Actually, I meant "great mountain" as is, which happens to be local
to us (in the Southern California area).  When it actually snows in
Southern California, Baldy seems to have the most skiable terrain
with the highest level of difficulty when compared to any other
Southern California ski resort.  Much of it reminds of Granite
Chief at Squaw.

Summit is great, but "The Wall" is just way too short and the
rating system (double black?) makes me laugh every time I ski
Summit.  But hey.. we gotta ski.  ;)
