From goSki.com: Afton Alps, MN, vertical drop is 351 ft and no peak listed. Big Bear Mountain, CA, vertical drop is 1200 ft and the tallest peak is 8200 ft. Big Bear doesn't excite many people around here but when you go from the treacherous 351 ft mountains of Minnesota to 8200 ft terrain in California it's pretty exciting! Also, they don't have thai restaurants at the bottom of any ski places in Minnesota. We ate at Pong's...which looked like it could've been a questionable choice based on the kitsch of their signage but it was good! The picturesque drive up to Big Bear was worth the trip alone. The return trip in traffic would be an excellent test for Newlyweds...it also makes you want to not go more than once a year.
