There is a reason why I call home a Playground. Los Angeles may not be the most outdoorsy city in the West coast but we can get to wonderful places in less than two hours.


For 3 hours we glided through the pines and experienced the peace and serenity of winter in the mountains. The pines were heavy with fresh snow but the weather was warm with perfect sunny blue skies. We enjoyed the uncrowned beauty of groomed cross-country ski trails and had a fantastic workout. The trails are not all flat and easy so we had to get good quickly at skiing uphill. 

We loved the experience so much that we are no planning on buying our own skis and boots. Rentals are available but the skis were a bit old but good enough at $15 Dollars per adult, including the poles.
