I been there maybe 6 year ago, but visited 2/27/21 maybe third time there ever and I got to say it was fun. I attended the night session and not to crowded and still learning through trial and error but I did enjoy myself. I purchased two lift tickets but my guest couldn't attend, so I had to cancel one lift ticket or should I say I got a voucher from the ticket office after slight confusion with the lift ticket being printed in the wrong name at the kiosk. I cleared it up with the office and I have my redeemable voucher for 20-21 season. Snow board and boot Rentals were a breeze also, kinda soggy right boot from previous use but I changed my socks before I hit the mountain. This was just a reality check to make my own personal purchase of sturdy snow boots for next time. All in all it was a cool experience especially since I'm still a beginner. I only fell three times total lol I thought I was a lil cool toward the end when I made it down the mountain with out falling once. read more

Don't go on a weekend after any snowfall in the last week. Everyone in LA will be there. The mountain will be crowded with beginners running into you and then it will take you hours to get off the mountain in standstill traffic. We spoke will some lift operators and they also said don't come after snowfall since everyone will be there, INSTEAD come any other weekend without snowfall since they make their own snow and the conditions are the same regardless if it snowed earlier in the week and it will be far less busy. Also, $14 for crappy burritos, so pack your own lunch and snacks. Arrive early as the parking lot fills super quick and then you have to turn around and park in the lower lots and take the shuttle. read more

Had my first experience snowboarding here. And what else can I say but, wow what a way to fall down a hill. Came with a big group of friends that were veterans. Did the whole tailgating in the parking lot. Plenty of room to park and chill. Remember to bring a portable stove and a kettle for hot cocoa or cup noodles. It is worth gold there after doing a few runs. Did night boarding during January. Was cheaper so I said what the hay, I'll go too. Had to collect gear from various friends to borrow like I was collecting Exodia pieces from yugioh. Ended up with everything. Can't say I would have imagined to fall that many times. But it was icy dicey. But the hills were nice. People were nice. And the experience was fun. Probably wouldn't do night boarding again till I'm more practiced that is for sure. read more

I for sure wasn't going to go snowboarding. We just wanted to go on the left. There's a restaurant up on the hill that's closed but we just wanted to take pictures. Yes we drove that far just to take pictures. This Christmas I fell in love with the Sia song snowman ! It's the cutest video ever she falls in love with a snowman. So that was our mission go to Mountain high find some good snow and make a TickTock of my snowman and me! It was already becoming the end of the day quickly. I didn't want to pay the $20 for parking . We kept driving up looking for spots and just finding all kinds of hills were people were sledding for free. How fun except gross they left all their broken sleds everywhere. Not happy! I have always been brought up you leave a place better than you found it. So we're going to pick them up! We are? Yes! So my cousin and I went around and picked up all the broken sleds and put them in a pile so they were easily picked up. We didn't go on the lift after all but we did make a lot of snowman's. read more

I come every weekend to snowboard. They have so many lifts to choose from for all levels of riding. I came last year and ended up buying the season pass this year. I fell in love with the sport and this place makes it easy to just get in that good quality boarding time. The only thing I'd say that could use some more help is the food. The quality isn't the best. It's probably because the food stays heated too long under those lamps. Best thing I had there was a burrito. read more

This review is long overdue. I came here around mid December and I got hit with the "Last Run" phenomena where I called last run completely ate it and at some point lost my phone. I didn't realize it was gone till after I got down the mountain and was on my way to the car. I left my phone number with a lady in reception area and turns out they found it! This was great news but I actually was already home in Los Angeles well over 1:30 away. I eventually spoke to the office there and a lovely lady but the name of Damaris said she would help me out and ship it to me. I thought this was amazing news as I didn't want to drive all the way back there for it! I sent her a UPS label and after a day or so she got the phone into a UPS drop box. I received the UPS envelope and not only did it have my phone but also some sticks! Whooohoo! Thank you Damaris for being so awesome and accommodating you definitely make the resort and the world a better place! read more

(Not a review of the slopes, just the Yeti Snow Play area) Do not take anyone higher than hip-height, or their caretakers. I paid $350 in advance to take my family (ages 7-16) on what I thought would be comparable to the tubing places in Big Bear/Arrowhead. I mean, if they charge $60/person, it must be a robust experience, I hypothesized (incorrectly). Instead, it is a rinky-dink couple of 5-second tubing slides, a 10-foot section for tiny sleds to be hauled back up by the kid, and a tiny little sectioned-off part of the hill for any free time in the snow, like 2 little moguls. The one redeeming aspect of our nearly $400 experience was sitting on the nice deck with plenty of seating and good music for a few hours. With the recent miraculous snow, the views alone might be worth (some of) the cost read more

