***You MUST have basic ski/snowboard experience to be able to attend this trip, Ria and Daphne are dope and knowledgable people but we are not accredited ski instructors!!***

What makes California so sick compared to the other 49 lowly states of the U.S?!? Having the mountains and the ocean so close to each other you could surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon of the same day!! Come with us as we depart 9am on Saturday to Bolsa Chica Beach in Huntington, CA (40 minutes from campus) and learn to surf on some very user-friendly waves. We’ll hang out on the beach while everyone tries their hand at the surf, eat some lunch, and then drive ~2hrs to Mountain High Valley Resort in Angeles National Forest. We’ll get set up with ski rentals (skis, boots, helmet, and poles included) and then get ready to hit the lifts for NIGHT SKIING on the mountain under the lights from 5pm to 10pm. This is going to be a full and tiring day y’all, and one to talk about for years to come.
