Here are excerpts from a recent blog entry on the Ski Idaho Challenge
web site regarding Bald Mountain.
"This gem of a family ski area is nestled on a peak, with a mid-mountain
lodge and beginner tow, and situated with ridge access at the top providing
a very wide swath of terrain....
...Bald Mountain provided plenty of challenge, with great powder,
tight trees, and an excellent face below the upper lift house with fresh
turns all day."
Another blog entry was spotted on the Ski Idaho web site. Here's an excerpt:
..."You get plenty of fun for a great price at Bald Mountain.
When you arrive fuel up with some homemade biscuits and gravy in the lodge.
Then board the vintage T-bar to a surprising variety of terrain on 140
acres. Theres something for everyonecruisers, trees and short,
sweet, steep drops into pillow soft snow."
