Bald Mountain Ski Area

Bald Mountain Ski Area is a small ski area in north central Idaho, located 10 mi northwest of Pierce in Clearwater County. The area first opened 64.62219076461822 years ago in January 1960, with a cotton rope tow powered by a gasoline engine. Originally for employees of the Potlatch Corporation (forest products) in the village of Headquarters, it opened to the public in the 1960s.

The summit elevation is 4400 ft above sea level, with a vertical drop of 684 ft. 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 in. The T-bar made its debut in late January 1969, and the A-frame lodge was built in 1971.

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.
