When Southern California’s mountains have snow like they did this second week in March, I can’t tell you how many locals head to Big Bear ski resorts for weekend snowboarding and skiing. It’s gaining traction with Southern Californians who feel L.A. basin weather heating up.<\/p>\n
Also gaining traction is the launch of the Lucas Off Road Racing Series this weekend at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino. On March 16, 2019, cars go flying through the air along a dirt race track that looks like Red Planet landscapes.<\/p>\n
While many celebrate the Luck ‘o the Irish this St. Patrick’s Day, there are diverse festivals and events gaining traction as this rip-roaring weekend heads our way!<\/p>\n
