Miracle Patch - Snow in June!

So it's hardly a mystery. Anyone affiliated with snowboarding is familiar with the natural wonder of "The Patch." On a June afternoon, sun shinning and sky's blue, a group of local riders (my husband included) make every turn up the backside of Wrightwood to do some snow play. Sunglasses, snowboards, & shovels in tow. It's unexplained to why the snow remains, long after local resorts close their lifts, but the best reason, little direct sunlight. No matter, because with no hefty ticket prices and crowds it was a fun day for everyone.
