We were up in late February of this year, and by the end of the trip, somewhere over 1/2 of the guests got sick. As we were leaving, the health inspectors were coming in to review everything that Baldface was doing to clean up. As far as I understand, they have had several people in to help them out with managing the cleanliness at the lodge and are implementing plans to prevent the same problems in future years. Baldface posted <a href="http://www.baldface.net/" rel="nofollow">an update</a> on the front page of their site this week about the virus. It will likely show up in the <a href="http://www.baldface.net/news/" rel="nofollow">news</a> section of their web site in the future. Yes.

There are a lot of runs through trees, as well as open powder fields and forested cut-blocks that are skied as well. It's certainly not glacier skiing, or all open bowls. I've been to Baldface 5 years running, and the terrain has been interesting enough, along with a great staff (!) to keep me coming back. My suggestion for any expert skiers or snowboarders planning to go to ask for an expert-level group when making a reservation. I have not been to any other operations. I've heard a lot of reviews (positive and negative) of others, but don't remember each off-hand. I’d suppose about 1/3 of the terrain I’ve skied at Baldface is above treeline.

How much of the terrain at Baldface is above treeline/alpine? Have you snowcat skied elsewhere? Recommendations? Hope this isn't a bother.
