I was hoping to pick up areas where I have never skied. I tried to ski at MH once, because all roads to BB were closed (so you know it had to be a good day), No, it probably meant snow/mudslides over the roads. but the traffic was stopped on 138 right after I crossed the railroad tracks. You've never been there? *Why not try Baldy instead, assuming there's enough natural snow. The best day of MH skiing I ever had was during a Santa Ana when there were truck warnings through the Cajon Pass. *Nobody was there AND the wind doesn't extend into Wrightwood. *Peaceful, empty, no slush, no wind. *An actual GOOD day. Odds are against there being another one, especially at a convenient time.. -- Cheers, Bev * Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the straps. You're so optimistic. |
