We Got Our "Snow Fix" This Week

As we sit in our lawn chairs in the Desert Hot Springs area, we have a wonderful view of the mountains... and atop those mountains, in the San Bernardino National Forest, is white stuff. So, one day this week, we decided to take a drive into the snow - just to see what it was like, you know.


We visited Bear Mountain and the ski resort there. A strange, but true, fact is that we have visited three major ski areas in the last 4 months - Big Sky in Montana, Mammoth in northern California and now Big Bear. One would almost think we skied...


Anyway, it was a beautiful drive and it was fun to see snow and to stand in it in short sleeves and sandals; it was 45 the day we were there. It was equally as fun to leave the snow behind and head back to the desert warmth (although the temps have only been in the high 60s the last couple of days). The day did give me an opportunity to take a few pictures.
