California Resorts
California ski resorts range from that big mountain feel to a small local atmosphere. Heavenly is one of the world's largest ski resorts set on Tahoe Lake's south shore with spectacular views. Mammoth has about 300 days of sunshine so sunscreen is part of your ski gear. Even with all that sunshine Mammoth has an average of 400 inches of snowfall plus with it's peak at 11,053 feet it's the highest summit elevation in the state. 5 resorts are ranked near the top of Transworld Snowboarder's Guide for best parks and pipes.
