Your Guide to SoCal’s Best Ski Month Starts Now

🎿 February's Ski Fire Is Officially Lit 🔥
Snow or no snow, the stoke is real in SoCal this month.

Hey Ski Fam,

Let’s not overthink it.

Your legs are ready.
Your skis are waxed.
And February? It's coming in hot (well, cold 🧊).

Even with a slow start to the season, February is shaping up to be one of our best shots yet for real turns, real snow, and real fun.

🎯 FEBRUARY GAMEPLAN: SKI SMART, RIDE STRONG

We’ve got:

✔️ Cold air
✔️ Two storm cycles in the forecast
✔️ One three-day weekend
✔️ And the most packed events calendar of the season

Here’s your insider guide ⬇️

🏔️ Mammoth Mountain (Main Stage Madness)

🎿 Feb 1–2: Freestyle Ski & Snowboard Camp
Progress your park skills—even if you’re more “side hit” than “X-Games.”
👉 Details here

🌕 Feb 9–11: Full Moon Snowshoe Tours
Bring a date. Or your dog. Or your sore quads.
👉 Night stroll info

💘 Feb 14–16: Valentine’s Weekend on Snow
Think après, DJs, and maybe even a mountain proposal if you’re wild like that.
👉 V-Day party lineup

🇺🇸 Feb 14–17: President’s Day Weekend = Peak Season
This is the BIG one—snow, crowds, long lines, and extended stoke.
Come early. Park smart. Stretch your patience muscle.
👉 Tip: Thursday night or Friday morning = smoother arrival

🏁 Feb 21–23: JLA Banked Slalom
This isn’t just a race. It’s a legacy. One of Mammoth’s most soulful weekends.
👉 Ride with legends

🐻 Big Bear is Bringing It

🧤 Feb 2 – USASA Halfpipe
Local shredders taking flight. Bring the cowbells.
👉 Event info

🏈 Feb 9 – Super Sunday at Method’s Sports Bar
Because skiing + wings + football is a sacred combo.

🌨️ Snow Watch: February Forecast

📍 Mammoth: Base ~62" at mid-mountain
✅ Cold enough for snowmaking
🌀 Storm potential Feb 5–7 and again Feb 15–20 (perfectly timed for President’s Day)
💡 Pro tip: Friday morning = best conditions

📍 Big Bear / Summit: Spring-like vibes, early laps best
📍 Mountain High: Still limited, check cams before rolling

🧰 Sasha’s Tips for a February to Remember

✔ Pack for all temps
Layer it up—sun at base, freeze at summit
✔ Book those Friday–Sunday weekends now
Presidents’ Day will book fast—don't get stuck in base lodge envy
✔ Don’t skip après
Canyon Lodge is bringing DJ heat every Friday + Saturday
✔ Leave earlier than you think
Holiday traffic + chain control = vibes killer if you time it wrong

February’s the moment. Show up, tune in, ski out.

Repeat after me:
⛷️ “Ride the cold. Skip the crowd. Chase the good snow.”
