Intro to Mount Baldy, BC

Champaign powder at mount baldy today. "the genuine thing" according to the sign painted on the two mountain ops trucks. No snow making here. Funny. No ice on the hill either. Never waited for a lift once although there are only two lifts.A bit freaky having chairs without bubbles around them and that are permenantly attached to the cable with a splice - can that kind of old technology be trusted? Metal girder towers that aren't even filled with concrete so "ice jacking" is only what you do to Johnny walker at the end of the day. Anyway Wilde has no idea what a great place it is so we drag her kicking to the hill. But once she's knee deep in powder under blue sky and above the clouds the magic spell is woven and we have lunch in the glades.
