Mountain High Winter Sports School is top notch. Super patient and effective instructors. The day I went with my 4 year old, it was a relatively low crowd day and warm (70 F). My daughter's first time on a snowboard and the snow was a success thanks to the skill and professionalism of Instructor Trevor D. Her two hour lesson flew by thanks to his ability to make the activity interesting, low-stakes, and super fun! I highly recommend private lessons for the smaller kids here especially since they are 1:1. On another note, the runs that day were well-groomed and decent conditions for an afternoon. There's a current flex lift ticket deal where for each adult ticket a child ticket is complimentary is a sweet deal. While you do have to pay $30 for main parking lot at West Resort, much of the quality and excellent service has held up. The dirt lot before the main ramp is still free. You just have to walk up the hill or take the stairs. read more

This was my first visit to Mt. High this year, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I came on a busy Saturday right after back-to-back SoCal storms, so I expected the resort to be packed -- and it was -- but it honestly didn't feel prepared for the crowd. One of the most-used lifts on the west side wasn't working, which caused a lot of congestion. Traffic getting into the resort was rough, and the transport buses from the east to west parking lots weren't operating. There was no announcement about this, so my friends ended up walking from east to west parking, which was frustrating. On top of that, we experienced a fireplace being out of gas. They eventually got it lit, but by that time it was late, really cold, and we were about to head out because our lift tickets had expired. Overall, the resort has potential, but I felt unprepared for the crowd and the logistics were poorly communicated. Hopefully, they can improve operations and better handle busy days in the future. read more

Arrived at 10 am. Still love it . My kids first time snow boarding. Rental and lift tickets all online, including waiver. Fast friendly service to get the rental and they showed us how to put the snowboard on. We still get a seat at the cafetaria. Cool. Restrooms are okay. We kept going in and out of the store buying stuff coz its our retail therapy and we wanted to get some memorabilias. We bought total of 2 snow jackets (Dankin, Roxi), 1 Mt High sweater, 2 goggles, 4 face neck covers , 6 keychains. There were 4 employees, 2 women, 2 men. 1 of the men was a total d**k. When I bought the first pair of goggle the other male staff helped me find a different style for my son for the same price range. The second time I went back to get the second pair of goggle for my daughter, it was the other male staff who was super inpatient kept saying "theres no other one for her size," upset body language when I asked to cut the tag off and yelled "I can help the next one" before I was even done paying. Geez. Why you worked there I wouldnt even know. This passive aggressive poor customer service was a definite minus 2 stars. When I went to the ski patrol, inside was warmed and friendly stuff. I asked for my daughter to be helped going down the hill and they helped her with a sled. This was the solid 5 stars. Closer to 230 pm lots of drunk young men even fell on the ground in the cafetaria with his group laughing cursing obnoxiously to each other. No staff said nothing. Restrooms were absolutely disgusting at this point. It was snow storm. We were headed out by 3 pm and my Sienna, in the handicap parking space, was stuck. We parked in the $30 lot. The snow truck plowing all the snow in front of my car, and someone else parked behind my car. It was actively snow storming, and my son wanted to borrow shovel, and they took my phone as a guarantee we will returned the shovel. I saw other cars also struggling . My kids pushed the car and finally we were able to get out. Conclusion, dont go in snow storm, and I would stand up to that annoying staff in the store and told him off. read more

Such a good ski resort! The lift tickets are still pricey but much cheaper compared to Big Bear/Snow Summit. There's a lot of open space, decent food and bev options, and seating for the usual crowd. I visited during President's Day Weekend and was surprised at the crowd turnout. I went to Big Bear in January and felt like a sardine squished in crowds all day. The online ordering was also very easy and lockers are super accessible. My only recommendation is to come before opening so you can get a spot at the West Resort and don't have to take the shuttle to the East Resort. Parking is $20 cash/card which isn't terrible. read more

