Beach/surf vs. Mtn/ski for life
I just returned from San Diego. Part of the trip included La Jolla, Belmont, Dog Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Coronado, and finally: Imperial Beach. Most of them were too crowded (looking at you La Jolla), but man, I could have never left Imperial Beach. Weather was perfect, waves were perfect, beers were perfect, not too many people, crowd was a little rough...but not too rough. Damn near perfect!

But then there's the mountain. Ski, MTB, cold, snow, beautiful vistas, valleys, rivers, trail runs, hikes, seasons.

If you had to pick only one place to pick...and couldn't go to the other...which do you pick? I know this is a ski site, so the answer is obvious, but man the sun and sand of IB was nice! I've also had good luck at beaches here in DE, in NJ, NC, and Florida...so it's not just a CA thing.
Just curious what others thought.
Aside: who owns the CA beachfront??? Wiki tells me that median income of IB is $49K...you can't get a house within 2mi of IB beach for <$550K....and IB is about as cheap as it gets!
