Replying to Where do you live and...

how far are you from the mountains? my family is moving to OC/ newport area  from cleveland ohio and i want to get some info from those of you who live around that area. how often do you get to ski? how do you like it? and do you like living in cali?

 im asking because i might end up staying in ohio and finishing up college since were keeping our house here, so ill have a place all to myself. or ill just end up moving and finishing up school somewhere in cali. im stuck in a pickle
