All seminars are dependent on the weather during the winter months, and in the forest winter can run up and through May. Last year and the year before it snowed in May. If you drive up the mountain you must have chains or your will run the risk of a ticket from the CHP. If you want to plan a visit during the snow season in order to combine a ski vacation with your writing retreat, let me know and I can arrange a fabulous cabin or resort hotel room in and around Lake Arrowhead and the ski slopes at a discounted price. Plan early enough that we can find rooms since this area is a popular winter playground for thousands of snow-loving people.
