Snow Day in Calabasas California

By

Snow2Get your sled and head on over to Gates Canyon Park in Calabasas this Sunday December 2.  Calabasas is having their annual Snow, Snow, Snow Day.  I'll never forget the first time I saw kids playing in the snow in their tee shirts, shorts and gloves.  Calabasas has tons of snow trucked in for this event.  They spread the snow on a huge hill and everyone has a blast sled riding until it melts.  If you've never seen this you have to check it out, it's really a sight.  Something about snow and palm trees in the same picture is very surreal.

Admission is only $5.00 per child, two to twelve years old.  Children under two are free.  The event runs from 11:00-1:30.  There are also refreshments, pictures with Santa and arts and crafts.  Be sure to bring an inner tube, sled or saucer.  If you don't own a sled, you can use a metal baking tray.  They work great and are extra slippery when they get cold.  I've also seen people use their pool toys and plastic garbage can lids.  The weather forecast for Sunday is sunny and 64 so the snow won't melt too fast.

Get that Thermos of hot chocolate ready and I'll see you there.  Be sure to take your camera, the folks back East really get a kick out of this stuff.

Take the 101 to the Las Virgenes Road Exit.  The address to Gates Canyon Park is 25801 Thousand Oaks Blvd., Calabasas.  Here is the map link.  Here is the park link.  This is really fun if you have little ones.  I suggest you bring some extra clothes and a towel.  It can get muddy towards the end.
