Mountain High 11/22/2010

First day up on the mountain at Mountain High, Wrightwood, California. Mt. High is located about 70 miles from Disneyland. A few lift lines had opened last week, but the first real good storm had just hit this past weekend.


Pre ride snack... Welch's Grape Soda and Cheetos...


Absolutely beautiful weather...


The snow was pretty fluffy for Mt. High... Nicest conditions I have ever been on at the mountain. Real cherry day.

I spent a lot of time carving and just getting my legs back. It was cold so wear plenty of layers. They had about 5 jumps, a box and a rainbow box. The blowers hit pretty hard at the bottom of the mountain so I would suggest just stay near the top if you can.




Santa was there. Posting up...


Next time (tomorrow) I promise to get more picks of the terrain. Sorry for missing out on that...


Keep checking out the site for more updates on your local mountains in Southern California...

Food in the OC x GIMBIC = extra lbs.

What have I been up to? Eating.

I just want to give you a quick recap of what foodtography I had saved up on my cell phone. Picture quality is crappy. My deepest apologies.



Niberino's Meatball Sandwich in Anaheim is worthy of its own post, and it might receive one eventually, but for now I needed to expose you to this gem.

Looks like your typical liquor store on Ball and Sunkist on the border of Orange and Anaheim. Walk in, make a right to the back and order a Meatball Sub. Thank me later.



Super Teriyaki Bowl on State College and Ball. One block down from Nib's stands an odd looking building that serves up delicious chicken bowls. Good textures with the crunchy cabbage on top. Top notch service.



Who's that? Leonardo. Gumball eyeballs always take it to the next level for me.





Two Brother Pizza on Warner and Goldenwest in Huntington Beach. I rarely order cheese pizza, but they make theirs so good. It is almost like their tables and plates match their slice. You gotta coordinate... (Boomerang reference)



That looks like a Club Sandwich with friend zucchinis on the side. Has to be Hot Off the Grill in HB on Bolsa Chica and Heil. It's hard to find good zuchinni strips anywhere, but Hot Off the Grill's will make you do backflips. Also have to try their pastrami sando.

Don't forget... it's snowboarding season. Here's a shot from last year of Mount Baldy.



Have a great winter...
