Kirkwood is my favorite place, however it is more for experienced snowboarders. The terrain is difficult compared to some of these other places. But my dad learned there and it really is one of the best places! I'd check that out! Good luck!

Mammoth Lakes or Tahoe are the best resorts in Cali.

What about Lake Tahoe?
I'm not a pro Snowboard or an experience one but thats where I usually go to Ski and I'm learning how this year.

Why go to Shasta or Mammoth when Tahoe is barely two hours away?
Do yourself a favor and never, ever go to Boreal again. that place is beat. My favorite places in Tahoe are Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Kirkwood. As a beginner you would probably really like Northstar. Their amenities are amazing and it's a great place to learn.

it's a drive, but Mt. Shasta is amazing.
