Resort Roars Back After Major Christmas Flood Event

Mountain High Resort in Wrightwood is preparing for its grand reopening this Saturday, January 11th, after suffering extensive damage from a severe winter storm on December 23-24. The storm brought 12 inches of rain in just 12 hours, causing flooding that impacted 92 structures in Wrightwood and washed out roads and power. Resort employees have been working continuously since the event to restore operations.

The resort is ready for a full reopening with five lifts and five trails operational, positioning it with the most open terrain in Southern California currently. Additional trails are expected to be added soon, providing ample opportunities for skiers and snowboarders.

For those who prefer snow play over skiing, the dedicated snow play area is scheduled to open in one week, on Saturday, January 17th. This ensures a variety of winter activities will be available at Mountain High following the storm's recovery.
