Beach kids have snow days through Angels program

Whether you’re a young pro looking for a ride to the mountains or a beginner looking for some lessons, Newport Beach’s Blue Angels Youth Ski and Snowboard Program gives kids a chance to enjoy the too-short snow season.

Starting Saturday, boys and girls ages 7 to 16 have a chance to visit Mountain High Resort and hit the slopes. For five Saturdays, Jan. 26, Feb. 2, Feb. 9, Feb. 23 and March 1, kids can take a luxury bus to Mountain High and get five days of professional ski or snowboarding coaching, a ProTec snow helmet, lunch and a Billabong sponsor bag.

Program enrollment is $749. The bus will pick up the kids at 6:15 a.m. Saturdays at Starbucks, 2700 W. Coast Hwy. in Newport Beach.

For more information, call the Blue Angels at (858) 509-8926 or go to www.BlueAngelSnow.com.
