprise.
Bonus… we left before 1pm so we got the “Getaway voucher” for $19 off our next ticket. All in all, a great day at Snow Summit!

Just surfing the web and came across your site. Great! I work at Snow Summit and snowboard as much as i can. Work kind of gets in the ways most days. If ever you need and information about Summit let me know. mindy@snowsummit.com always nice to see other girls out on the slopes. You might think about doing the Roxy Snowboard Classic at Bear this year. It is all women and most of them it is the first time that they have tried a competition. PS! Great goodie bags Roxy gives to competetors.
