Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, Inc. Aka Mt. Baldy Ski Resort Falsified Early Morning Snow Report and Current Conditions Sign at Ticket Office: Claimed 8" of fresh powder when only had dangerous ice! Staff was rude and threatening! Mt. Baldy, California
I wrote a letter to Mr. Pete Olson, owner of Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, Inc. on 01/27/08
No reply was ever received. Here is an excerpt from the letter describing their falsification of the snow conditions and rude and threatening behavior. I will likely never return:
"...Excited about the news of all the recent snow fall, I woke early today with plans to head to Baldy. I called your Snow Report Line (909-981-3344) at 7:00am this morning. The report and the web-site both stated that there was a 3-4ft. base, with 8in. of fresh powder over-night. I headed up, arrived at the ticket booth, and the sign outside stated:
"3-4ft. base; Bonanza has been groomed; Entire mountain open; Top of the mountain Crazy!
I eagerly purchased a ticket and headed to the Notch. I was surprised to see that despite what the sign below read, Chair 4 was not operating. I then headed over to Chair 3, and took Robin's Run down. I am an experienced s****..

Powder goes fast

Eight inches of fresh powder can get skied off in minutes. Especially when it's man made and a steep slope. The man made stuff is light as a feather. And ice is what's under fresh powder. I used to ski at Killington VT, and every night they made tons of powder on Bear Mountain, a steep, wide superstar slope. I swear, you could see the hundreds of people just skiing it off on the ride up the quad. I think within 30 minutes, you were skiing on ice. People would line up at like 7 AM just to be the first ones to hit the fresh powder. Myself, I have a really difficult time skiing on powder and find I have better edger control on the ice, as a lot of people who learned to ski in VT do.
