All of the surf breaks are a three-hour or less drive from the mountain. Of course, it will be longer if you hit the infamous LA traffic. Some of the best spots to hit include El Porto (Manhattan Beach), Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Ocean Park, Venice Beach, Sunset Point Beach, Topanga Beach, Surfrider Beach, Zuma Beach, Leo Carrillo, and County Line. To make it more enticing, wintertime is the best time to surf in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_245791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-245791\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-245791 size-full lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAFoAQMAAAD9\/NgSAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAADJJREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T+3sARQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN3HoAAEwzlS7AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"Manhattan beach, CA, Ski and surf same day\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C338&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"360\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-245791 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/dez-hester-Manhattan-Beach-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Manhattan beach, CA, Ski and surf same day\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-245791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Manhattan Beach. | Photo: Dez Hester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Cape Breton Island, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Ski Resort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capesmokey.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cape Smokey<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>A quaint, picturesque ski resort consisting of one gondola, one ski lift, and 15 ski runs.<\/strong> The views at the top of the 320-meter (754.6-foot) mountain are hard to beat.

meters (10,721.8 feet).<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> On this massive mountain, the small resort features seven ski lifts to carry you to its 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of skiable terrain. It is noteworthy to remember you are skiing in Africa, meaning you won\u2019t have the fluffy powdery snow you could get on a European vacation. There will be a mix of conditions and similarities to off-piste skiing; however, it will be less crowded and an unforgettable cultural experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_245798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-245798\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245798 lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAGsAQMAAAB3hYSwAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAADhJREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20KP6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADga4dsAAF0zHvyAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"Atlas mountains\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C428&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C802&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1027&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1369&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C401&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"428\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-245798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/med-eddarami-atlas-mountains-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C428&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Atlas mountains\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-245798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Atlas Mountains in Morocco. | Photo: Med Eddarami<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Surf Break:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Essaouira<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>After skiing at Ouka\u00efmeden, you can hop in the car and travel just over four hours to reach this surf break, leaving plenty of time for a sunset session. <\/strong>Essaouira is nicknamed the windy city and is dominated by kitesurfers in the summer.
