Too funny, the peak between Alta and Snowbird is Mt. Baldy also... It snowed probably two feet there overnight, so I thought you were local for sure

People ski at Mt. Baldy....??
Sorry, could not resist! I generally stop below the ski lift parking lot about where the road goes up to San Antonio falls at 6k feet. Depending on the time of year I'll hike or snowshoe up to the old ski hut at 8k feet. If time/weather/conditions permit I'll go up the bowl or the ridge route to the summit at 10k.
Every so often I'll take the old rickety ski lift up to the notch and then go across the Devil's Backbone route to the summit. You can get some really cool alpine-ish conditions there.

Cool pictures.
It's been several years but I've had some good days skiing the bowl above the hut. The Backbone has some really steep chutes that are blast to ski in the right conditions.

Hey! You are a little crazy! I don't own skis anymore but maybe we'll have to try to meet over near Baldy anyhow...

I'm planning to hike/snow shoe there Christmas Eve morning ... it's a good little hike and like another poster said, park below, hike to ski hut, carry on to summit if you wish ... about 10k feet ... good, local winter hike. Easy to get to.
