Though we have the lovely Dragon Ball Super movie Wednesday, there isn't anything that niche in town this week. We suggest, if you can, heading into the mountains. We're talking Big Bear and the rest. Ski trip! Snowboarding! Snowball fights. Maybe try and show the kids snow for the first time or for many us in LA. Go finally out into the world and see what snow looks like up close.
