Thursday Sumner Miller and I zipped up to Baldy to take advantage of a season ticket deal thru the Chamber of Commerce, only $49. Sums had the bro connections and got a guest pass. But it was so windy they wouldn't open. Had us standing in line like penguins for 2 hours before they would open. Rest of the day was pretty damn nice. A bit windy at first, then very still and clear the rest of the day. Good snow, thought pretty choppy in the trees. I hacked. Hiking boots are definitely not suitable for boarding. And yes I did know better. Craigs list here I come for some boots. Sums floated and carved all over, and was a heck of a good tour guide.
Blazed home in little over an hour. Bless the diamond lanes! We cruised past 20 miles of parked cars. Baldy can get quite windy, but if you can get it when it's still or snowing gently, you will find a wide range of groomed and tree skiing. It's going to be a heck of a good year for snow.
