The Mount Baldy Ski Lifts, or "Baldy", is a ski resort in the western United States in southern California. Forty-five miles (72 km) east-northeast of Los Angeles in San Bernardino County, it is located on Mount San Antonio—Mount Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains.
History
The vintage ski lifts were installed in 1952 by Harwood Developments. They were operated as Mt Baldy Ski Lifts Inc. and were managed by Herbert Leffler from 1953 until his retirement in 1969. The resort was sold to an investment group in 1969.
In 1987, Bob Olson proposed a project to make Baldy "The Disneyland of the Mountains."[1]