I love going to Mt High for snowboarding. Sure, the snow is not the best, but it's local, convenient and has the points pass which other resorts do not offer. The route to Mt High is easy to drive, no windy roads, and super local if you're from the LA or OC area. The points pass, if you're not familiar, is like a debit card for lifts. You can buy a 500 or 1000 points pass. The price for this year is $170 for 500 and $250 for 1000, if I'm not mistaken. Every time you go on a beginner lift, it "costs" 10 pts and every time you go on the intermediate/advance lift, it's 20 pts. This is ideal if you are a beginner snowboarder/skier and would not be using up that many points anyway or if you like to ride just part of the day. With the points pass, you don't have to feel pressured into riding the entire day to make your lift ticket (daily pass) worth it. Another great thing about the points pass is it can be shared with others. My boyfriend and I got the 1000 point pass to share and I think that would be just enough to last us through one season. I went riding today and unfortunately still no real snow. The runs are covered in man-made snow so the conditions are not that great. Hopefully real snow is coming soon! read more

Absolutely LOVED IT! Had a blast and I can not wait to return. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Of course I came in on a Tuesday so I had no lines or no crowds. It was just a perfect day so I suggest to visit during the week days to avoid set backs like waiting in lines. I found the lobby to be warm and that was delightful when your a newbie and you need shelter. The woman's bathroom has a big, big entrance and I supposed that is what the original layout was meant to be, I guess if you have ski gear and you need to enter conferrable. I also could not help to notice the food court. They offer soups, Pizza and it looked like chicken fingers. staff seemed ready and attentive. All big smiles ear to ear working away. I over all truly enjoyed my visit and look forward in my return. They close around 4ish so that being said ones they close no more bathrooms. read more

Mountain High Resort - Friends have a great time - Ski Resorts Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Well we went two weeks ago for the Yeti Snow play, after driving 2hrs from San Diego we arrived to find the Yeti snow play was closed due to bad weather... No text or anything, just a three hours drive and no refund allowed. Make it make sense. We were bummed but decided to go back the following weekend to snowboard and bring our gear. Big mistake, despite buying our tickets ahead, arriving early, and supposed caps on volume due to Covid it was almost impossible to make it up the mountain to actually snowboard like we paid for. We got off the exit for the Mountain at 9:15 yet it took another 2 hrs to get to the parking lot. We were first told parking was full and drove around for another 30mins before being allowed to enter the upper lot. Once parked we were thankful we did not have to rent equipment as the rental line was also 2+ hrs long. We attempted to snowboard but after waiting in long lift lines and people without masks crowded all other including inside it did not seem safe to stay. While inside the food area no one was told to put on masks everyone just did whatever they wanted...NOT OK Anyway, after deciding, we didn't want to people our health and life at risk of being coughed on we hopped in the car at 3:30 to leave. We did not leave the line of traffic to exit Mountain high until after 5 and it took us another hour to make it down the mountain before we could begin the 2hr drive home. Yes, we spent over 5 hrs just sitting and waiting in the car. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. While waiting we asked a Mountain High employee what was going on and he said traffic would not start moving till 7. He was right, which means Mountain high knew this too and failed to communicate with customers setting us all up for failure. While waiting to leave we realized we may run out of gas and called Mountain high for help, they couldn't do anything but Nina was kind enough to offer to come out and give us gas if we still needed it when she got off at 10:30 pm. The only positive was her customer support but there really wasn't much she could do but offer moral support. I asked for a manager to call me back and for a refund but that has yet to happen... read more

As someone who has skied a couple of times before, I took a class at the resort today and had a great time. Chris Saranec was my instructor and gave me a lot of tips to improve my skiing. I definitely would recommend a lesson with him if you want to improve your skills! read more

Me and a friend did the package for the lift, lesson, & rental. We went in a weekday so parking was easy to find. Everything was a smooth process & we had an awesome instructor "David" older gentleman that was the perfect teacher for my type of learning. A bit firm to push me past my confront zone " which is needed or else you'll never get up on the board" but supporting and affirming through the process , which was great or else I would of just felt horrible about myself not being amazing from the start. There's a place to rest , grab food. I'll be back to keep practicing. Love how close this place is to home LA and easy to get to. All in all such a great experience! read more

