Resort Descriptions  
 

Mountain High is home to not one, but three distinguished resorts.  Even though they are only a mile apart, they offer stunning differences in both terrain and atmosphere.

West Resort: The West Resort is filled with a seemingly endless assortment of technical trails and skillfully-designed terrain features for progressive riders and skiers of all skill levels. It is the most youthful of the three areas and the site of many on-hill contests, promotions and live performances. It is also Southern California's only local resort open seven nights a week.

East Resort: The East Resort boasts the longest trails in Southern California serviced by a single high-speed quad.  It is also known for its thrilling moguls, gladed tree skiing areas and breathtaking views of the Mojave Desert. Rising as high as 8,200 feet, the East Resort offers traditional skiers and snowboarders a true alpine experience without having to journey far from home.

North Resort: Mountain High offers a third resort with 70 acres of tubing and beginner terrain for families and introductory skiers. Formerly Ski Sunrise, Mountain High North is located directly across from the West Resort and operates on weekends and holidays, peak season.

 
On-Mountain Services  
  Free Shuttles: Mountain High offers parking at each of its base areas with free shuttle service. Shuttles run continuously from 8:00am to 6:00pm, seven days a week during the season.
 
Positioning Statement
  Mountain High is Southern California's most popular winter resort. Just 75 minutes from Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the area welcomes its guests with three distinctly different mountains and a wide variety of lifts and trails. Each base area is complete with ticket windows, restaurants, rentals, lessons, sport shops, and more. Though you can't see it from the base area, the East Resort stretches 1.6 miles up into the mountains offering some of the best cruising trails and powder runs in the region. At the West Resort you'll find an equally impressive mountain loaded with both technical terrain and wide-open beginner areas.  And for families, the North Resort is the perfect place with 70 acres of beginner terrain and the North Pole Tubing Park.
