<p>Congrats on the decision finally being made - and for choosing Mudd! I hope/am sure she will have a wonderful challenging experience.</p>
<p>As for snow - well you can see snow everyday in the winter on Mt. Baldy behind the school & drive to skiing whenever that is possible. And, it gets cold at Mudd - this winter my D complained that she had to wear gloves to hold her smoothie in the morning!</p>
<p>(Actually, the great thing about California is that you can drive to whatever outdoor seasonal adventure you want - and in S. CA in about an hr - the beach, mountains, desert, rolling hills, farmland…)</p>
