Mount Baldy

Mount Baldy is a beloved four season mountain resort located just a short drive from Oliver in the South Okanagan region of British Columbia. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, uncrowded slopes, and spectacular alpine scenery, Mount Baldy offers a true hidden gem experience for outdoor enthusiasts. In the winter, it transforms into a snowy paradise with powder filled runs, tree skiing, snowshoeing, and a friendly ski village that feels welcoming to families, locals, and visitors alike. The mountain’s smaller size and affordable passes make it especially popular with those who value a genuine community oriented ski experience rather than a large commercial resort.

When the snow melts, Mount Baldy reveals a completely different beauty. Summer brings lush meadows, fresh mountain air, and endless trails for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. The elevation offers cooler temperatures, making it a refreshing escape from the valley’s summer heat. Many residents of Oliver and surrounding communities head to the mountain to enjoy camping, picnicking, and panoramic views that stretch across the Okanagan Valley and into the rugged Similkameen. The area also supports a small but passionate year round community that enjoys the peace and natural beauty of mountain living.