A very long time doing administrative tasks before getting to ski. Bought ticket online beforehand. At resort, incorrectly got in a very slow line to get ski rental because in the past you could buy the ski rental in the same location you get fitted. In fact you need to buy rental online first or walk to separate kiosk to buy. Leave rental line to wait in kiosk line, buy rental, return to slow rental line. Website said there would be yeti snow play thanksgiving weekend. In fact there is no snow play thanksgiving weekend. I understand it's because some snow melted which obviously they have no control over. But why proclaim unequivocally that something will happen when it may not? Have been here at ski resort 50 minutes. Still have 30-45 more minutes to wait in rental line. I need to remind my future self that I hate this mickey mouse understaffed unorganized place. Update: total of 2 hours after arriving at resort, we were able to start skiing. Also, they don't provide any zip ties nor any other means with which to attach your lift ticket to your jacket. read more

Staff is friendly but the lift problems today ruined the fun. They didn't open until almost 11 and magic carpet was closed all day for the day. I assume it was due to the snow but aren't you built for this. read more

Fun place, Overpriced on food and drinks of course. Very limited selection of beer. Was over charged. Was given 1 receipt for 1 transaction for 6 tickets. Bank statement shows 2 transactions. Disputing transaction for sure! read more

Music at the bar gets too loud you can't even hear the bartender. Staff are nice and friendly

Lifts are outdated and they never open right at opening time. Been here 5+ times and they have only opened on time once.

Their customer service is horrible. Their employees are rude and unhelpful!! The snow conditions are terrible this season. They should not be open! Their prices went up season 25 even though the snow conditions were horrible. Overall, I give this place a 2.5 out of 10. Drive a little more, and you'll find yourself up in Big Bear with better snow conditions. read more

I have just been there today (1/22/23). And WOW!!! It was sooo busy. Parking was full, before and after the resort, the road were flooded with cars. Although I didn't see skiers and snowboarders, I saw kids sledding and more kids coming to join them. I saw some merchants selling their food along the road and they were all over. For me, that's not bad as long as they are allowed. As I am sure the food prices inside the resort are very high. I would definitely come back when it isn't busy. I took pictures and we just drove around a little bit. read more

As a long time season pass holder, I can promise you that this season is the last season I will ever be coming to mountain high. This resort does not remotely care about its costumers. MOST IMPORTANTLY: They do not care to manage their trails AT ALL. The containment lines from the recent fire are unmarked and everywhere and I have been hurt 3 times now from different trenches. They do nothing to keep the mountain from getting choppy, no hand plows and no pre night boarding plowing at all. Not to mention they have rocks, branches, and 5 foot tall sections of grass and shrub sticking through the snow on open runs. How hard could it be to take a weedwacker up there before the snow comes? Two people could clean this small mountain in 2 8-hour shifts if they walked it on foot. The workers complain to me about how bad the pay is and how they can never hope for a raise. Most of the workers have terrible attitudes because of this. I got blocked on Instagram for asking if there would be any price decrease for renewal since this season just started at the end of January. Also $85 for a night boarding ticket is ludicrous when there is essentially 2 runs. But they do a great job of hiding that by naming each gap between 2 trees as another run so they can act like they have a ton of open trails. TLDR: Don't give this investment group your money. Drive the extra hour and give your money to big bear, at least they provide decent runs. read more

We only went up the ski lift and did the tubing but I heard they have skiing as well snowboarding possibilities. The ski lift to the top was beautiful and relaxing. It's of course colder on the top but they offer warm drinks and food at the top. The view is impressive and it was such a perfect day. The tubing on the other hand I would say needs more organization so that it moved faster. The two lines, one to get the tube and one to go up the hill seemed repetitive and unnecessary. If you have a line to just move the tubes up the hill so that people just go up one hill and that's all makes the lines go faster and people would move faster. Enjoying the tubing experience is what you're paying for but we took one hour from start to finish and it made us not want to go again. So yes, that's my only complaint about the whole experience. read more

