Bald Mountain Ski Area is a modest ski area in north central Idaho, located 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Pierce in Clearwater County. The area first opened in January 1960, with a cotton rope tow powered by a gasoline engine.[1][2] Originally for employees of the Potlatch Corporation (forest products) in the village of Headquarters, it opened to the public in the 1960s.[3][4][5]
The summit elevation is 4,400 feet (1,341 m) above sea level, with a vertical drop of 684 feet (208 m).[6] The north-facing slopes are served by two surface lifts: a T-bar and a rope tow, and the main lodge and parking area are at mid-mountain. The area is open only on weekends and the average snowfall is 100 inches (250 cm).[4] The T-bar made its debut in late January 1969,[1][7] and the A-frame lodge was built in 1971.[8]
This ski area is independent of the much larger Bald Mountain, the primary ski mountain at Sun Valley, a major ski resort in southern Idaho's Blaine County.
