Buckhorn Ski and Snowboard Club                                                                                         

The Club is a backcountry/off trail resort for downhill skiers, snowboarders, and cross-country skiers. Our dwelling is a frozen in time 1950's ski lodge that's run along the lines of a co-op. The lodge is a two story rustic hut that sleeps up to 40 people with full kitchen facilities. Buckhorn has a gripper tow that gives you access to over 40 acres. Low cost memberships are available. Once members learn the open & close up procedure, they have year round use of the lodge. We have pool parties, beach parties, canoe trips on the Colorado River, hikes to a 60' Kodak moment waterfall, low cost trips to Mammoth, a yearly weeklong trip to a ski resort out of state, and whitewater rafting on the Kern River. The rafting equipment is supplied by members, so members only pay for camping and meals (contact us for more details). To try out our resort costs $10 per adult and $5 per child, and you must sign a waiver of liability. This cost includes your lodging & lift-ticket.

  What's Happening

Holiday Party December 10th: This year's holiday party will again be hosted by Paula and Allen B. in Huntington Beach. Happy hour starting at 5:30, followed by dinner and White Elephant Gift Exchange.

2012 Week Trip to Vail: Vail, Colorado is the destination for February 11-18, 2012.

Buckhorn Ski Video - Here’s a little Buckhorn video that my son Sören and his friend Patrick put together from our last visit: Buckhorn_Ski_Video - Tim W.

2012 Mammoth - Buckhorn 2012 Mammoth trips are January 6-8, 2012 and April 27-29, 2012. Same price $70. p/person for weekend. Mammoth spent $20.M this year in improvements with a new high speed Quad. Flights now from LA and OC. The condo sleeps 13 people and has 3 bathrooms. The bus stops at the condo and takes you to the mountain - you don't have to use your car to get to the ski area. Also, you are 2 blocks from several restaurants and the Von's Grocery Market.

Mountain Topkoverfest - was a resounding success. Great food, beer and company! The weather was perfect. We had about 25 people enjoy a terrific time. Winning Beer: Huntington Beach Brewery.


Buckhorn Mountain Topkoverfest


Professional Disk Golf Course - Professional Disk Golf Course now set up at Buckhorn thanks to Rich G. It’s like golf – you tee off from the marked box, then throw the disk again from where it lands, etc., ultimately to hit the target post with the fewest shots. There will be tournaments, with the winner’s name engraved on a perpetual trophy, a mahogany disc, that will remain onsite.


Powder and Smiles!

  More on Buckhorn

Do you like to ski, snowboard, water ski, cross-country ski, hike, canoe, or do other outdoor events? Would you appreciate free passes and discounted prices for all of the above activities? Would the use of a cabin in the mountains, big enough for a family or group (it sleeps 40) appeal to you? Would you enjoy the company of other fun families and singles for snow ski trips, ski programs, bike rides, water ski trips, and parties?

If you answered YES to any these questions, the Buckhorn Ski/Snowboard Club is for you! We are a non-profit group of enthusiastic families and singles from Southern California who operate our own ski area in the San Gaberial Mountains high above Los Angeles and Orange Counties.


Carl N. at Buckhorn

Our members pay nominal yearly dues and receive unlimited lodge use and special skiing discounts. By acting as a group and working together we are able to enjoy many extra activities at minimal expense! We want to expand our actvities, so we invite you to grow with us! We are sure that you will agree that the above benefits, for both winter and summer, are too good to miss! As a member, you can enjoy the privileges of our lodge and ski area, the use of free equipment for cross-country skiing, our own Bunny-Slope for kids and beginners, yearly trips to famous ski areas (Colorado, Canada, and France have all been past destinations), monthly weekend trips to Mammoth, and seasonal events and parties.

Directions to the Lodge
Travel north on the 5 freeway. You will pass the junction of the 5, 101, and 10 freeways, but stay on the 5. Next you will pass the Harbor freeway 110. At this point, start looking for Route 2 to La Canada. Go north on the 2, which eventually goes to an off ramp. Turn left onto the Angeles Crest Highway. The Lodge is about 37 miles from this point. When you pass the Newcomb Ranch restaurant/bar you have about 7.6 miles to go. Next, watch for the sign marking Cloud Burst Summit, elevation 7018 feet and you'll be 1.3 miles away. Start looking for the Buckhorn Campground sign. At this point, you're ¼ mile away. Now look for the Buckhorn Ski Club sign on your right. If it's summer, drive through the gate. If there's a fair amount of snow on the ground, park across the street in the parking strip. REMEMBER WE'RE BETWEEN WATERMAN & SNOWCREST SKI RESORTS. Just some more help: Look at the small white highway signs, placed every couple of hundred feet on both sides of the road-- the ones with the little reflectors. The Lodge is just past the 58.33 mile marker. If you get to any sign higher than 58.45 you have passed it. If you're coming from the Riverside area, please note that the road from Mountain High is closed when the snow gets too deep.
