Location, Location, Location…
It might be a cold time of year, but California is never that cold to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Kern County has one Ski/Snowboard site named Alta Sierra formerly Shirley Meadows. The great joy of this place is the location close to proximity to Bakersfield. 👍
Sunday we made the 85 minute journey up there , March is a great time of year to take the drive, the weather is warming the grass is growing and the trip up through the Kern River Canyon is spectacular journey. 👍👍
Everyone loves the Snow – at least for a while
Everyone that finally made the journey was excited to go play in this once a year (locally) phenomena when moisture from the clouds turn heavy and drop water that turns to snow due to the temperature.
Baylee and her friend Caylee took the time to enjoy the snow and use there abilities to ride a board down the slippery slopes of Alta Sierra
The only negative on Skiing or snowboarding was the cost associated with this sport. Cost to ride the slopes, and if you don’t have equipment like skis, a snowboard, boots, poles you need to rent and it all adds up. When you mentally get pass the cost factor, it will be one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities you can do. The beautiful mountain scenery, the clear crisp air and the excitement of all those young and old enjoying while smiling is a great experience. ❄️ 😁
* Cost of slope pass and rentals $80 , 1/2 day pass $70 (Big ski areas is twice this)
The Great Outdoors
Baylee, Caylee and I had a great time, it showed because we stayed until they shutdown the lifts (around 4pm) and excitingly refueled at famous Kern River Brewing and Restaurant , That’s a experience in it self . One thing we learned is we will be back and want to make it up to other California Ski/Snowboard parks soon
We enjoyed the great outdoors even when the temperatures drop and the fun never stops
let it roll …
