To welcome in the new year, I choose to stay at Lake Arrowhead.
About 1.5 hours driving from LAX there is a beautiful snowy lake.
The day was very warm like 70 degrees but there was still a little snow around the lake.
The drive to the lake was clear and it had a gorgeous view.
I stayed at a fantastic lodge "Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa" for 2 nights.
This is dog and kid friendly hotel!
There is a comfortable game room that includes air hockey, foosball and wii games all free!
The resort has 2 outside jacuzzis with a lake view. It is nice to have a hot tub in the winter season!27984 Hwy 189

I had a fancy breakfast at "BIN189" in the hotel.
My Norwegian smoked salmon was delicious and our server was very professional.

My biggest purpose here was snowboarding at "Snow Valley Mountain Resort" which is about 25 minutes driving from the lake.
I was here for December 31 and there wasn't any crowd. I could practice at the park without rushing and there was no wait for the lift.
It was a perfect hot day to enjoy a beer in a snowy paradise.

Right next to the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, there is Lake Arrowhead Village that has about 10 restaurants, a large supermarket, and many gift stores.
I wanted to have a warm delicious dinner on this cold winter night so I chose "California Thai Cuisine".
I loved their coconut soup and pineapple fried rice.

The first day of 2012 was more beautiful than ever.
I 'm feeling great to start a new year here.
