After skiing a fun line with good snow the day before, Frank and I wanted more. We wanted a place with options, and narrowed it down to Baldy- a single peak with options abound.

As we rounded up to the top, we realized we still had time, and decided to drop in on the west side. But, first we enjoyed a few fun turns on the ridge.

Despite the lack of snow in the month of March, we found good conditions- from recycled pow to corn. Another great day out!
