Haha! I feel the same way about Snowbowl!Baldy is on my hit list one of these days. I am bummed I didn't get out that way with the good snow last winter. Big Bear too if I can avoid the crowds.
Did I repost my own photo? Attachment won't open.
Also a new car, so I think he's planning on working a little further into winter this year. If you're talking about Wide Open.Is he ready? New skis? New bibs?
Baldy is highly unlikely in December. In Big Bear, the resorts blow whenever possible. The issue is our weather. Even though we are a mountain town, we are quite far south and can remain warm well into December. I am not optimistic that we will have much open in early December..
Baldy and Waterman are worth it, but I agree with @Pat AKA mustski that early December is too early, sad to say. Snow Summit/Big Bear has some of the best snowmaking capabilities around, but if it's warm, they can't do much about it.Those are the places that are worth a visit.
