Snow sledding in Palm Springs, am I kidding? No. We rode the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up to an elevation of 8200 feet. Since there was a late season snow storm right before we got here, there was still some snow on the ground. However, the days had highs in the 60s, so while there was a reported 5 inches of snow on the morning we went, by the time we got there, the snow was very patchy and the sledding was not very good. But we had lugged two snow sleds up the tramway, and dang it, we were going to use them.
On an irritating side note, the 3G data connection at the top of the mountain was better than in our hotel room.

Here is a Google Maps of the trip we took. I guess I had my phone in my pocket for a bit too long on the tram.
