Where are some good WINTER backpacking spots?

The less cold the better. Mountains, coast, desert, we're down for anything. Our sleeping bags only go down to 20 so we're looking for a generally warmer area. We live in LA so we don't want to be driving too far.............let me know!
Answer
Last winter (Feb.) a huge group of took the tram from Palm Springs into Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness and camped in the snow - I was fine in my 20 degree bag. Really depends on what you like. J-Tree gets cold, but it's very campable all winter.
A vapor liner in your bag can help boost the temp rating quite a bit. And if you're on snow you can add an extra cheapy foam sleeping pad under your normal pad for additional insulation.
And, if you want to expand your knowledge base of places to go and people to go with, you can try out the L.A. Sierra Club Wilderness Travel Course: http://www.wildernesstravelcourse.org/
I did the San Diego version and had a ball - made new hiking/backpacking friends, and learned about all kinds of spots that I didn't know about. The class runs 10 weeks or so, and involves a bunch of backpacking adventures.
