What are the details for the Ski/Snowboard option?

Plan on an awesome Saturday afternoon option of snowboarding or skiing at beautiful Snow Valley. Located only 10 minutes from Pondo, Snow Valley is one of the premier snowboard and ski resorts in Southern California. Charter bus transportation and a great sack lunch will be provided by Ponderosa Pines. And if your not an avid snowboarder or skier, you can still go along for the ride and enjoy the scenery at Snow Valley. Better yet, why not give it a try – lessons for all levels of experience are available. Either way, it will be an unforgettable experience! Check out Snow Valley online at www.snow-valley.com.

Who is in my Cabin?

We try and keep everyone in their Wednesday Night Small Groups for cabin assignments. Sometimes the number of beds in a room require us to make changes, but we keep pairs together so everyone is with someone they know. On the Registration Form there's a spot for putting a name of a friend you want to be with.

Ponderosa Pines website is www.pondo.org and has additional information.
