16 Years on ExPo. Whoa!!
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 
(I was also going to say be careful with Avalanche conditions!)

Excelsior!
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.

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.

The weather forecast is calling for a series of 3 storms starting Thursday night and lasting into Monday, each one getting colder. The snow level will start out around 6500-7000 feet and drop a few thousand feet by Monday. There is a good chance of a few feet of snow being dumped on Baldy as a result. I am trying to get permission for a quick day trip next week sometime, maybe Monday or Thursday. If interested let me know. I need to get a few runs in before I head up to Whistler in February:wings:
