Winter is challenging this year with several major storms hitting the country, but you can still enjoy your weekends. Alhambra has many interesting activities you can do whether you’re willing to brave the cold weather or prefer to stay indoors. If you are looking for something fun to do, then here are three winter activities near Alhambra.
Mount Waterman
Skiing is a major part of winter in and around Alhambra. One of the first places that people turn to is Mount Waterman, a major ski resort. Mount Waterman has 25 skiing areas with a mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs. It is the closest ski lift to the Los Angeles area.
If you don’t know much about skiing, there are instructors on site that can help you learn for your first run. Mount Waterman has several ski lifts that can get you up the mountain. Since all of the facilities are on the top of the mountain, you can take the scenic ski lift up to the facilities and ride back down just to see the sites if you want.
Whispering Pines Cottage
Winter can be a great time to go on a romantic couples vacation. If you need to get away for awhile, then you can go stay at the Whispering Pines Cottage. It is a nice little cottage in the mountains that maintains an old-world charm. You can cuddle up by the fire with a glass of wine or just spend some time alone in your room. The cottage is within traveling distance of many of the area’s leading attractions in the area. You can also go hiking on the forest trails when the weather is mild.
Mountain High Snowboarding Lessons
Getting out on the slopes is tricky if you don’t have the skills to do it safely. Fortunately, you can go to Mountain High Snowboarding Lessons. Mountain High has a resort where you can take skiing and snowboarding lessons. The resort is always packed, so there are always instructors starting new lessons for beginners.
Even if you have some experience, you can take a refresher course or take more advanced lessons to upgrade your skills. If you have kids that want to learn skiing or snowboarding, you can get them lessons there as well. Group lessons are available, and Mountain High has special training areas for kids with man-made snow and terrain. The groups are relatively small, usually capping at eight or ten people based on the needs of the group.
Winter can be exhausting if you stay inside the whole time. Even in the cold, there are plenty of things you can do to have fun. If you are planning on visiting snowier areas, you’ll need a vehicle that can keep you warm and handle inclement weather. Bravo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has a lots of new and used vehicles that will help you drive on slippery roads and get home safely. Stop by and take one out for a test drive.
