Lot 8 Buck Road - Mount Baldy, BC
Baldy Mountain Resort is located on the southern side of Mount Baldy in the Southern Okanagan region of BC Canada about 37 km southeast of Oliver, or 77 km southeast of Penticton. McKinney Road is unpaved for about 18 km from Oliver but it’s a nice easy grade, and you can park right near the slopes. Or you can come from Osoyoos (58 km) or Rock Creek (32 km) on Highway 3 and turn onto Mt Baldy Road, which is also unpaved most of the way up.
When you arrive at Mount Baldy, turn left onto Cougar Road, at the Y intersection stay left on Wapiti Creek Road, then turn right onto Buck Road (second right), and the property will be on the right side when the road levels off.
This little ski area perched above BC’s wine country is a hidden gem . . . charmingly old-school and it has a really friendly vibe! Baldy is the real deal with excellent glades, lots of snow, no lines and amazing views.
It works for all levels of skiers and riders with 33% beginner runs, 46% intermediate runs and 21% advanced, so the whole family is covered! Compared to other resorts, Baldy is very inexpensive from buying a day ticket, a season pass or a lot or a cabin! The resort offers a few other activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter disc golf and a toboggan area.
The vertical isn’t significant at 397 metres (1,726-2,123 m) but it’s enough and the advantage for snow quality is that the base elevation is nice and high. The ski resort has 3 lifts which includes 1 quad chair, 1 double chair, and a magic carpet. Baldy feels like ski hills did in the 1970s and ’80s, family oriented and relaxed!
Having skied MANY ski areas from Eastern Canada and now BC and Alberta, I can honestly say that Baldy is my favourite! If you like powder come on a Thursday, as the hill is closed Tuesday and Wednesdays, so Thursdays are usually epic!
In winter, the resort is renowned for its light dry powder, among all that fresh pow Baldy provides terrain-based learning and has activities for everyone: skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowmobiling (sledding) isn’t permitted in the resort area, but there’s plenty of Crown land beyond for exploring. There’s an 18-hole disc golf course beside the base area as well.
In summer, there’s hiking and mountain biking under your own power. People like to escape the hot Okanagan valley to the cooler temperatures at Baldy. The resort has plans to develop the mountain into more of a four-season destination, so stay tuned!
Baldy Mountain Resort was founded in 1968. The beginnings of Baldy Mountain lie in a community of passionate winter enthusiasts who saw the potential for amazing outdoor experiences. These enthusiasts overcame many challenges and put their hearts into the development of Baldy.
Prior to the development of Baldy Mountain, Borderline Ski Club operated a family ski area on Hedlund’s Ranch near Bridesville. The season was short at that elevation, and skiers were looking for more challenging terrain. The club had their eyes on Baldy Mountain, and a few members ventured to Baldy on snowmobiles to check out the area.
In 1967 a group formed a limited company, put together some financing, and began the process of moving from the ranch to Baldy. Borderline Ski Club voted on September 24th, 1968 to transfer their assets and liabilities to Mt. Baldy Recreations Ltd.
Following this, the last four miles of the access road was constructed, the lodge built, runs cleared, and the T-bar moved.
Baldy Mountain Resort opened for the 1968-69 season, with the McKinney T-bar and beginners rope tow operating. There were snowcat rides to the top of Baldy on Sunday afternoons—$1.00 for the ride. In the early days, grooming was done by soft-packing with a culvert towed by a Nodwell snowcat. Once when the snowcat broke down, all the local kids were recruited to ski pack one run.
In the mid-eighties, the original owners were aging, and some prospective purchasers failed to complete. After a missed season with an unsuccessful deal before the courts, Borderline Ski Club then leased the operation from the original owners. The club ran a bare-bones operation with new skiers unloading at Tower 3 on the Baldy lift. The McKinney Tee re-opened after the club had been operating for a few years.
The T-bar was purchased from Westcastle, near Pincher Creek. The crew traveled to Alberta to dismantle it, constructed new wooden towers and had the “Baldy Tee” ready to open Boxing Day 1970.
The Mount Baldy Community purchased Mt. Washington’s (Vancouver Island) Blue Chair, and installed it in time for the 1999-2000 season.
The Sugarlump lift was installed for the 2007-2008 season. As well, the installation of a Magic Carpet was a vast improvement in teaching terrain. Sugarlump is a fixed-grip quad chairlift with a total uphill capacity of 750 persons per hour.
The recent purchase of Baldy Mountain Resort by an investment group in 2016, whose plan is to revitalize the resort with fiscal stability and long-term planning is just what the mountain needed.
