Mt. High at Night

Tral Map

Mt. High's West Resort for night of shredding the slopes under the night sky. No experience required, as we will provide instruction and guidance to turn you into a pro. You can even show up naked (although we don't recommend it) as we provide the following gear free of charge: poly pro tops and bottoms, snowboard pants, snowboard jackets, gloves, beanies, and goggles. If you prefer to bring your own gear, make sure you have clothing that is both warm and water proof.

Snow Valley Snowboarding

Tral Map

Snow Valley is one of those hidden gems of the San Bernardino Mountains. Located between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear, Snow Valley offers an escape from the much busier slopes of Bear Mountain and Snow Summit but with just as much snow and features as those bigger resorts. We leave campus at 900pm for the short drive up the hill and an afternoon for snowboarding. This trip is perfect for both beginners who need a bit more instruction and those of us who think we are Shaun White and are ready for gnarly terrain park. We will eat dinner in Running Springs (bring money) on our way home. The plan is to return to campus around 700pm.

Mammoth Mountain Snowboarding

Tral Map

Mammoth Mountain is home to arguable the best skiing west of the Rocky Mountains. The area was hit with so much snow last year that many of the lifts heading up the mountain weren't't operating because they were buried under the deluge of snow. With that in mind, we couldn't't miss out on the opportunity to head north and find out for ourselves what the hubbub was about. We leave at the crack of dawn on Saturday for the scenic drive to Mammoth, stopping along the way for brunch in Bishop, before getting to the slopes in time for some afternoon powder. Once the sunset chases us off the slope, we are off to our hostel and a night of soaking in the hot tub (or bathtub filled with hot water... all it takes is a little imagination). We hit the slopes early Sunday morning (yea!), warm up with some hot chili at the lodge, and then pile back into the CSUSB Outdoor Mobile for the drive back to campus. A quick, but amazing trip. Note... participants are responsible for their own meals.
