Close to LA, well equipped.
Pros: Close to home, Well equipped. Long season with snowmaking. No long lines for chairlifts. Great for beginners: free magic carpet and occasionally a beginner chairlift, lots of lesson options, there is a team for seriously skiing kids led by volunteers. Ski in/out right from the main parking lot. Cons: Deadlock traffic on the road during peak holidays, Not enough snowmaking (hoping for improvement!) to keep East resort open at dry winters. Not that much terrain.
