Mild Winter for Snowboarding
Blame it on global warming, the San Bernardino mountain is lacking natural snow this time of season. The natural snow is being delayed for few more weeks and the mountain resorts are producing enough snow to last a few days. The upside to this is that the lift tickets are lot lower than the holiday rates, and you should be able to snowboard on descent amount of snow if you get there early. The downside is that you may see sparks from all the scraping your board will get from the ground rocks (it could get ugly), few lifts open, and hard snow.
I am itching to go up this year and attempt a mini jump. Would love to see high feet of both natural and man-made snow on a bright and sunny day!
