We loaded up the truck with our 3 tired, grumpy, and overly unenthusiastic kids Saturday morning for a trip to Mt Baldy in hopes for sledding and a day of snow adventure. Coming from Northern Arizona, I have to say, at this time of year, snow was pretty easy to find, and you didn't have to go in search of it, much less, drive to a resort to find it. Those in my family know, I was blessed with the carsickness gene, so a loaded up my meclizine before the winding road trip, just to get up this mountain, which i have to add, is peaked with snow from the view in our yard in Upland.
So, to make a long story short, we drive up to the parking lot, where these young men in "sleeveless" vests, are macho pointing vecicles into their spots, which in itself has to be such a humiliting job, but to be directing cars full of folks who are trying to look up at mountains with no snow on them has to be even more humiliating. So, we left the sleds and our large jackets in the truck, all opting for a light sweatshirt, to walk up to the lift and find out, well whyin the world would all the ski reports say Mt Baldy was open for a the day when obviously, where the hell is the snow???
To my amazement, they say you have to ride the lift, all the way up this mountain, pay for each kid, just to ride your sleds???? You have got to be kidding me....needless to say, we turned our kids around, gave Mt Baldy the bird, and took the kids to Tom's farms for Burgers and Candy.
Mt Baldy is overpriced and ridiculous, you may as well take the extra time and head up to Big Bear or Mt High.
We have NO Bananas for Mt Baldy.
