Mt. Waterman Ski Area - California

Mt. Waterman Ski Area
Mount Waterman

Enjoy Southern California's oldest and closest mountain resort for skiing and snowboarding located just a short drive from Los Angeles.

Driven by a passion and love for Mount Waterman Rick Metcalf stepped up to the plate and saved the day. It was the summer of 2004. The forest service was going to remove all the equipment from the hill and restore this historical mountain back to the National Forest. He immediately contacted four Waterman enthusiasts, Craig Stewart, Brien Metcalf, Robin Hoffner and Roberto Martinez. They formed Mount Waterman LLC and began to transform the mountain into the great skiing and snowboarding mountain that it is known to be. It is a local's paradise, with the most challenging runs south of the Sierras. With three chairs and over 100 runs there is plenty of beginner and intermediate terrain.

While you're on Mt Waterman warm yourself up in our newly renovated warming hut, located mid-mountain at the top of chair number one in Waterman Village.
