They find Palm Springs a snow-free playground where you lunch on the patio, wearing a playsuit as you look at the snow capped mountain peaks, then sleep under three blankets as the chilly desert darkness sets in. The resort has a fixed year round population of some 13,000, but the winter population is many times that. Shorts and playclothes are the thing to wear on the main village street. Palm Canyon Drive.
