We always try to get there annually, and we always take lessons at the beginning of the season as a refresher course. My kids always have a blast! Mountain High is where Southern Californians learn to ski and snowboard. Even international snowboarding superstars … READ MORE >>

SeaWorld San Diego – ‘O Wonderous Night’ Performances

The thirty minute show is narrated by storytelling puppet animals who all claim they are responsible for the birth of Jesus.
