For my first time out snowboarding without my friends and going at it alone I could not have selected to a better place to go to. And $35 for a half day...you can't find a better bargain! Thanks to the Sunday edition of the L A Times for running an article on Mt. Waterman. It is a gem for L A to have.

Never been to Mt. Waterman and I had a question

How do you get from the number one lift to the number two lift. Seems like a rather silly question I know but I've never been there and can't tell from the trail map and was wondering if you could tell me. Thanks.

Get from Lift #1 to #2

Basically, when you get off Ch1, you go pretty much straight and bear a bit skier's left, and there is a mellow fire road which winds down to Ch2.
