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 

It is not in the forecast, but we will take it - one flake at a time.

Light snow falling, couple of cms already.

10:00 pm update, not snowing at the moment

Update from the Baldy Mountain Community Association

Thank you to all our past members for your financial contributions and support  - they've truly made a difference and are greatly appreciated.

As our future plans have evolved and become more focused, formal memberships fees are no longer required. Instead we will be supported through voluntary donations, community fundraisers, and community events. Another great way for people to help is by donating beverage containers to BMCA, it's so easy with Return It-Express. 

These contributions will help us continue our work while keeping involvement flexible and accessible to everyone.  If you are interested in continuing to support the community association then please feel free to do an email transfer to baldymtnca@gmail.com.  

We're grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to what we can build together.

 

Sincerely 

BMCA