Initially getting to the rental location had a full lot so we had to park at the lower location and take the shuttle up which ate into the amount of time for skiing and snowboard. What would've helped a little for my noob experience of understanding which of the three lifts went to which elevation which my dumb soul went to medium difficulty without realizing it on rented skis with zero knowledge of how to ski so I had a bad time even with future cousin in law trying to teach me. End up getting rescued by a snow mobile staff! God bless you sir lol! Was about to continue walking down the slope from the middle of the mountain. Ended up switching to snowboarding because I'd had one previous experience snowboarding which thank goodness this place allows for one switch and that switch of gear made the difference in overall experience with enjoyment. I was able to relearn snowboarding on the carpet ramp up to the kiddie slope and then get a few good runs on the easy snowflake lift 3 before calling it a day. Note to newcomers: Right side carpet is best to start, then to the left of that slightly up the slope is lift 3 which is the easy slopes. So the difficulty as it stands is from the right to left is easiest to hardest which is also lowest elevation from the right to the left is the highest elevation. read more

When I was a CA resident prior to 2012, I frequented Mt High, going between 5 or more times depending on the snow each season brought. While visiting 3/1/2016, I was lucky to get some snowboarding action in, but never got to go back since because of the CA drought. I finally made it out again just last week, 4/14/2024. I was lucky enough to be on the mountain as it moderately snowed the entire time until closing. I have come to remember why I frequented Mt High. From the easy drive, with probably the lightest traffic, to the great staff, and even the fellow skiers and snowboarders on the slopes. My visit started off with me losing my brand new Insta360 at the base, likely when I bent over to bind up. Helmet and all gear on, it was hard to hear or sense much. I had not realized until I got on the slope as I looked for it to film. I was extremely bummed but thought to myself, "Oh well, it's my Birthday Weekend, so I'm not letting it get me down. I'll just buy another one." I got down the mountain and told my wife, she went to Lost & Found as I went up again, I got a text saying they had it at Lost & Found! Funny thing is, I lost a glove getting on the lift this time, but when I got off the lift, a guy was yelling at me trying to get my attention. I turn around and he had my glove! I'm telling you, I am so out of practice being all bundled up when I used to board shorts and sunglasses. I was blessed with great snowboarding conditions and surrounded by a great community of snowboarders. read more

It was my first time here and my first-time skiing too. Overall I had a good time, and I had fun. The place is not prepared much if you ski off the snow; there are no wall, some trees has blankets around, some doesn't. Even I saw a hole in the area that was just covered with red net like that can stop anyone... The instructor we had was helpful but got into an argument with my friend; while I understood her frustration, she acted childish, and there was no need for all that. Lastly, they tied my boots so tight that I got blisters on my hill! When I told the girl, it kind of hurt, and she told me it was normal and added that I could break my ankle if it were loose. Of course, I was scared to break my ankle so I bared the pain for 5 hours... Next time ill do my boots myself. read more

Had the absolute best experience this past weekend at Mt High taking a ski lesson with our amazing instructor Tanya (go gators!) Tanya and all of the instructor staff were not only extremely welcoming but friendly and encouraging during our two hour lesson. We had only skied once before with no formal lesson so wanted to really learn the fundamentals and improve. Tanya was SO encouraging and patient with us every step of the way. She truly made our day and we had the best time! Thank you to the Mt. High staff for making our day one to remember! read more

Whoever the woman who handles desk needs to be spoken to. She is extremely rude to customers. I've watched on several occasions as she threatens or actually does revoke people passes. It's a wild power trip. A lot of these complaints are valid when they approach her but her fuse is clearly short. She either is going through personal issues or really hates her job. Either way, she needs a hug and better attitude. Overall the place is great for a quick ski trip with the kids, so long as you don't go to the desk! read more

