Mt Baldy Ski Resort

Mt Baldy is not the most well known ski resort in the Okanagan. But this is the way a lot of the snow lovers would like to keep it.

Less line ups and crowds mean more time skiing or snowboarding.

This keeps the visitors to this ski hill very happy!

The resort can offer a very affordable family vacation as it tends to keep its prices lower than some of the other Okanagan Ski Resorts . There are lower lift costs and and discount coupons available for ski lift and season passes.

There are still all the amenities available here that the more popular resorts offer.

Besides the privately owned cabins and condos there are a number of great facilities here. These include:

  • A day lodge

  • Cafeteria

  • Baldy bar and lounge

  • Ski shop

  • Snow school

    There are ski and snowboard rentals and lessons available from the novice to the more advanced wanting to improve their skills.

    Summer At The Resort

    Winter at Mount Baldy isn't the only time to enjoy the activities at this resort. You can bring the family up in the summer months too.

    Check out the many trails that run through the hills. Great for mountain biking and hiking!

    There is an 18-hole championship frisbee golf course here that many people love to try out.

    Who says a great ski resort has to be used only for winter activities.
