TR:SoCal_Mt_Baden_Powell
April 6, 2008
Just North of Los Angeles and 2 hours from my house is Mt. Baden-Powell. Summit at 9400 ft and parking at 6500. Easy steep boot pack for the accent. Didn't need the crampons. Had great snow conditions, little windy on upper part.
The Atomics are on the disabled list, so had to take the 202 cm Tua Mega's. Fucking things got caught on just about every tree I hiked under.
Portal to Hell?
About 2/3 up the hill a big burning hole in the snow. My thoughts:
1. Someone lit a snag on fire and it's been burning for awhile
2. Lightning lit a snag on fire and it's been burning for awhile
3. Space Aliens
Note depth of snow...good winter!
Nice view of L.A.
Difficult logistics to ski the North side of Mt. Baldy in good conditions, but looks awesome.
Transition from the trees into the gully.
Hard to get good photos with sun behind skier.
A little brushy the last few feet, but we skied all the way to the road.

Nice TR. I really have to get a bit more socal before the season is over. Having said that Mammoth was good this weekend.
