    Ski Area, Not Ski Resort

    by GreyRacer - Nov 5, 2008

    Pros: Big Open Areas; friendly people; close to LA

    Cons: refrozen snow; rentals,

    This is a great ski area, but it's not a ski resort by ANY stretch of the imagination. When it's just dumped, its good - best in SoCal by far. I was... Full review

    Sometimes "close to L.A." is good enough!

    by keithrocka - Mar 25, 2009

    Pros: no frills, great when it snows

    Cons: sketchy lifts, rentals, food

    I've been to Mt. Baldy three times in the past two years. I live in Los Angeles, so it's nice to know that there are a few places closer than Mammoth, Tahoe,... Full review

    Fun hill; misleading marketing

    by RagingGrandpa - Mar 1, 2009

    Pros: Fun, steep terrain

    Cons: Patchy snowcover, slow lifts, unusable vertical drop

    I was at Baldy on Feb. 27, 09. They received 3' of new snow 11 days before my visit, so it had been re-frozen many times. The sun softened the exposed snow... Full review

    Best Kept Secret... Really!

    by snwbrddad34 - Feb 26, 2009

    Pros: Trails, Slopes, Lots of Snow... even on NO snow days, real close!

    Cons: Slow lift and unfriendly parking spaces, no night runs, expensive food/beer

    Many still consider Baldy as "not the place to be" and it's totally OK by me. I really like the fact that I can snowboard all day and go home to my... Full review
