"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Super Bowl Sunday StormI've done several snow climbs of the bowl, the last being during white-out conditions and severe winds at the top with Taco Del Rio, Travis and Tom Becht. Memorable day with a fabulous group of guys.

Baldy BowlThe bowl was in great shape with well consolidated snow. Went right up the center. Plenty of blue ice under the snow near the top. Mild temperatures with deep blue skies. Great way to spend the day!

in a storm with a good bunch of guysThey figured our odds were slim to make it to the summit, but I was optimistic and we persevered.
Here is our Trip Report.

First Time up the bowlYesterday was our first time climbing up the bowl. From the ski hut we took the most center route up the bowl. Not to dangerous, but definitely a workout! The stairmaster at the gym definitely pays off for something like that.
Extremely windy on the summit but very worth the climb.

Great FunNice little snow climb. Lots of skiiers, and evidence of snowslides, but had no problems. Gets hot in the bowl when the sun is out.

Baldy Bowl(ing Alley)Within a week of 2 nasty accidents in the Bowl, I took my chances on a solo daytrip. View from summit obscured thanks to LA smog but the climb up the Bowl was worth the trip; great consolidated snow, would hate to try this without it.
