New Mt Baldy Program Offers Unlimited Skiing
Review excerpt
Mt Baldy Ski Lifts announced they have introduced a unique Membership Program. With monthly dues of $19.97 members will never have to purchase lift tickets but have unlimited year-round access to the mountain.
“This program was developed because many of our skiers and snowboarders couldn’t afford, due to economic conditions, the lump sum payment for a season pass. Everybody can afford $19.97 a month and receive more value for their money, ” states Ron Ellingson President of Mt Baldy Ski Lifts.
Mt Baldy is minutes north of Upland and Claremont off the 210 freeway. It is the closest ski resort to most of Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire and all of Orange and San Diego Counties. Mt Baldy Ski Lifts is open during the summer on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays for scenic rides, hiking and mountain biking. Dining is available at the Top of the Notch Restaurant located at the top of the chairlift.
“With the Mt Baldy Membership programs customers will never have to purchase a lift ticket again. In essence customers are getting all the benefits of both a winter and summer season pass with monthly dues of $19.97. That’s it!”
“As long as a member is good standing and current with dues, they get unlimited skiing, snowboarding and scenic rides in the summer.”
“To our knowledge this program is unique and not offered by any other ski area.”
Two seasons ago, in addition to increasing their snowmaking capabilities, Mt Baldy pioneered the “virtual season pass” program that offered skiers and snowboarders deep discounts on season passes. Unlike full season pass holders a physical season passes are not issued and ski reservations are required 24 hours in advance.
Virtual season passes are still offered by Mt Baldy Ski Lifts and still available until opening day of the ski season.
Ellingson continues, “A limited number of Charter memberships are being offered for a limited time with all activation fees waived. Membership just requires the initial payment of the first two months and then ongoing monthly billing of debit or credit card. That’s it!”
“Unlike membership programs elsewhere, there’s no legalese and no long term commitments. Membership are month to month and may be cancelled at any time. Simply put, if monthly dues are paid, the customer gets complete year round access to the mountain. “
“We believe this program is revolutionary in the ski industry and it wouldn’t surprise us if other ski areas nationwide follow suit to help make year round recreation more affordable,” concludes Ellingson.
