Baldy Village trail network receives hiking and snowshoe upgrades

The Baldy Mountain Community Association (BMCA) has announced upgrades to the hiking and snowshoe trail network on the east side of Baldy Village, located approximately 45 minutes east of Oliver. The improvements include the installation of maps and color-coded trail markers around the Sugar Lump Chair area to enhance safety and navigation for both regular users and newcomers.

The project was supported by a grant from the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC and completed through 168 hours of volunteer labor from local residents. Additionally, two new trails, named ‘Sugar Top’ and ‘Frog Bog’, have been established within the village.

While the trails are adjacent to the Mount Baldy Ski Resort, the BMCA noted they are not part of the resort and are not patrolled. Users are advised to expect a ‘backcountry’ experience and are encouraged to respect the natural environment.
