what is the closest ski resort to the ocean?
BoarderM710 asked:
I am wondering where there is a ski resort that is close to the coast. Is there any place there you can drive half an hour one way and snowboard and half an hour the other way and surf?

I’m guessing you’re asking about the west coast? There is a place called Mountain High Resort in southern California. It’s not very big as most of the southern California resorts aren’t. It’s about 1 to 1.5 hours from the ocean. There is also Mt. Baldy. So yes, you could do it, with no traffic. There are several other little resorts as well.
If you’re willing to surf in Oregon, there is a small resort near Eugene, which is just over an hour from the ocean.
In Washington… Mt. Baker is pretty close to the ocean, but it’s not open ocean, so no waves. Same goes for all the skiing in Vancouver, BC. There are 3 VERY small ski areas in Vancouver, so we are talking a 15 minute drive down the mountain to the ocean. But it’s not open ocean, and therefore, no surf.
I can’t speak to the East Coast. LightningBreaks
