Mount Waterman
Mount Waterman is a ski area on Waterman Mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains of the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County, California. The area is located on California State Route 2, the Angeles Crest Highway, and reaches a height of with an overall vertical drop of . Mount Waterman is leased under a special use permit from the 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 at , warming hut, restrooms, ski school, ski patrol (first aid), ski rentals–though currently inactive–and a heliport halfway up the mountain.〔(Mt. Waterman )〕 Near the top there is a 5 million gallon, tadpole-filled reservoir for a future snowmaking system, and at the summit, there is a plateau with large boulders. Waterman has three double chairlifts to serve its ski trails. Mount Waterman currently has no snowmaking equipment.
There are steep backcountry ski trails on the east and northwest sides of the mountain, though skiing these trails is not recommended since it is not patrolled. During heavy El Niño snowfall in 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.
==History==
Much land in the San Gabriel Mountains was leased from the US Forest Service in 1888 to master trailblazer and cabin builder Louis Newcomb.〔(Newcomb's Ranch History )〕 The official name of the hill is Waterman Mountain. Robert B. Waterman was a pioneer mountain man and a ranger in the San Gabriel Forest Reserve. Waterman, together with his wife Liz and their friend Perry Switzer, completed a three week hike from La Cañada to the Antelope Valley and back again (May 1889). With this epic feat, Liz became the first white (non Indian) woman known to have crossed the San Gabriels. Along the way, she placed a cairn on this summit and it was thus christened Lady Waterman's Peak. However, then current attitudes toward the "weaker sex" didn't deem this a fitting name. The peak has subsequently been called by different variants, all of which leave out the "Lady". To his credit Robert Waterman made numerous futile efforts to have the full original name restored.