All these years, I have put off coming to Mountain High to snowboard because of all the inferior reviews from friends and online forums. However, upon spending the day here, I actually enjoyed it more than the Big Bear Resort. The drive to this location was so much easier: no winding roads! We live in West LA and were able to get there in less than 2 hours (so you could easily make a day trip here and go back home on the same day!). There was plenty of parking and if the main resort's parking was full, there's a parking lot 1 mile away and you could take the shuttle to the resort! Additionally, I have read somewhere that the snow tends to be thin here and that it's very icy . Admittedly, when we were there, the snow wasn't thick, but it was definitely not icy! In terms of difficulty, I thought the beginner friendly tracks were enjoyable. The more advanced tracks were also clearly labeled as "not for beginners". As for the lift tickets and equipment rentals, I suggest you do that online and then make sure to keep your tickets for future visits ($10 discount per person if you keep the used tickets; they are rechargeable). Overall, I definitely recommend Mountain High Resort if you don't want to deal with long drives and don't mind the thin snow (you'll still be able to enjoy skiing or snowboarding here regardless!). read more

A couple a days we brought our boyz here for snow play... our little hidden gem North Pole tubbing park. It is high on the right side of Wrightwood. Before Covid they had an awesome inner tube play area. Unfortunately, we've been here several times during and after Covid, and have not seen inner tubing opened. Even thought mount Baldy, so only 30 minutes away from home, Mt.Baldy is not a place for snow play because of crowds, unless you go up higher for snowboarding. And this is the reason we loved Wrightwood. This year with all the rain, and snow we've had, we truly thought North Pole tubbing would be open, but nope.... Wondering why not. The snow play by the lifts it is always so crowded, and maybe I'm just to old now ... but if it isn't Disneyland, I don't like to deal with over crowding if I don't have to. Luckily we have our own snow toys, and tubbing, so we were able to enjoy the tons of snow during spring . read more

Been coming here for more than 20 years now. A lot of things have changed here over that period, namely the ticketing system and the prices, but some things still remain the same. Mountain High boasts itself as the closest ski resort in LA with no nausea inducing mountain driving. You can't debate that. What it can also dubiously claim is that it has the longest lines as well. That hasn't changed one bit. Got here to the East Resort on a day before new year's and as expected, it was crowded. They have an online ticketing system now where you can purchase a ticket and redeem the lift card at a kiosk at the resort. No more waiting in line to get your lift passes. Here's the rub, though: it appears that they oversell tickets because it always is way too crowded here. So, you are going to be waiting no matter what. This has been a problem for years. Compounding the issue is that since they now charge an absurd $20 for parking, some just park outside the resort and on the shoulder. Good luck getting an ambulance through that mess quickly. We arrived at 8 a.m. as the site says it opened at 8:30. Got in the long line like we were supposed to. By the time we got off the lift for our first run of the day, it was 10:15 already. Why did it take so long? First, the staff was still busy scraping the snow off of the only lift running, the quad, while people were waiting in line. So the line just kept building and building. Additionally, they were loading up drinks and beer onto the lift to get it up to the top lodge. Now, why couldn't they have done that before opening? Why do it when the resort is already open and people have already paid the 100-plus dollars for a ticket? A guy in line was voicing his complaint to one of the ski patrol staff standing around. What was the staffer's incredulous reply? "Wah, wah, wah!" Really professional, dude. How about you just apologize for cutting into our ski time for starters instead of thumbing your nose at all of us? Once we got on the lift, there was about a 15-minute delay a quarter of the way up. This was an occuring theme throughout the day as the lift would suddenly stop on every ride - sometimes for a couple minutes and other times longer. There's a few reasons why this happens, and most are unavoidable (someone spills at the end, maintenance issues, etc.). But what is troubling is the amount of people taking rides down the lift with no skis or boards. Some were even toddlers and their parents going up for a joy ride it seems. This is a big reason why the lifts slow down. It's because they have to load up the non skiers! Why are they even allowing that? It disrupts the flow! Also, nobody monitors the turnstiles. Obviously, that can be a good and bad thing. Anyway, I'm glad Mountain High isn't the only resort in socal. There are other options like Mt. Baldy and Big Bear that run things more efficiently. read more

