The line of cars to the Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts stretched for miles down the mountain on Sunday, January 3. But that didn’t stop a mass of humanity from charging up Mt. Baldy Road around noon to play, picnic and ski. The weather in the Baldy area was warm, hovering to 50 degrees, with mostly sunny skies. If you are interested in skiing the slopes, I would do it sooner than later given the rapid snow melt. In the Claremont area next week, plan on sunny skies with high temperatures in the 60s, lows in the 40s. There is no chance of rain even in the long range forecast. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
