When the snow is good and you're in good shape, there are the most amazing places you can skis at Royal Gorge. There are also excellent trails for beginners and mid-range skiers, but if you want a long, challenging day of skiing, this is the place to go. It is the highlight of my yearly ski vacation to the Lake Tahoe area and spending five hours on skis isn't hard to do here.

This place is now the CSU Desert Studies Center. Whilst you can walk around the outside and look at the old buildings, please be aware that this is a working campus and students may be studying. I think some of the other reviews have got this place confused with something else. Zzyzx was once home to a health spa called Soda Springs. The spa owner, Curtis Howe Springer was born in 1896 in Birmingham, Alabama. He worked as an insurance salesman and then a radio evangelist, calling himself "the last of the old-time medicine men." However, it seems that Springer had no formal medical training. After making some money through preaching and selling homemade homoeopathic remedies, Springer used the money to file a mining claim in the Mojave Desert, which he called Zzyzx. Springer built a hotel and health spa on his desert land, heating the water with pumps and claiming that the site offered miracle cures. Soda Springs ran for almost 30 years with people believing they were receiving natural medical treatments. In 1969, several customers made complaints and the American Medical Association subsequently investigated Springer, labelling him the “King of the Quacks.” He was convicted in 1974 of fraud for which he served prison time. Springer died in 1985 at the age of 88 in Las Vegas.