Mountain High Resort - Long lines as usual - Ski Resorts Near Me - Wrightwood, California

I literally learned how to snowboard on this mountain when I was 10 years old and went here for about a decade. Stop coming after awhile of just exploring other mountains and doing a lot of traveling. Fast forward to today 2/18/25 I'm now 35 with a 2 year old girl that I wanted to be nostalgic and bring her back her to "PLAY" in the snow and show her where daddy learned to snowboard. Upon entering the rude parking staff said NO SNOW PLAY ALLOWED, there's the Exit! I was mind blown. If that's truly the rule then I'm sorry Mountain but I will NEVER be coming back or recommending this mountain ever again. That's insane that you can't play in the snow. Ya of course I won't be going snowboarding by myself and leaving my 2 year old daughter alone. Especially after all the local fires and practically having this entire ski resort burnt down with crappy snow all season I'd expect or at least hope they'd want all the business they can get. Haven't you people ever heard of beer and liquor sales as well as food. I could still contribute to being great stimulating business in many other ways besides just ski/snowboarding. You people are idiots. Best of Lucky but I don't see this mountain staying open for long. read more

Great spot for first time beginners and kids . We had an exciting time with our family as we did for the first time snowboarding and skiing ! I have to give a shout out and a great big thank you to Bri who was my grandsons ski teacher she was simply amazing patient kind and fun . I appreciate her efforts . My grandson was scared and she kept the lesson fun and exciting . Next thank you to Brandon and I believe Brent who helped with parking and going back and forth . They were so helpful with me. I had a large group and they helped me navigate parking. The restaurant staffs were also very nice and professional . It was just a great day . I highly recommend Mountain High ! And it's close to LA ! Melanie Bradford read more

Don't come on anything beyond a mildly busy day. I came on a Friday after it snowed/rained on Thursday. It was horrible. They don't have enough shuttles nor parking. It will take you additional hours to get to and from the lifts. I arrived in Wrightwood and started lining up in the resort traffic at 9:10 am. The main parking lot I usually use was already full. I didn't get on my first lift until after 12:00 pm. They divert you to park at the East parking lot, which is a mile away and then they shuttle you back. The problem is that they only have one mid-size shuttle bus that holds about 20 people. In the morning, they tried to supplement with a 4Runner and a Suburban to drive a few people at a time. The parking lot attendant had the gall to say that there are hundreds of people waiting for the shuttle and that it'll take a couple of hours, then proceeded to ask for $20 for the privilege to park a mile and 2 hours away from my destination. Many people walked the mile with their ski/snowboard boots on and gear in hand. Shuttling back to the parking lot in the evening was another 1 hour wait in the cold after you are already tired. No 4Runner and Suburban in the pm. I have always found Mt. High to get the job done for a day trip to get your snow fix, but have never experienced this shuttle situation. Don't know if I will come back after this experience. read more

So I'm pretty new to snowboarding so take this review with a grain of salt. My main issue is how much they charge for lift tickets here. It is not a resort, and the snow is rarely fresh which means it's all pumped and groomed. The views are pretty but not spectacular. It's fantastic for beginners. So many greens and easy lift lines. There is an outdoor patio and grills and bar which I actually love. Fire pit tables too. Parking is a little unclear and I wouldn't pay lol. I just parked like a smidge down from the main lot for free. The rental options were limited (for my dad not me) but they did the job. It's pretty close and easily accessible instead of going alllll the way to Big Bear. Overall I'd say good to give it a try if you're new and looking to learn at an easy spot. read more

Snow was good. Crowds were awful. Very rude and dangerous snowboarders. Lots of first time skiers with no manners or even a clue. People stepping on our skis !! And when we were run into by skiers behind us they told us we should look Where we were going ???? is it just new inexperienced skiers who have no clue that there are protocols to follow or is it an ethnic thing to be rude ? Also, these people do not know how to form a straight line to get on lifts . They make huge blobs of people so it's impossible to get on lifts. It was just really really a bad experience. read more

