If summer is surfseason in California, then winter must be ski, snowboard, kayak, scuba, golf, food festival and ballet season. Oh, and thanks to the invention of the wetsuit, winter in California is surf season too. e truth is, when winter comes to the Golden State, it means fun for everyone. is golden bear doesn’t hibernate, so grab your sense of adventure and catch the spirit of a place where winter is a whisper,the sunshine never stops, and you wake up every morning knowing that something amazing is bound to happen, again. While the rest of humanity is curled up against the cold, California heads outdoors for desert dune buggy adventures, sea kayaking and scuba diving, and tee times at some of the world’s most epic courses. And don’t forget the sunshine-soaked, powdercoated mountainsides of Mammoth andTahoe. Can’t decide? You don’t have to. In California you can surf in the morning and ski by lunch. Art and culture also shine during the cooler months. ‘Tis the season for the world renowned San Francisco Ballet and the Los Angeles Philharmonic (under amboyant new music director Gustavo Dudamel). And the culinary arts take center stage in January during California Restaurant Month, when statewidecelebrations of dining out showcase specially priced tasting menus at favorite eateries in every major city.
