Smaller ski areas........

A few years ago, Baldy was a stop on a ski tour called something like "Anything but Vail". It was a group of skiers led by a CSIA Level 4 instructor doing a road trip for a good old fashioned ski experience, without the hype and big city atmosphere.

Prior to their day at Baldy, they skied Phoenix, the next stops were Apex and Manning.

There is something special about smaller family friendly ski areas that is lost when the big companies swallow them up.

The first video was shared with me in December - a couple of people who watched it had a tear or two.

The second video was posted today on Castanet.

They take awhile to watch, but are thought provoking - Baldy's Weather Guru has skied all the hills in the first video.

Trouble embedding in this post - videos below.
