Black diamond Mt Baldy, CA
South Bowl drops 409 vertical feet over 875 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 28°, South Bowl gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,330 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
