- Extraordinary in every way, we catch Mount Baldy's west face in absolutely perfect condition, staring right at Downtown Los Angeles. Can one run change your life? Yes. Yes, it can.
Shot with a GoPro Hero 7 Black (and a crappy iPhone)
How do you determine avalanche danger? Thanks in advance.
that is not an easy question to answer. I have been working on a project to get into how I make those decisions and assessments, in hopes sharing my processes might be useful to others. You might see some of that start appearing later this fall. thanks for asking!
Thanks for the videos. . .from southern B.C. here and enough awesome places around here to keep me busy but never thought you'd have these nice lines on some of the bigger mountains in SoCal. . .will have to bring my skiis next time I'm down around San Diego and L.A. in the winter and early spring months. . .
Great stuff
In my high school years, 75-77 used to ski Waterman off trail to the west/nothwest and come out on Angeles Crest Highway. 2, 3, sometimes 5 miles down. Then hitch a ride back up to do it again.
Skiers driving up would pick us up and ask where did we come from. We'd just say up there and point. We acted all nonchalant. It was great.
Last couple of decades hasn't seen the amount of snow we had back then.
Got that same experience in 99’-00’
Epic sugar powder!
Avalanche run. Oh yea. Those were the days.
Epic guys!
You do have to climb back up….BUT, at least you get to ski back down!…..and then walk back to the cars.
You did it again ! Beautiful long radius turns on virgin slopes . You capture the pure elation and stoke of skiing . All without quick editing and distracting unnecessary music . The narration is also very good . No goofy commentary . Wish I were there .
Very nice! My only nitpick is the use of the word “powder”. Really?
Almost sounded like “Morning Dew” or a mix btwn “The End” and “Morning Dew”
Exactly what I thought!
so rad dude!
Anyone doing some Corona-skiing? Avy danger should be low under 8.5k I assume? Thinking to go up tomorow or Friday for some mini runs in the San Gabriels.
Chris there's been a lot of weather out there. I would not assume things are stable. Given everything, my recommendation is to stay home for now.
@@AndyLewicky Thank you, that is the best choice. I will do that more than likely.
Awesome video Andy! I couldn't agree more, one run will change a life! Awesome terrain!
Great Videos! More snow coming in tonight.
This is the exact fucking video I was looking for bro thank you! Why does nothing come up on google if you type Los Angeles from my baldy I just wanted to see what LA looked like from there.
That stretch of slope beginning around 2:10 looks like the perfect ski experience, pocketed in that valley shape.
It is a truly amazing line.
Amazing. Looks like the next couple weeks should have lines like this with the storm blowing in. Did you skin up the fire road past the hut to the summit? And it looks like you didn't hike down that gully but went back up?
Fantastic, I gotta get up there before it's too late! Thanks for sharing this Andy, you are the real deal.
When did you this? April?

That is great. Hard to believe it is close to LA. How much vert was that?
We skied from the summit, which is 10,000', down to about 7300'.
Somebodies got to ski it, music, sick!
I want to be there every weekend
Another amazing video!
We need to mission some time!!!! Your the man!!!!!
Looks like fun!
EPIC!
Damn!
