From where in LA though? Robrt and myself would be coming from the 5 @
Burbank ...

I have ridden the slopes at SS and Mt. High both, and SS is probably the
nicer park. It's not much farther, either. (IIRC SS has the west side of
Arrowhead, and Big Bear the east, or something like that. Which would account
for SS being closer.)

snow blading, personally. I have my own set. :) It's like inline street/vert
skating, on snow. Very cool. Resemble two miniature snowboards, one on each
foot. http://www.skiboards.com for more info.
