    It was awesome staff was friendly the food was delicious as well. Can't wait to go back. Thank you ...

    No tubes No sleds. Nothing but taking your money. Don't go.

    Nothing is ready. No tubes. No sleds. Save your money don't go. Deceptive advertising. Big promise but no delivery. Really shouldn't post website with kids sliding on sled when sleds, tubes, and runways aren't built nor available. Not to mention on thanksgiving week. Absolutely not business minded.

    Mt Baldy Resort is a small, family owned resort that people can come to during these winter months to ski, snowboard, and tube. The drive up to the first lift is not bad, and the lift itself has an amazing view of Angeles National Forest. At the top of the lift I got to enjoy the beginner ski area (lift #2) on a day where we hadn't experienced a storm in maybe half a week. The snow makers did a good job and there was still some decent terrain to snowboard on. If this was Mt Baldy on a bad day, I'd love to see it on a good day.

    Considering how close this mountain is to LA proper, it's a decent enough option for snowboarding if you don't want to drive much farther. The quality of the powder is extremely variable though given SoCal winter conditions but they do a great job processing rebookings when the weather isn't ideal.

    A true hidden gem. Mount Baldy is a legendary mountain. Occasionally it feels like a myth with less than usual now year after year and the rising temperatures. But rest assured, this myth is real. Tips: For a legendary ski day, visit directions after it snows. They have a small staff, and it may take a while for the safety checks and dig out the lifts. However, it is worth the wait. While visiting this epic mountain, you will not see jumps or jibbs. Mount Baldy is a natural ride. When you park and jump on Chair lift 1, you will be transported to the past. The lifts are old and slow, but they make you enjoy the views and cherish each and every ride. To get the most out of this mountain, you will need to be able to navigate through trees and ride down some steep terrain. Mount Baldy is the closest Mountain to Los Angeles, CA, and is always forgotten about, which is somewhat good because fewer people are on the slopes. Some people may not like this mountain because there might not be enough snow due to climate change, and it is a south-facing slope, which melts quicker, but the snow is out of their control.

    Mt. Baldy is a family-run resort and has an old-school feel. It's also the closest ski resort in LA. Takes only about an hour from home base and it's right off the 210 freeway. Yes, it's smaller than the more popular resorts in the region, but the lines aren't as long. The parking lot is smallish, so it's best to get here at least 30 mins before opening time on weekends. You buy your tickets online and you redeem it at the resort where they give you a printed ticket and lanyard. Parking is also $10. Was free only 2 years ago, but these days nothing is free anymore. Once you get your ticket, you take a two-person lift all the way up to the top where the runs and the main lodge are. The ride is very scenic, and it takes about 15 minutes or so. People go up and down just for the ride, although I believe you have to pay to do that. Up top, there's also a tube park for the kiddos. Pretty fun looking. There's also a small area for instruction. They also have rentals here, but I suggest you come early or rent somewhere else as they don't have a lot of gear. Also, they have a small staff so things will take a little longer. But they're all very friendly! Now for the runs. Like I said, there aren't many and they aren't very long, but it's great for intermediate to advanced riders/skiers. They don't exactly have bunny slopes here, but there are a couple of spots that aren't too intimidating. There's also a long intermediate run that takes you on a couple of cool switchbacks and ends up all the way back at the lodge. Really fun, chill ride. Pricing is reasonable. It changes depending on the day of the week, so check the website. On a Monday, I was able to get in 12 runs! Very good bang for the buck.

    Probably the best value in the region to ski. Unfortunately, only 3 lifts were open and 2 runs due to lack of snow. Easy to scratch the ski.

    If I have a 15 month old, can she take the lift to the tubing area? Or she is. Or allowed to take the lift cause she is under 40 inches?

    I don't believe you can. I know there is a height requirement not sure what it was.

    I see that you take a lift to get to the tubing area. my question is, once you're there, do you have to walk to the top of the tubing area with your tube each time or is there a moving walkway or smaller lift that takes you to the top?

A small portion of the trail leading up to the Ski Hut is covered in ice/snow, so I would recommend using hiking poles if you have any. Once you pass the Ski Hut, then micro-spikes are highly recommended (almost a must) because the trail is full of snow. More than half of the trail is not shaded and it's filled with loose rocks & gravels. And so, make sure to bring a hat and/or sunglasses, a good pair of hiking shoes as well as enough water and/or snacks. According to AllTrails, this a "difficult" trail so be prepared for 2-2.5 miles of incline (2000ft) heading up to the hut. There isn't a lot of signs along the trail so make sure you have some kind of offline map or navigation tool accessible.

So after discussing dates, we settled on this past weekend. I looked up campsites around the area, checked the Forest Service website for more info, and settled on Blue Ridge Campground. Our back up campground was Guffy Campground, which is also nearby. Directions: You take the 2 Hwy past the city of Wrightwood, keep going past Mountain High Ski, and the next turn after the ski lifts is Blue Ridge Rd (I think there's an East or West added to the street sign). You make a left turn onto the street, with Wrightwood behind you. It is a dirt road, and road conditions are a little rough. We took 2 SUVs out there and they did perfectly fine. My Mazda 6 would not have made the trek up. It's about 3 miles from the turn to the campground, which is at the top of the Mountain High Ski lifts. The road takes you directly there. Campground: It says there are 8 spots. First come first serve, I think I only saw 7. You only need an Adventure Pass to camp here (you can pick one up at the ranger station, sport chalet, rei day use is $5, yearly $30), meaning the campground itself is free. There are 4 vault toilets. Decent and they had toilet paper. Each site had a campfire ring and a picnic table. The views are amazing up here. Since the campground is perched on top of a mountain, you can see city lights on both sides of the mountain. I tried to catch the sunset, but it's obscured by trees and mountains. It's still so beautiful though! I saw a glimpse of the sunrise and it lit the sky up! Tips: HIgh clearance vehicles or 4 wheel drive. Adventure pass. Call to check fire restrictions, when we went we were allowed a campfire. Bring your own water, there is no water up here.

It took about 6 weeks to get everything completely switched over. But when we did go live in mid-October 2025, all I can say is WOW!! We've had 12 reservations made in just over a week's time! We didn't have 12 reservations in the last year total with the old company, so this has been very, very exciting for us. Aside from all of that, Leanne, Jennifer and their team are very communicative and helpful. If you are looking for new management, I cannot recommend them enough. Just do what they tell you to do, use their vendors, and follow their lead. They have figured out the algorithms and rental platforms to such a degree that your property will actually start to pay for itself.