We won't be going back. Staff was far from friendly, food was cold drinks weren't warm and for the price which is ridiculous just to participate in open play in the snow or snow tubing for a family of 3 we were not satisfied. If you plan to bring children unless you want to spend an arm and a leg you won't be entertained for very long. Best advice go to your local sports store buy a few snow activity items( sleds, ect) and find an open area and just play for hours on your own. On the plus side the snow was gorgeous nice and thick and our daughter had a blast so we will be returning to the mountain just not this particular area. read more

Very fun place and wow so much snow!! The lines were not long at all for the lift and not a lot of people in general which is nice. read more

Mountain High Resort - From the lift - Ski Resorts Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Pass Holder for a few years now. I recently ran into some money troubles and I decided to put my season pass for sale which was a last resort thing and didnt want to do & not knowing it was against term rules. tonight I went for a night board trip with two friends only to be greeted by Shana from Lift Operations telling me my season pass has been revoked but that I needed to leave the resort over a simple mistake which could of been resolved fairly for both parties & also not just me, they took away my friends night passes that they paid for! no questions asked. It sucks that after years and years of dealing with Mt High's traffic, long lift lines and lift down times that they can do this without a second thought of the customers situation. If you ride at Mt High just be aware that its their way or the highway, they've become money hungry and have the wrong people running things read more

The whole experience was great until the end when an employee ruined it and made my son cry by yelling at him and telling him if he slides on the tube on more time she'll take it away and when for replied for real she shouted yes at him to a ten year old boy who was trying to enjoy himself , disappointed people need more kindness to youth. read more

Visited on the 19th with my 9 and 7 year old. Signed up for a lesson. I had a little hiccup with the online sign up. I emailed MTH and they emailed me back and called me. Issue resolved. Our mountain experience was incredible. All of the staff were SO INCREDIBLY NICE. I shared with a friend that it was as if, everyone had gone to charm / customer service school! Staff would randomly approach and ask how we were doing? Did we need help with anything. They would engage with my kids. Someone helped me carry our things to a locker. The gentleman waving us into parking spots; the driving the shuttle and answering questions were ALL so kind! My kids instructors were aMazing. They were in good hands for sure. I had the most amazing grilled cheeseburger and cranberry margarita! The kindness of the staff and the beautiful snow will ensure our return. I have already signed up for more! read more

I am grateful for the school program and that i as able to teach my kids to ski. But after trying for 7 weeks to reach a human being to sign up my kids' school for the program and not able to reach a human being, I have to give them one star. Their email inquiry links do not work (and if they do no one replies to them), the phone prompt ends with no one answering the phone and v.m. boxes full and unable to leave messages. I did reach an operator once and the person I needed once. I was promised and email both times. No email has yet arrived and I once again cannot get anyone to pick up a phone. It's absurd. read more

It was my first time snowboarding and the rentals were very easy to pick up since there were not many people when we arrived at 9am. There are slopes for all skill levels ranging from bunny slopes to black diamond. The snow definitely depends on when you come. I went in mid January so there was lots of snow left from the long period of rain and snow from the previous month but the snow was not fresh -- it was still really deep though and very good for snowboarding. I liked how accessible the ski lifts were and that there was free parking not too far. I highly suggest storing shoes or personal belongings in a locker for $5 or just leaving it in the car! read more

Mountain High Resort - Ski rental - Ski Resorts Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Convenient, close, decent snow ------- Went to mt high this past Friday for snowboarding. There was a small snow storm the day before plus they had snow making so the first few runs had good conditions. Most of the time no chains are required and the mountain is right off the highway with no mountain driving which is nice. Parking was free on Friday which is also nice, now that they charge $20. 5/5 Going on the Friday there wasn't that many people so no line to get onto the main lift or struggle finding places to sit during rest. Wish the main run was longer 4/5 read more

Getting there: Located of the 2-hwy. Most of the time only the West side is open depending on the amount of snow for the season and the amount of parking. If the West lot is full, you will need to park in the East lot and take the free shuttle over. You now have to pay for parking, $20 per car. Experience: I've been here plenty of times, so I know what a crowded Mt. High looks like and if they were abiding by COVID-19 regulations of selling tickets at half capacity, it would not have looked like what it looked like this past weekend. We always arrive early in the morning to try and avoid crowds for as long as possible. The first couple of hours were nice because you could board without having to dodge a bunch of people. Around noon, we noticed that the park was packed. People everywhere. Masks were enforced but I don't see how the 6ft regulation could have been in affect with that many people. The ticket prices were higher this year. A $40-$50 ticket is now $109, and half-day passes were not being sold. IMO not worth it for a full day at Mt. High. I totally understand that prices needed to increase due to the current state the country is in, but if that's the case I would expect the mountain to not be as crowded as pre-COVID. Tips: - Get there early! The open at 8:30 AM, so plan to be in the parking lot by 8:00 AM. The lot fills up fast and it's not ideal to have to carry your gear from the East lot to the West lot and back on a shuttle. read more

