Ski Sunrise ski area, San Gabriel Mountains, California

Back in the old days when I lived in the area I used to ski here sometimes. It has a cozier feel than the bigger resorts nearby. says Chris.

Ski Sunrise has the greatest height difference among ski areas in a 46 mile radius. The 816 foot altitude difference is of course not that much to brag about, but Ski Sunrise compensates for it with other things. This ski mountain has an ok range of slopes and few lifts. The mind-boggling 12 feet of annual snowfall is one of the reasons this is such a great ski hill. Ski Sunrise

    receives snowfall close to the local average each ski season. Ski Sunrise is a small-size ski hill with a pretty cozy height difference when you compare it to other ski areas in the region. The snowboarding and the skiing in California is so much fun every day
of the season. This ski hill has 100 acres of skiing land, and all of it makes for great skiing. Nothing outshines the California summits in wintertime; they are a glorious place for skiing or snowboarding. This ski mountain has a much lower than average share of black and red trails and a much higher than average ratio of green and blue slopes. This ski area has 24 runs, and they are amusing to ski on. You may have to settle for a hotel a bit far away from the bottom of the hill if you want to spend the night, but

you'd better book prior to departure because these rooms fill up fast. The pretty beauty of the California mountains and the rush of speeding down a slope are in themselves reason enough to come here to ski. There are 4 great ski lifts here, and they are in good shape. Good exercise and just hanging out with your skiing pals are great reasons to come. The San Gabriel Mountains and its summits make for a glorious panorama.
