Blue Grouse

Blue grouse spotted from the Eagle Chair this afternoon - vicinity of Tower 15. 

Mother Nature Woke Up

Full marks to the groomer operators who kept us in the game during our prolonged sunny spell. Mother Nature delivered teasers for 4 days prior to the weekend, and topped it off with 9cms in 4 hours today.

 

Baldy Longtimers on the Hill

A feel good morning with "old" friends. A hug in the Sugarlump line from James who is here from Taiwan with his wife Vicky. A hug at the top of the Eagle from Marge's granddaughter Emily. (there are a few MacLeods on the hill this weekend.)

Some runs with Ethel's son Lex and Gail. A talk about lifetime skiers. Lex has new gear, and one of his friends couldn't understand why he would spend money on new gear to keep skiing at his age. A Facebook note last week that James' Mom has new gear.

The new snow stuck to the old just fine, the skiing is great. .............and at 2:00pm, it is snowing again.

The snow fence is there for a reason..........

I have a snow fence across the back of my property for a reason. Hazards below include utilities, steep drops, and my truck. I spoke to the last of a group that cut through today. One of them clipped the marker for a sewer clean-out. I haven't been down below yet to see if they clipped another cleanout. With the two weeks of sun, I doubt that there is much coverage over the bank clean-out, and the water shut-offs.

 

Tubing is back tonight

Tubing is back tonight and moving forward until conditions allow us. If you haven't experienced our night skiing your missing out with access to a stellar terrain park, tubing, and beginner skiing. Brush up on skills until 7pm Friday and Saturday nights. Guest services open until 6pm and the bar open until late.

From BMR Facebook. Not sure if that is a BMR drone shot, or one of Rob's.

Welcome Home Kendal

I don't know what your flight path to YVR was yesterday, but just maybe your jet had something to do with our surprise snow storm yesterday afternoon.

See you on the slopes tomorrow. 

Monday - Baldy Babes

Hello Baldy Babes,

We carefully shoed out to the Buck Road entrance this morning. When we climbed up the trail, we were amazed at the Superior Mirages to the South. The photos didn't capture the flat tops, pipestone formations and holes created by the mirages.

We weaved our way through the trees up to the Old Dead End Trail and back Meadow Trail down to the Lodge for lunch.

Corn salad, pulled pork tacos and churros for dessert were on the menu.

Next Monday is "Crazy Hat Day."

Monday, February 9th we will ride the Eagle Chairlift to the top of Mt. Baldy Ski Area. A $10 fee for the one ride up if you don't have a pass.

Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces next week.

Take Care, Marian
