Mt. Baldy Resort
Location: 8401 Mt Baldy Rd, Mt Baldy, CA 91759
Distance from campus: 94 Miles
For the more experienced ski or snowboard enthusiast, Mt. Baldy is a secret paradise. As the resort rests on the southern slopes of Mount San Antonio, annual snowfall is highly variable; some seasons experience only enough snowfall to operate the ski area for a few days total. When the snowfall is abundant, however, this modest resort features a small number of lifts, steep runs, natural terrain, and a rustic charm that has evaded modern commercialization.
Take a trip back in time at Mt. Baldy.
