Mountain High is Southern California's most popular winter resort. Just 75 minutes from Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the area welcomes its guests with three distinctly different mountains and a wide variety of lifts and trails. Each base area is complete with ticket windows, restaurants, rentals, sport shops, ski & snowboard lessons and more. Though you can't see it from... the base area, the East Resort stretches 1.6 miles up into the mountains offering some of the best cruising trails and powder runs in the region. At the West Resort you'll find an equally impressive mountain loaded with both technical terrain and wide-open beginner areas. And last year the area was proud to announce the addition of Mountain High North. You will find it seated directly across from Mountain High's West Resort and open peak-season for lessons, tubing and more.

Way too crowded on weekends. The parking and lift ticket lines are long. The crowd is mostly arrogant young twenty something guys who try too hard to look cool and girls who care more about if their boarding outfits match. The runs are OK, a little too short for me. Weekdays are the best time to go. Mountain High is great if you are a beginner and it's a short easy drive from the LA area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I lost my lift ticket and digital cameraI and I was able to retrieve both items from the lost and found. I would suggest bringing a cooler for drinks and food. The food there is horrible and way too expensive.

Mountain High should be named Mountain Why? There are no advanced runs.

I went up to Mtn high with two friends and we all used Liftopia for our tickets. We were able to use the VIP ticket window as well. Getting the tickets was simple and quick both on the website and at the resort. I will definitely be using liftopia for my next trip.

Went Saturday 11/26/2011. $44 deal.
great deal for a saturday. snow was acceptable. some ice & then slush in the afternoon so always check weather/snow report the day or 2 before. But it was good to start off the season. try to get there before noon or else it gets really crowded.

Spring snow, small crowd, no bare spots, 1 hour 15 minute drive from San Fernando and $29 LIFT TICKET!!! What's not to like. Too bad East wasn't open Tuesday, 3/29. My pick for So Cal skiing. Thanks Liftopia!

Busy day on Monday (3/28). Looks like spring break is in full swing. Arrived at 10 am, ticket window lines were 3 or 4 deep, vip window was 10 deep. But an employee announced that any window was ok for lifttopia, so only had to wait 10 min. Snow coverage was excellent and the sun was out, making for a good day overall. As an aside, putting the ticket on the left side of body was key, so thanks to all for that tip.

Mountain High is great local skiing for SoCal. The lift tickets need to have printed on them: "Lift Ticket MUST be attached to the LEFT side of your clothing."
Lift lines wait times can be shortened a lot if...
1. The sensitivity is increased on the card readers and everyone wears their lift tickets on their left side.
2. The resort installs signage and the lift operators enforce the rule:
"PLEASE DO NOT STAND STILL OR SIT IN FRONT OF LIFT GATES"
Groups of boarders (skiers don't generally sit) plopping down in front of the lift gates en masse is like idling on a freeway on-ramp in a car; a recipe for disaster at worst, and frustration at best. C'mon folks, keep the lanes clear.

it's good. I have been mt. high third times and the snow condition was the best one in Mt. high. However, the stuffs in food court always said the food gift card could not be used in food court.

Went on Friday after recent snow storm. Get there early and move around the mountain as these spring days heat up.

Weekdays much less crowded than weekends. Much better for beginners like me. Like the easy drive to get there. Smiling, friendly staff.

Just enjoyed Mt High this past Friday. Good snow conditions. Always go on weekdays, lot less crowded. Hopefully this March & April will be similar to last year with really good snow conditions. We've told many people about your website this winter. We love your discounts!

I swore off southern Cali riding for over a year, but then decided to suck it up and shred the gnar south of Mammoth. I gotta admit, I had a blast. So much more low-key than Big Bear.

I will probably make it here next year as the local choice, skied both sides the other day, spring snow recovering from an ice storm the night before, so the snow had to crack a bit.
Fun place over all, good variety, nice cruiser runs, nice shoots, nice bowls, if only all those snowboarders lapping the park knew how much cooler tricks look on skis.
Now if Liftopia could only get these kinds of discounts for gas.

We had a fantastic time on the east side.
West side was far too crowded.
West side lift lines were really long.
So we went over the east side where there were no lines at all.
Found the east side to have more skiers than snow boarders.
I and my group are skiers and loved being able to use the shuttle to go back and forth.
The purchase of my ticket was easy.
Easy to follow web-site.
I had no problems getting my lift ticket with the printed out email.
Painless process. Will buy again using your site.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Will tell people about you.