Easy to get to. Beautiful scenery. Nice service. My only complaint is that it could get crowded. Another beef I have is with the price but that seems to be everywhere @ this point. We miss the point system. *Sigh* No joke tho - the bloody mary is THE BEST. Got the day pass for adult $129 and 1 kid $50 with boots/board/bindings rental $40 on 4/1/23 (crazy snow year!) and we had a blast. My 8 yo is learning how to snowboard and is getting it. I did get hit by an unexperienced boarder on a moderate/easy slope. I was able to get up and board down the mt and walk to the medic (Billie) who was super nice. We heart you mountain high. read more

Let me start by saying this is a very bias view because I don't ski or snow board. I went with my husband who was learning to snow board for the first time and booked lessons. We also went on a Wednesday so the employees even said that this was a nice day. Staff was awesome all around. My husband's instructor Edwin Glass Rivera was so awesome, knowledgeable and my husband fell in love with the sport so win win! My day started on east side. I paid for the snow play and ride to the top. There was only me and another family. No waiting the tubing was fun. The ride to the top was nice and a nice few. Then lunch. I actually bought lunch on the east side and took it to the west side, which I'm glad I did because west said was crazy busy. They have the same food on both sides so don't worry about missing out. My FAVORITE was the roasted red pepper and Gouda soup. I have only found it at one other place and that's loma linda hospital on some days. So I hit the jackpot. I bought two extras and brought them home too. I have to warn you the food is pretty pricey which expected with the reviews a read. But still took out the one star for that because was pretty crazy prices as you can see in the pics I posted. Parking was closed when I went to meet my husband on the west side but I got lucky and found street parking. Later I was able to move my car when the opened it back up. I would imagine on weekends that it would just be a mad house if on a Wednesday they already had to close it. Now as far as the slopes/ski conditions/snow review sorry can't add any of that here, but hope this helps. Tried to add pics of the food options as I didn't see much before going. Nice little day trip if you pretty close in the area and don't have to drive that far to have some snow fun! read more

MTN HIGH STAFF: 5 STARS!!We had a car situation in the morning and could not make it to our kids' private lessons at 9am. We went up anyway and got there around 11:30, parked at East and took the school bus shuttle up to West. The staff at kiosk was very kind and accommodating and found us a slot for 1pm. I appreciated the rental staff being friendly and encouraging to my nervous kids who were trying snowboarding for the first time. We had our lessons with Baron at 1pm and he was more than patient with my 8 year old daughter and 6 year old son. My son complained a lot (they missed lunch at this point and his gloves were cold and wet) but Baron kept up the positive attitude. They even got replacement gloves for him! My daughter was sliding down on her board by the end of the lesson. Thanks Mtn High for a great snow day! PARKING: .5 STAR. The parking and transportation situation was incredibly difficult and frustrating. The 1 mile stretch between East and West will get you stuck for more than 1 hour later in the afternoon. Snow goers are trying to find any parking on the side of the 2-way 1-lane road. Some will U-turn to snag a spot and cause more delays. Because of that, the bus shuttles take forever to get around. read more

Best + most convenient spot for LA locals :) I love snowboarding and my. high is my favorite go-to spot. It's around an hour from la and it's so easy to navigate + drive to compared to other resorts. The park has an east and west side. East has more advanced slopes but only opens when it snows a lot. The west side is the main park and they have a bunny slope, greens, blues, and diamonds. It's definitely not as big as mammoth but it's a great spot if you want to go somewhere close for the day. The recent revamp has been a nice surprise :) new food options (pizza, various soups + bread bowl, salads, orange/teriyaki chicken rice bowl, macaroni, hot dog, burgers, snacks, etc.) and water from the faucet is (finally) hot when you wash your hands. They have apple pay which is a plus. Since the new updates, it is a bit more strict with non-snowboarders/skiers entering the park. You have to show your pass before entering the snowy area vs before, anyone can walk in to take pics. Highly recommend for a fun day trip :) read more

