Skiing in California is not unheard of but doing so in Orange County is another thing.
According to ABC 7, Spencer Buchanan found a place this week to go skiing with his friends on Saddleback Mountain, which is known to have the highest peak in Orange County. Luckily this week a storm moved through the area and brought in some snow. That's when Buchanan and his friends were able to hike high enough to find just enough of snow to ski in and they caught some amazing views as well!
"It gets snow like once a year and the snow only last for a couple hours, so we had to time it right," said Buchanan. "It says it'll rain but it was going to be cold enough. So we drove up, I guess it was Sunday night, and then camped up there, had a miserable night, slept about an hour or two in a van."
The guys didn't ski too far but the fact that they are able to say they did so in the O.C. is enough for them. Buchanan and his friends did say that they "do not recommend it to anyone who does not have any hiking experience" because the hike was not an easy one. Honestly that's a pretty dope experience and memory to say that you were able to hike in Orange County! Click here for more.
