Are you kidding? For good (but short) slopes, you needn't drive 2 or
3 hours. the better stuff is more like 6 hours.
the short trip is Wrightwood. 10 Fwy east to 15 N. Exit 138 and go left.
Follow the signs. Supposed to be open at night also (with lights).
A little longer, and possibly more fun is Snow Valley near Big Bear,
which is north east of San Bernardino.  
There are several other popular skiing resorts near Snow Valley.
Check out the local ski rental shops ( even SEARS in Northridge used to
have one, maybe still does) for brochures, maps and discount 
tickets.
The L.A Times advertises cabin rentals in the classifieds section.
But you can do better by staying in San Berd. and taking the short
drive up.
I haven't been to all of the places, but my son has, and those are
his recommendations.
Have FUN!
