Things To Do

Ride, zip, hike, eat and stay. A whole mountain, an hour from the city.

Scenic Chairlift

Ride the Sugar Pine chair to Top of the Notch at 7,800 feet. On clear days the view stretches from the Inland Empire to the Pacific.

Grab a hot meal or a cold beer at the Notch, wander the trails and ride back down whenever you're ready.

Zip Line

Ready to fly? Our zip line runs high above the Notch and is built to deliver real g-forces.

Because of that, there are age and medical restrictions, and we may refuse service if we're concerned for your safety.

Hiking

Take the chair up and explore from the Notch, or hike the 4-mile trail from the base. In summer, Chair 4 gives easy access to the Devil's Backbone Trail toward the summit.

  • Dogs are welcome on the trails on a leash, but not on the chairlift
  • No hiking in our permitted area during alpine conditions
  • Stay on marked trails and check the weather before you go

Ski, Ride & Snow Play

When the snow comes, Baldy is SoCal's real mountain: natural terrain, four chairs and views over the clouds. Snow tubing and snow play keep the kids busy.
