Believe it or not, there are a good many ski areas in Southern California, and Mountain High Ski Area is by far the most popular of them all.

Located high in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County (from 6,600 to 8,200 feet above sea level), the Mountain High Ski Resort is split into three different areas:

• Mountain High East Resort
• Mountain High West Resort
• Mountain High North Resort

Together they make up one of the oldest ski resorts in the entire country. If you were to buy a lift ticket at any of the areas (East, West, or North), it would be good for all three resorts, allowing you as much skiing variety as you could possibly wish for.

The West area of the Mountain High Ski Resort (previously known as Blue Ridge) is the most popular, offering one of the country’s biggest, best, and most fun Terrain parks for snowboarders and freestyle skiers.

Mountain High Ski Resort East is geared more toward alpine skiers looking to make their leisurely ways down longer and more open runs.

North Mountain High Ski Area is dedicated to the beginner and intermediate skier, with moderate slopes and lots of family snowplay areas.

And if you’re not a skier, but still like to get out in the snow and have some fun, you should check out the North Pole Tubing Park located, appropriately enough, in the North section of the Mountain High Ski Area. This area is devoted strictly to those who like inner-tubing down long slopes. It’s great fun for the entire family.
