Skiing in Los Angeles County

by gilescorey - last update: Feb 4, 2004

Mt. Baldy, California

6000' ft. elev. at base
Only sixty-miles from Downtown Los Angeles, Mt. Baldy is a "skiers" mountain. No snow-making, limited grooming, and some wild terrain. It's not popular, so funds are limited, and the lodge and lifts suggest pre-perestroika Soviet Union. More detailed information is available under "sports tips".
Thunder Mt. from Lodge.

Thunder Mountain

One of two peaks serviced by lifts. Thunder has better exposure and terrain, and is therefore open more often.

Steeps

Great Steeps off the lower chair, if the terrain is open, and if the snow-level is below 6000 ft.
Watch for Rocks
weird light, eh?

Late Snows in So California

Skiing is best in Spring. This is looking towards Mt. San Antonio from Thunder Mt.

The approach...

This is my rattletrap car from a couple years ago(I bought it for $500, drove it for four months, and it died. I sold it for $75). The white summit in the background is Mt. San Antonio(Baldy), and this is the view, en route.
If MY car can make it...

 What an enjoyable read. Great pics of Watts Towers. I've always enjoyed Venice Beach too, and it's a shame more people don't use the metro.

 I don't care if it is a tourist trap or not, low in tackiness was easily balanced by the height of the skirts..... ;-)