We skied mid-week after some heavy snow, enjoying the $119 "discounted" online lift ticket and one of us needed rentals. Their WiFi was down so it took them a while to figure out how to process things and how to get rentals. Everyone was friendly but not in a rush. Conditions were great in the morning but deteriorated pretty quickly as things heated up - it never really got too crowded on the East side though. We brought our own lunch and were easily able to find a table to eat. We skied 5 runs in the morning and 4 more in the afternoon. It's not the greatest skiing but it's under an hour and a half from Orange County and it's always an enjoyable day! read more

I just wanted to give a big shout out to every single employee I encountered at Mountain High (lower mountain) and that you are all so amazing and so dang nice! I felt the love and it made for a great experience, but heh I'm also talkative. Funny thing at first we even attempted to go to the upper mountain but the parking lot was full. We were kinda wondering what to do and thought to try out the lower mountain and I think we had way more fun at this spot! Seriously had some of the best runs in some nice fluff thanks to the crazy storms we just had. So if you don't make it up top try the one at the lower lot. Most runs are black and blue diamond! Anyways thanks! Mad love! Happy to say this has always been my local mountain where I could drive up and snowboard without the crazy drive to Bear or Summit. So thanks for making the good times roll! Till next time! And Abby I'll never forget you! One of the kindest gestures I've seen in a long time. But you know I had you read more

First time going to a ski resort and skiing, and got my first ski lesson. I haven't been to other places but Mountain High surely set a good tone for the sport and experience. Mike our coach was very knowledgeable and simplified the lessons in a way that a complete beginner made it easy to learn. Towards the end of our 2 hour session. I was confident enough to go down the Snowflake runs. For the resort itself, I feel that it is rather small (compared to my imagination of a ski resort) but everything works and optimized. The snow on the flat and bunny hill was rather hard and icy tho. Biggest room for improvement tho is to add some staff especially in Bullwheel there was only 1 kitchen staff to man a whole kitchen serving hundreds of people. read more

I Visited Bull Wheel Grill. My goals of enjoying views of my husband on the slopes and hot chocolate were destroyed. After settling in an area with a window view and a fireplace, a rude waiter approached me. Waiter informed me the seats were reserved and I couldn't sit there! He informed me I could sit outside! I felt not only was insulted but discriminated against! I was the only ethnic person in the grill. In addition to being singled out the grill was totally empty with over 100 empty seats. Randomly employees & random guests visited the Grill for 4-6 minutes for refreshments /toilets only. Nice one was seated or refused seating. I sat outside for 70 minutes in the cold as instructed! I returned inside the Grill for bathroom break and warmth. Afraid to sit at a table due to the rude treatment. I sat at the doorway. During the the next hour the rude waiter stared me down angrily. He made 6 trips to stand in the doorway area to lookout side each time giving me and angry look as he walked past me. After the waiters 3rd trip and his stare down....I refused to make eye contact with him. Later, my husband came into the grill for bathroom break. My husband questioned the waiter on my ability to be comfortable at a table? The waiter informed my husband I could only set until a group with reservations arrived after their ski activity was complete. The waiter never bothered to explain the seats were reserved for later use!! He just told me I couldn't sit there! Ridiculous... 3 hours sitting in the cold!! Destroyed my visit! Next time inform your guest seating area isn't available after group activities due to reservations!!! Normal small facilities allow you to sit temporarily. They inform you upon arrival seating in this area isn't available @ the estimated time. The place was nearly empty for 2-3 hours ( see photos) except for 4-6 other couples (caucasian) who sat and enjoyed hot drinks at the tables. I never got to enjoy hot chocolate or read my book. This was a hostile environment! I suppose I wasn't the right ethnicity to sit at the tables? ‍ read more

It's really cool to have a vacation like this near Los Angeles. We liked the slides and the bar at the bottom. But guys, you should have done something with the lifts a long time ago. It's extremely dangerous, especially when the wind is blowing. read more
