I have two prepaid tix to Baldy and am thinking of using them tomorrow (time's running out). It reported 18-24" of fluff over a 12" base. Is that sufficient enough coverage for a decent amount of runs there?
Hey Tony - Is Baldy (CA) safe for tomorrow (3/13)

Did you end up going to Baldy on Monday? The conditions sounded good, from the website. If you went, was there enough snow on Thunder Mtn.?
thx,

Guys, check out my full report here:
Southland Ski Report
It was worth it, but I'd guess that my rating would go down 1 point each day unless it snows more...

Thanks for that report- gotta love that South Bowl!
I think report #14 (and report #9 before this storm) paint the picture quite well. I wasn't here, but the very cold temperatures and low snow levels sound to me like a storm that was not ideal for base-building. In addition it was one of those rare storms that snowed more at Big Bear (30 inches) than at Baldy (16-24). Therefore I would probably go to Big Bear for SoCal skiing unless there is another storm soon of similar magnitude.
Easter will be the next weekend that I am home. Therefore it is likely this will be the first season since I began skiing that I do not ski even one day at a SoCal ski area.

Went to Baldy. Snow was great - mostly tracked but super soft, and you could pretty much avoid the rocks. My first time there, so I didn't venture off the beaten path too much. I'd have to look at a trail map to even know which runs I did. Got 4 trips up Thunder before the chair broke down. It was funny listening to one of Baldy's marketing people give his pitch to two strangers waiting for the chair to start back up. ("Summit would end 250 feet below top of chair 1"). Fog rolled in but that didn't stop a few boarders from riding down to the parking lot. Scary. Then it was off to Mammoth for two days.
