Skiing in LA // From Backcountry to Beach

Mount San Antonio aka Mount Baldy is just within the boundary of Los Angeles County. The city itself is roughly 35 miles away by chartered helicopter or an hour to two and a half hours by car depending on the time of day. Very recently, I was surprised to discover that a 10,000 ft peak existed on the doorstop of Tinseltown. I’ve been to LA and the surrounding areas often in my life but never knew it was possible to ski so close to the famous beaches of the City of Angels. I’m sure the conditions have to be perfect for skiing to be possible on Mount Baldy/Mount San Antonio. For me they were perfect… almost. The snow was great. Around 14 inches of new snow fell 24 hours before my arrival. My challenge was to take advantage of that snow before the Southern California sun could destroy it.
