Winter is still here, and it is snowing - should be a great weekend. All lifts operating April 1st. No Sugarlump April 2nd. Closed Monday-Thursday. Bonus Weekend - Easter, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - 7,8,9 - Eagle Chair and Magic Carpet only - limited food and beverage.
Slush Cup April 9th.
Check BMR for promo on buying season pass at last year's early season price.
You are missing the sunshine and the great groomers - off the groomed is still chattery at 11:00am but should improve as the day goes on.
Best run on the Lump - Jones. Best run on the Eagle is Powderkeg.
If you thought my driveway was a good place to put a little green bag, I have moved it across the street so you can pick it up on your way back.
Seven more days to skibaldy this season. March 30 - April 2nd, and the bonus 3 Easter days. April 7,8,9th
Slush Cup is April 9th. You might be able to stay dry - current management prefers a slightly shorter pond.
I've done it, and I have one hint for you - if you hit the pond at an angle, don't try to steer on the water with your ski!
Monday was a great day of "winter" skiing with winter snow conditions. We didn't see the sun we were hoping for until late afternoon. Sunny Tuesday morning - closed Tuesday, Wednesday - back open Thursday.
Hello Baldy Babes,
Our final snowshoe
this season brought us to the Baldy Babes Pool. Hilary in the lead, Cheryl in
the middle of the group and I was the tail guide. The weather cooperated with
sunshine, puffy clouds, calm winds and perfect temperature.
We celebrated with
some bubbly and sang the Baldy Babes song.
Thank you Chloe
and the staff for the great food, beverages and comfort of the Baldy Bar.
Thank You all for
the beautiful gift baskets! They are so special.
Looking forward to
seeing your smiling faces next year!
Take Care,
Marian
Just had a young fellow at my door - tracking of the cell phone directed him to my area of Porcupine, so he was thinking someone may have picked it up with the intention of taking it to guest services.
If all you do is ski with the same people all of the time, you can miss out on some great experiences. This weekend I had two days of seeing our special mountain through the eyes of a 14 year old. Thank-you Mark for bringing your niece to Baldy - Lex, Gail and I had a wonderful time with Alexis. She is an exceptional teen, and fun to be with.
Paul Wickland with his nephew and family.
A successful season with 21 young skiers, 9 more enhanced their skills in the first Spring Break camp, and Coach Ted is out on the hill with the second Spring Break camp.
Today was like Spring Break should be - so many little skiers having a lot of fun on the Sugar Lump. Even this old timer had more runs today than any other day this season.
On the hill this week there have been replacement knees, hips, shoulders and at least one ankle. Joint replacements have not prevented most from returning to the slopes.
We have one resident who chooses to use her titanium knees only on snow shoes. One other no longer skis, but comes up, goes for walks, and continues to welcome guests to the cabin.

Many of us don't have curtains on our upper floor bedroom windows, because we like to look out at the weather when we wake up.
One cabin has their loft bedroom illuminated when the groomer works on Ponderosa.
Report this morning - 5 passes down Pondo.
I have joined MC in no longer using the road crossing at the power line by Websters. When the season is over, I'll dig out my submissions to council in past years, and put together another one for when they review the snow removal contract. Some of my suggestions would require summer work. I am now skiing across toward Klamuts, down the ramp, and walking up the road.

| March 18, 2023 Thanks to Ron Hiller for these images. Ron has a website where you can order various prints and products with his images on them. When placing an order, check to see where it will be shipped from - the pixel company has 15 locations in Canada and USA, and not all have the same products. Ron owns Sidley Mountain Auto, but when his inventory of used and parts cars are under the snow, he has more time for photography. |
I have not seen this on the BCWF Facebook page yet, but it is in the latest edition of the Kettle River Echo.
Hello Baldy Babes,
Celebrating the
first day of Spring today on the trails. Next Monday will be our last Baldy
Babes snowshoe for 2023. We will meet at 10 at the Lodge for our snowshoe with
a special celebration.
Our snowshoe trek
today brought us to the Stripper Pole. A little crunchy snow under the shoe in
places and soft quiet snow too. Thank you Chloe and the Baldy staff for lunch a
la carte.
Looking forward to
seeing your smiling faces next week.
Take care, Marian
Three retired health care professionals are out there snow shoeing every day. They have come up with a fitness plan for Wylee, and he was allowed to tag along with the Baldy Babes today.
After a sunny spring weekend, we are starting the first day of spring with cloudy skies.
Please e-mail me so I know who I am responding to. unbaldy@gmail.com

A proposed tax hike of 30% - attend the Town Hall in Rock Creek. Poster indicates submitting questions in advance.
Friday comedy night - It may be close to sold out.
"This coming weekend will be our last weekend opened later in
the bar so last call roughly 7:30, 8pm for Friday and Saturday. This Friday is
also the comedy show and tickets must be purchased in advance I believe the
show is almost fully booked.
The following week 24, 25th we will no longer be open late for the rest of the season last call will roughly be 4:30 5pm"
A conversation in the food line at the fundraiser last night, with a Grandfather of a current Alpine Club youth, and the mother of some other Alpine Club members.
Talking about the days of Sieglinde skiing with a long line of little ones following her all over the hill. I do have a photo somewhere of the kids giving Sieglinde a pair of pink long johns that were signed by all the kids on the team.
At least two younger siblings of racers in these photos were there last night with their children.

Thanks to a conversation on the chair this winter, I now have the equipment to bulk scan the bins of photos I have from the pre-digital years. Lots more Baldy History to come.
A first class event thanks to enthusiastic families. Thanks to Troy, Mindy and the BMR Team. Good food, and beverage service. The kids of the alpine club were great with manning the ticket table, and clearing tables.
Lots of work and attention to detail - table cloths, table decorations, and a large display upstairs of silent auction items.
Thanks to Kirsten and Michael for helping with the 50/50.
A full house, including representatives from People in Motion and Adaptive Snow Sports, parents of earlier club groups, former Baldy racers with their children.
The party will be going on for awhile yet.
