Just wander over to and join SoCal Hikers and Peakbaggers at meetup.com. There are winter outings and some very interesting long day hikes in the summer.
Mt. Baldy is so uninteresting in the winter. You go up a bare slope with 50 of your nearest and dearest friends. However, it can be more than a bit entertaining watching the folks attempt it with Microspikes and trekking poles, then watching them glissade back down can be fun, too.
