Mount Baldy is a small ski resort near the Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia just north of the border Washington state.
In 1968, its first season, Baldy operated as a ski cat area with McKinney Tee bar. A year later, the resort acquired a T-bar. The T-bar base at 5650ft a.s.l. is the highest base of any ski resort in Canada. The lift was recently replaced with a double chair.
Another lift, Sugarlump (also known as Sugarloaf) was opened in the 2007-2008 ski season.
The hill is unique as in that the associated village of 150 ski cottages are ski-in ski-out. The resort is renowned for its big pow Thursday and glade skiing.
