Mountain High Resort, located just 90 minutes from Los Angeles, is Southern California's closest winter destination. It offers three interconnected resorts, each equipped with lessons, rentals, restaurants, and shops. A single lift ticket grants access to all three areas, with free shuttles available for easy transportation between them. The resort is popular among families and locals alike, providing a fun and accessible snow experience. Visitors appreciate the friendly staff and the variety of runs suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced skiers and snowboarders. The snow conditions are generally good, with fresh powder that makes skiing enjoyable, especially for beginners. The resort features well-groomed slopes and terrain parks that cater to snowboarders and skiers, offering a mix of ramps and features for different skill levels. Parking options include a paid lot close to the lodge, with additional free parking available, though some visitors find the paid parking convenient. Facilities like clean bathrooms and rental shops enhance the experience. While some reviews mention that chair lifts could use maintenance and food prices are high, many guests find the overall experience to be fun and worth the trip. Mountain High remains a great spot for families, locals, and winter sports enthusiasts seeking a quick, enjoyable getaway with easy access and a variety of terrain.
Skiing was great. I was able to get 3 days in after the recent storms. Had some seriously long waiting in the lift line and for the shuttle on day 2. I think they are very understaffed due to the lack of snow this winter. Glad to get 3 days in amd hope for another storm before the season ends.

Very crowded. Took almost an hour to drive the last 20 miles. Cars were parked along the road everywhere above the snow line. Parking was very full and had to use paid ($30) parking

Spent a weekend at this mountain resort, and it was pure bliss. The scenery was breathtaking, and the activities were fun. The staff made us feel welcome, and the rooms were cozy and clean.
