When does ski season open?
Ski & Ride tickets are on sale from Friday, December 4, 2026. Opening day always depends on snow: if it moves, the Mountain Report and our emails say so first.
What are the winter hours?
Winter hours (from Dec 4):
- Mon–Sun: 9 AM – 5 PM
When is first chair, and when is last chair?
Chair 1 starts loading about 30 minutes after we open. Last chair up is about an hour before closing, so the last ride down is before we close.
When does snowmaking start?
As soon as the nights are cold enough. The Mountain Report shows when we're making snow.
When does the season end?
We ski as long as the snow lasts. The Winter Pass is good through April 30, 2027.
Snow & conditions
Is there snow right now? Do you have webcams?
The Mountain Report has today's snow, weather, which lifts are running, and the live webcams.
What should I wear? Do I need chains?
It's usually 15 to 25 degrees colder than the valley, and windy. Wear layers, winter boots, gloves and goggles. In winter, California law says to carry tire chains: check Caltrans QuickMap for the road before you come up.
Is this Mt Baldy in California?
Yes. Mt Baldy Resort is in the San Gabriel Mountains, at 8401 Mt Baldy Rd, Mt Baldy, CA 91759, about an hour from Los Angeles. (Not Mt Baldy in British Columbia.)

Lift tickets & prices
How much is a lift ticket?
Ski & Ride (all-day lift ticket) starts at $30. The price goes up as the day sells, so buying early is cheapest. Rentals are $45 a person. See the prices by day
Do you rent skis and snowboards?
Yes: a ski set (skis, boots, poles, helmet) or a snowboard set (board, boots, helmet), $45 for the day. Add it to your Ski & Ride ticket: we have a small shop and it sells out on busy days. We don't rent jackets, pants or goggles.
How far ahead can I buy?
Up to 90 days ahead. Winter tickets went on sale October 17, 2026. Days we're closed don't show, and sold-out days say Sold out.

Does my ticket work on every chair?
Ski & Ride is good on every lift that's running that day. The Mountain Report shows which chairs are open.
My tickets & changes
I bought tickets but can't find them or the QR code.
Open the link in your ticket email, or tap My Tickets and sign in with the same email you used. Each rider's code is there. Still missing? Chat with us and we'll resend them.
Can I change my day or get a refund?
Tickets are non-refundable. Mt Baldy depends on snow and weather: if we can't open on your day, you get the full amount you paid as a Mt Baldy gift card for another day, and we email it to you. To change your day, contact us before your day and the team will help. Ticket & refund policy
What happens if Mt Baldy doesn't open on my day?
We email you a Mt Baldy gift card for the full amount you paid. It never expires: use it on tickets for another open day. Early in the season we open when there's snow, so check the Mountain Report before you drive up. Ticket & refund policy
Does everyone need a waiver?
Yes: every rider signs one before riding. Parents sign for kids under 18. The link is in your ticket email and on each ticket in My Tickets, and you can send it to each rider. Pass holders sign one season waiver.
Can I sign the waiver at the mountain?
Yes, at the ticket window or on your phone at tickets.mtbaldyresort.com/waiver. Signing ahead is faster.
Parking
How much is parking?
$5 a car when you buy ahead, $10 at the lot. On ski days it's $10 ahead and $20 at the lot: there are fewer spots with the snow. Winter Pass holders park free. Buy parking
Do I need an Adventure Pass?
Not for our lot: our parking pass covers the base lot at 8401 Mt Baldy Rd. Forest Service areas (like Manker Campground) have their own rules: check with the Angeles National Forest.
Chairs, hiking & dogs
Which chairs run?
Chair 1 runs all year, from the base lot up to Top of the Notch at 7,800 ft. Chairs 2, 3 and 4 run in winter when there's snow. The Mountain Report shows today's lifts.
Who can ride the chair?
Everyone at least 40 inches tall. Kids under 12 ride with an adult. Non-motorized wheelchairs can load at Chair 1: tell the lift crew and they'll slow or stop the chair.
Can I hike up to the Notch?
Yes, in late spring, summer and early fall: it's about 4 miles up the fire road. In winter, no hiking inside the ski area when there's snow.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are welcome on a leash on the trails in the warm months, but never on any chairlift. In winter, no dogs in the ski area.
