Ready for a snow day

Just east of Lodi, a winter wonderland is beckoning

Posted: Thursday, December 27, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 6:53 am, Thu Dec 27, 2012.

4 Seasons Sports on Cluff Avenue is nestled in a maze of nondescript warehouse buildings. But inside is a colorful spread of snow parkas and pants, and enough snowboarding and skiing gear to satisfy any winter sports fanatic.

Owner Joe Stacher said the shop was packed on Wednesday, thanks mostly to the great snow conditions in the Sierra Nevada.
