About the Ski resort
|
|
Mount Waterman is a skiable area in the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County, California. It is located on the State Route 2 (aka Angeles Crest Highway) It reaches a height of 8,030 feet, has an overall vertical drop of 1,030 feet. Mt. Waterman is leased under a Special Use permit from the US Forest Service.The area is Unincorporated rural Los Angeles County
Mt. Waterman is not really a resort, but a ski area.
Mt. Waterman facilities include a ticket booth at the base near the Hwy (6,900'), Warming Hut (with a small restarant), restrooms, Ski School, Ski Patrol (First Aid), Ski rentals and a heliport, halfway up the mountain. Near the top there is a 5 million gallon (tadpole filled) reservior for a future snow-making system and at the summit(8,036') there is a plateau with large boulders. Waterman has 3 double chairlifts to serve its ski runs. Mt. Waterman has no snowmaking equipment.
Vehicle access for the skiing public is via State Route 2. During non-snow months, vehicle access to the ski area's buildings at the top of the advanced/expert face runs is available via a dirt logging road from Hwy. 2 by-passing the ticket booth winding through the forest for 3/4 mile. This old logging road ends at the warming hut, though it is not open to public vehicles.
There are popular, steep backcountry ski trails on the west side of the mountain, though skiing these trails is not recommend since it is not patrolled. During El Niņo 1998 County Sheriff ticketed some backcountry skiers who entered these areas. Several skiers and snowboarders went missing and had to be rescued that year.
