Claremont may have had four days of constant rain, but at mountain elevations there has been up to two feet of snow, making this one of the best ski seasons in Southern California in years. So we ventured up Baldy Road to see what was going on in the San Gabriel Mountains. Be prepared for slippery roads—especially in shady areas—traffic and freezing temperatures since our weather will remain cold for next week, if not longer. Feels like a real winter in Claremont!