At 48, I decided to try skiing for the very first time. Went this past Wednesday. Glad I chose Mountain High!!! Took a 10am lesson with Dave, who could not have been more patient and friendly (I'm a chicken sh1t). Didn't think I'd make it off the bunny hill and ride the lift, but with his guidance and reassurance, I did! Also met Terry and Mike, who were amazing! The vibe at MtHigh was chill; everyone was really nice and helpful, and they never made me feel stupid, even when I made the most bumbling and embarrassing moves. I highly recommend giving Mountain High a try! read more

Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 30 minutes up to snow summit or bear mountain. I have been coming here since 2002 and this place continues to raise it's prices while providing worse and worse service every year. Bear and Summit both send workers with shovels and rakes to maintain features every 20 minutes. You would be lucky to spot terrain crew working on a feature more than twice in a day at Mt. High. A couple seasons ago, my girlfriend and I purchased a points pass and were able to share it and it was perfect for us so we purchased the same one for the next season. That was a mistake, Mt. High decided to implement a rule in which you are only allowed to use a points pass every 6 minutes! So if you and a friend would like to ride up on a chair lift together, you would have to scan in and wait 6 minutes! We ended up wasting so much time waiting for each other that season. When a company raises their prices a ridiculous amount without any benefits or makes a product more difficult to use without lowering their price, it's time to stop giving your money to that company. Oh, almost forgot... they are also now charging $20 for parking! lol read more

Jessica at the ticket office is fantastic!!!! She was so helpful in every way. She has excellent customer service with patience, friendliness, accommodating; needless to say a good sense of humor. Thank you Jessica! Hope I see you and get your customer service every time I'm at Mt. High. ~Three strikers :-) read more

This place claimed to enforce masks, and had signs indicating the same. Reality is quite different. Zero enforcement. Both employees and guests were without. On top of that, it was so crowded it became impossible to keep my daughter out of the way of irresponsible parents so we had to leave early after paying $90 for the privilege of playing on some tiny mounds of snow. Won't be returning, and recommending our friends and neighbors also go somewhere safer. read more

First time here, will Definitely come back. Nice place with good price. $79 for 4 hours and $84 for 8 hours. It is $49 after 5pm. The resort closes at 10pm. I went there around 4pm and stopped by at Big Benny rental store( highly recommended) it is $15 for ski sets and $23 for skateboarding set. $7 for jacket and $7 for pants. I suggest to rent all equipment at the Big Benny as there are always a long line at the resort rental place. Tips: try before you rent all equipment shoes, pants, and etc. make sure to check the size because if it is not your size, it will be painful. read more

Review: Mt. High Tubing and Yeti's snow play ONLY. Employees all nice. Place and building well kept up. WARNING: you will spend 95% of your time in line for a 3-5 sec slow tube ride down. Not worth $25 Our kids only were able to ride 3x in the 2hr block allotment. Snow play is all ICE and not worth the extra fee. Operations team needs to re-evaluate the tubing setup. I felt cheated, robbed. read more

This is a decent spot if you want to do a day trip for snow sports. The drive isn't that long and they're open for quite a bit. We went between Christmas and New Year's and it just rained so there was some snow. During covid I think that they should enforce masks more. I was glad that the attendants were telling people to wear the masks before the lift, but as soon as they get off the lift, no one enforces anything even though people are close to each other. The 6ft rule also doesn't apply, but I guess sometimes it couldn't be helped. On the way down to out of the three roads were closed and there was no sign, unfortunately. We had to drive down both only to turn back around and eventually get home. Be careful next time and hopefully this doesn't happen to you. read more

Today was my second visit. Let me tell you it isn't easy. But the staff are really good about making everything supper simple and fast. Getting our rentals was supper smooth as well as getting on the lift. Given that it's a weekend. Unfortunately, we ended up stuck on the side of a trail but the associates were really nice about helping us down. PAUL !!!!!!! especially was very kind, respectful and humorous. He made the whole experience so much better. Kevin also helped my cousin get to the bottom and let me tell you if It wasn't for the group of workers that stopped by to check up on us we would've never made it to the bottom. THANK YOU PAUL.

