As snow continues to fall the team at Baldy Mountain Resort is preparing to open to the public on Friday, December 8th. To celebrate, the ‘First Chair Festival’ will be held that weekend (December 8-10) and will include fun activities for the whole family. Visitors have the chance to win prizes, collect giveaways, participate in guided tours, watch a fireworks display and kids can race a fun slalom course or join a treasure hunt.

The main attraction is of course the skiing and snowboarding and new terrain is available to ride this season. There is plenty to keep non-skiers entertained too, including disc golf, snowshoeing or sipping on some hot chocolate while tobogganing.
