SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE SHAKEOUT!!! Today.


Today, November 13, 2008, the Earthquake Country Alliance has organized the Great Southern California Shakeout, a massive earthquake drill--7.5 magnitude--at 10 AM. THIS IS ONLY A DRILL! Below is a list of things you can do and things you should have on hard, in case...


  • If you're INDOORS when it hits, Drop, Cover, and Hold On!

  • If you're OUTDOORS when it hits, Move to a clear area if you can safely do so.

  • If you're DRIVING when it hits, pull over to the side, stop and set your parking brake.

  • AVOID overpasses, bridges and power-lines.

  • Have on hand: Water, food, blankets, clothing, flashlights, batteries, radio--for SEVERAL days or WEEKS.

  • Have emergency items in your car

  • Prepare your home: secure furniture, electronics, wall hangings, ANYTHING that could fall

  • Know where your gas shut off is and HOW to SHUT IT OFF

Those are just a teeny-tiny list of things WE should DO. For more information on this event TODAY and HOW-TO be prepared, click on THE SHAKEOUT.

SKI SLOPES & RESORTS IN OUR CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS



Just like everything else here in Southern California, we are close to SKI SLOPES & resorts! Really, how many other states can you hop in your car and within few minutes, or a few hours, arrive at the desert, the beach, the valley or in the mountains? NOT MANY!

SNOW VALLEY, in Running Springs--San Bernardino Mountains--is about 30 minutes from Lake Arrowhead. Snow Valley has some gentle runs (in my opinion) and it's a great place to take the entire family. From their link (above), you can access snow reports, buy tickets, get a terrain report and tons, tons more! Snow Valley tries to open every year around Thanksgiving. Read about opening times right here. Map & Directions


There's some interesting history about SNOW SUMMIT, in Big Bear, that you may not know; A sportsman named Tommi Tyndall, along with his wife and other investors, are responsible for this ski area and for the installation of the FIRST chair lift in the nation! Snow Summit is about 90 minutes from Los Angeles, gets quite a bit more snow than Snow Valley and has more "strenuous" runs. Find out everything this wonderful ski area has to offer at Snow Summit stats. Map & Directions


If you want to get out of Dodge and head up north, then you may want to consider MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN. With over 400" of snowfall annually, and thousands of acres of terrain to ski, sometimes Mammoth will have snow when no other ski resort do. Located off Hwy 395, it is quite a drive...but most people say it's well worth it. Map & Directions