This is where I learned how to snowboard. As of right now I've gone 6 times in the span of a month. I first visited the resort on Tuesday 1-8-19. I didn't know how to turn or I didn't know how to snowboard well, but I went with my friends who were teaching me the ropes. We stumbled upon their beginner deal, their 1-2-3. It was 3 lessons, with 3 rentals, and 3 lift tickets and at the end of your 3rd lesson you received their season pass. We fell in love with snowboarding and my brother and I jumped the gun and bought the 1-2-3 deal in order to come back the following Monday. 3 lessons later, I can now do Blue runs and started Black runs (after a couple more park visits). It is by far the most comprehensive best deal out there for beginners such as myself. I even invested into my own gears and have learned so much at this resort that I feel confident in branching out and started doing tricks. Very grateful for this deal. Cons: The snow here is not that amazing a few weeks into a powder day. The mountains here are hot, and by the second week after it snowed, without artificial snow blowing the snow was starting to melt into slush. The resort does the best they can to upkeep it for as long as possible, but global warming is real and you can see it in the way it effects the average snowfall per year at these local mountain resorts. read more

I have total mixed reviews for this place. We arrived around 9:30am on a Saturday and luckily found some of the last spots for parking so get there early because they do close the lots! I don't know if it was the day I went or it's normally like this but it literally took me 1 hour to get my ticket and 1.5 hours just to get my rentals. I was PISSED!!! They were severely understaffed and some people seemed to be taking their sweet ass time which made the process even slower. By the time I got on the slopes, it was pretty much 12:30pm. What a waste of my day pass! They have 2 sides (they have a shuttle) which I heard one is more for beginners which I believe has more slopes and one for more intermediate/advance. I stayed on the side of intermediate and was glad because it was actually way less crowded that a lot of resorts I've been too which I was happy about. There wasn't as many snowboarders to go around. However, one of the intermediate slopes closed at 3:30pm which was a bummer because I hardly had time after all the waiting. The downfall was that the slopes were fairly short (they had about 2) until you had to go all the way down to the bottom. That's where they warned people that if you're a beginner, take the lift down and they weren't kidding! It was and advanced/intermediate slope going down and was pretty steep so I ate it quite a few times. The other thing I enjoyed was that they didn't have people manually scan our tickets. They had a metal detector type thing that you just walk straight through and you can refill your pass online. I think if I pre-bought my pass online and didn't rent there, I would more likely come back. read more

High props to Joe + Isaac for repairing my 23 year old Burton bindings that snapped. And my ancient Airwalk boots cracked. My Sims board is still tip top. The bindings were repaired quickly and the service was outstanding. The ride from Los Angeles to Mountain high is fast. The snow was seemingly entirely manmade. A jumping eve it was not. The chairlifts move at a good clip. The snow was icy. This is not a place to fall. It's perfect for riders who want to take a few turns early in the season. I'm looking forward to coming out again when they get a good snowfall. read more

Got the $105 BOGO ski lesson deal for January. First Time here, first time skiing, and first time at the snow. Only an okay experience. We went on a Tuesday non-holiday and it was pretty sunny and windy. They only had man made snow so that already affected the experience. It was still pretty packed for a weekday. We got there before 8am so plenty of parking and no long lines for the ticket booth but already a lot of people to pick up rentals right when they opened. Class started around 10am with 5 people in my beginners class including my friend. We had David as our instructor and he was nice and tried to be helpful but I felt the unprofessionalism amongst other instructors. Also, it was very hard to hear the lectures because of the snow machine. I fell 3 times and all those times David really helped me. If I'm reviewing David alone I would give him 4 stars but this was for my overall experience. Food at the lounge was alright. Clam chowder was cold and so as the bread bowl. Also, on the salty side. They did give a lot so it could feed two people. The whole experience felt rushed especially my ski boots rental fitting which result to a very uncomfortable first skiing experience. I should have gone back and got it changed but I didn't want to wait again. I'll definitely give this place another try when they have better snow and I will definitely make sure my boots fit better for a much better experience but until then this was my only memory of MOUNTAIN HIGH. read more

Beware. They'll sell you an 8 hour ticket, but the last shuttle is at 4:00pm. At 2:30pm we decided to take the shuttle back to the east lot to get the car and move it to the west lot. Because of a long wait for the shuttle and heavy traffic we didn't get back to the west lot until 3:45 and we were turned away because it was full!!! I guess they expect you to walk 1.5 miles in the dark with your skis and poles if you want to actually use the lift ticket you paid $129.00 for? It was like they hadn't anticipated it being crowded on a weekend. Why can't they run shuttles past 4:00pm when they charge $129.00 for a lift ticket? read more
