Good, glad to hear it was a Typo. You wouldn't believe where students end up going sometimes... And to Rick's comment about the passes. They can be Mr. Toads wild ride or worse for a light plane, especially when a strong high pressure system is present, doesn't need to be an actual storm. That is also why I am a big proponent of pre solo spin recovery training. Some students don't want it as it might scare them. My answer is that you will be scared much more if you find yourself in a spin and don't know how to recover from it.
The LA basin is a great place to learn to fly. You will also get to experience Big Bear and Catalina, all of which will teach valuable lessons.
Best of luck and fly safe
