  • Mount Waterman is a ski area on Waterman Mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains (Angeles National Forest) of Los Angeles County, California. It is located on the State Route 2, the Angeles Crest Highway. It reaches a height of 8,030 feet, has an overall vertical drop of 1,030 feet. Mount Waterman is leased under a Special Use permit from the US Forest Service. Skiable terrain is distributed as: 20% beginner terrain, 20% intermediate, and 60% advanced. Mount Waterman facilities include a ticket booth at the base near Hwy 2 (6,900'), warming hut (with a small restaurant), restrooms, ski school, ski patrol (first aid), ski rentals and a heliport, halfway up the mountain. Near the top there is a 5-million-gallon tadpole-filled reservoir for a future snowmaking system, and at the summit (8,036') there is a plateau with large boulders. Waterman has 3 double chairlifts to serve its ski runs. Mount Waterman has no snowmaking equipment. Vehicle access for the skiing public is via State Route 2. During non-snow months, vehicle access to the ski area's buildings at the top of the advanced/expert face runs is available via a dirt logging road past the ski lift (East of Hwy. 2 winding through the forest for 1 mile. This old logging road ends at the warming hut, though it is not open to public vehicles. There are popular, steep backcountry ski trails on the east side of the mountain, though skiing these trails is not recommended since it is not patrolled. During El Niño 1998 the County Sheriff ticketed some backcountry skiers who entered these areas. Several skiers and snowboarders went missing and had to be rescued that year. 1 mile down the road from Mount Waterman is the Buckhorn Ski Club.
