    The best! Endless corduroy. Chest deep powder and a vastness that will take days to explore. The secret weapon is the altitude keeping everything cool and the location’s ability to hold snow.

    Great ski school for kids. Reserve everything at leafs days in advance to save time. Rental lines are long without advanced reservations.

    Great place to demo gear. Footloose, a very well-stocked ski shop in the village, even lets you try out boots. Best to do so before Christmas as popular sizes don't stick around long.

    It’s all about getting over to chair 23 early in the morning and having the mountain to yourself with incredible views.

    Bring everything that you need with you as there is not too much here to buy when you discover that you now need it, unless it has to do with skiing or snow boarding.

    Not all people from LA are Douches. I love riding this place in the summer and yes agreed many people are A holes but you get that anywhere you go.

    If you don’t want to run into any kids on the slopes hit the upper mountain but make sure you can handle advanced runs

    Go to the backside early, there's rarely a wait for chair 13 and 14 before 10am.

    Arguably the best winter playground in entire state of CA! If you want almost endless runs to play with, go to Mammoth.

    The gondola from town to the mountain and free shuttle are nice.

    Great fitness walk up the Chair 15 dirt road. Not much to look at, but better than a gym, for sure.

    Lindsey Vonn was the first American women to win an Olympic gold medal in downhill. And she did that with a severely bruised shin… Come watch her and American rival Julia Mancuso compete on Universal

    Love that no one tried to deny the "crappy attitude" allegations, they just point out that they spend money. You can't buy your way out of being a douchebag. Try being good humans! Everyday =]
