Mt. Baldy ski area, San Gabriel Mountains, California
|
| | (...) While the staff is great, and the locals are tremendous, this is a very advanced mountain with extremely challenging conditions that are nothing like anything else in Southern California. You cannot compare a slope like, say, Vertigo at Mountain High West, rated as a double-black diamond, with any double-black diamond at Baldy, where the slopes are far steeper and have numerous obstacles. While I found some really sweet powder their last week, the area is prone to very high winds, sheets of glassy ice where you |
|
would never expect them, and even after a big snowfall, there are stretches of mud, dirt, and rocks. If you take training seriously, and are experienced, and you pay attention every single second, and you don't mind having the living crap scared out of you, you
| can have a great time on this mountain. If you are lazy, drunk or inexperienced, be prepared to go home in a cast-- or a helicopter. --Ma says Matthew.
The Mt. Baldy Ski Patrol is the best ski patrol in the country and the mountain is absolutely fantastic! says Jay Reidy.

of green and blue trails. This ski mountain has 400 acres of skiable land, and it's all in great shape. There are 4 great ski lifts here, and they are in good shape. The snowboarding and the skiing in this part of the country is a good thing to do the whole season.

to bottom of 2,100 feet is in fact unbelievable. This ski area has 28 ski trails, and they are picturesque. The winter scenery of the California highlands and the exceptionally pleasant runs are sure to keep you returning for more. The snow covered summits of
California are something you can’t pass up if you're interested in snowboarding or skiing. The summits of the San Gabriel Mountains give this ski mountain a very magnificent sight. The picturesque snow covered San Gabriel Mountains summits are a magnificent snowboarding
