Alright guys I wanted to try to get about 6 people together for a SO CAL only trip. What this means is this
6am Surf Session
8am Skate Session
9 holes of golf
Afternoon Castaic trip
Night boarding at Mt High...
Only in so cal can we do all of these sports in 1 day and I thought we should do a WW trip. What do you all think?

if I still surfed or skated, I would be down. oh yeah, I dont snowboard either. dammit! where were you ten years ago?
however, I could be down regardless. would be good to get together with some of the SoCal people, and I could get back into some of those old sports I used to do. let me know what happens.

That is not impossible. You'd need some coordination, but doable. Not sure I'd want to, though. I am going to do Santa Cruz surf and Tahoe wake and snow one of these days. Just need the right day.

You're probably right Joe although Castaic to the beach isn't exactly around the block and I know those ski resorts down there are a ways away too.
No time for beer in that schedule though!

1 hour from the closest "rideable" beach to castaic. about 35 mintues from castaic to mt high if you hit no traffic and drive 95 all the way. but gauranteed youll hit major traffic goin that way in the evening.so its really more like an hour and 15. i used to make it from thousand oaks to mt high in an hour back when i was in highschool. we would ditch school at about noon or 1 and bomb up there and ride all evening.
id say its just about as doable up here in norcal as it is in socal.

You can do all but surf part in Bend OR. Had a group a few years ago that did the triple, snowboard, wakeboard & golf (18 holes) and we were wiped by the end of that day.

Is there any snow down there? I just noticed on the news that LA is 20% of normal rainfall. Tahoe actually got pretty decent with that last storm we had.

Dude, ever been to Utah?
Sundance Ski resort 15 minutes up the canyon, some resorts (Snowbird, Alta, Brighton) have been open till July 4th before. Utah lake is right down center street.
Alot of times we go snowmobiling Friday night and Saturday morning at the cabin then come down and take a ride on the lake. Also plenty of golf courses around if you wanted to. Or go rock climbing, Dirt bikes. 4x4 etc. Way more stuff, much closer here.
If only the winters weren't so fricken long here it would be paradise........That said the ice on the lake may be melting but it's still 12" thick.

yea rich, bear invested like 6 mil into their snow making equipment, coupled with a few feet of snow the last half of feb, they are sitting pretty. i cruise up twice a week or so and the park is sick as always.
But, mammoth is where it is at for sure. try to get up once a month, but, funds are limited as a student and gas kills, even if the couch i stay on is free!

I was riding in Big Bear last weekend, they got plenty of snow to roll.
-You could surf at Salt Creek from 6-7:45am.
-You could play "9" at San Juan Cap course 8-10:30am.
-You could ride Elsi from 11:30-2pm
-You could skate at Elsi's skatepark from 2:15-3pm
-You could then drive up the hill for night riding at Mt. High or Big Bear.
-It's 100% doable too, based upon planning ahead and knowing the way. A Hummer limo is also in need as well. You would need to rest, eat, etc, between the stops. Then again, that's just me.....

Top of Mammoth is like alot of the resorts in Colorado that I've skiied - much higher elevation on average then Tahoe and generally dryer air thus snow (again on average) stays in better shape. Not saying Tahoe can't be great, (Squaw has been awesome this last week) it's just at a disadvantage overall. You can ski the top at Mammoth late spring and the snow will still be pretty good while Tahoe will be mush.

The man makes some good points--hard to argue there. The snow is definitely lighter in Colorado, although I like the terrain and scene in Tahoe better. I'm probably biased having grown up skiing there and working there for a bit, though.
Tahoe is a warm place in the spring, but at the same time, it's hard to argue on snowfall. Sugarbowl and Kirkwood average around 500in. a year whereas the major CO mountains do about 300-350. Plus, the tahoe snow builds character. If you can get gnar in the "sierra cement", then everything else is pretty easy.
But back to your so-cal thing, sounds like fun and I'd give it a go (except golf) if I were down there. Trying to do all that in a day is tiring, so I wouldn't want anything like golf to slow me down.
