The Mt Baldy Ski Lifts Inc. began operation in 1952. Since that time Mt Baldy has become well known for being Southern California's backyard mountain hosting some of the area's best natural terrain for skiers and snowboards. Mt Baldy also operates year-round with lift access to majestic hiking routes into the Sheep Mountain and Cucamonga Wilderness areas. Along with a robust summer, special events calendar, tent cabin camping, zip line ride, and epic mountain bike descent trails Mt Baldy truly is Southern California's most authentic mountain experience.
