When I was a child, I only went to the snow in Big Bear twice in sixteen years. I understand now that my parents were not fond of the cold, nor winter sports. But as Big Bear is so close to LA, and such a magical world away from city life, it is one of my new goals to bring as many children up to see the snow as possible each season. Here is a video of the local snow after a big storm. And can we say.....thank heavens for the new trend of sledding with helmets!
