It all began in the 1920s. Ski buffs flocked to an area called “Big Pines,” near what is now known as Mountain High, in Wrightwood, California. By 1929, construction of the world’s largest ski jump began and was completed in 1931, just in time for the 1932 Winter Olympics. Originally, they were scheduled to be held in Wrightwood, but unfortunately they were moved to Lake Placid, New York due to unforeseen circumstances. Nonetheless, Olympian Alf Engen set a new world record in Wrightwood with an amazing 243-foot jump. Mt High Skiing and Snowboarding in Wrightwood, CA
Mt High Skiing and Snowboarding in Wrightwood, CA Today, the town of Wrightwood is home to the Mountain High Resorts. Mountain High West is one of Southern California’s most-loved mountains by snowboarders and skiers alike, and is also is one of the oldest ski resorts in the United States. Originally known as “Blue Ridge,” Mountain High West was was first opened in 1937. It wasn’t until Blue Ridge was sold in 1975 that it was officially renamed “Mountain High.” At almost 8,000 feet, Mountain High West is the most popular resort due to its faultline terrain parks. Mountain High West is oftentimes the first resort in Southern California to open its gates to winter sports enthusiasts, and is usually the last to close.
Mountain High East, beloved by thrill-seekers, opened in 1948 under the name of “Holiday Hill.” In 1979, Holiday Hill was sold to the current owner of Mountain High. At first, the newly-purchased Holiday Hill was used as parking for Mountain High, and when snow levels permitted it was also used as added terrain. The longest ski run in Southern California is known as Goldrush, and can be found at Mountain High's East Resort.

What is presently known as Mountain High North was identified as the Table Mountain Ski Area in 1938. In 1975, the name was changed to “Ski Sunrise.” In 2004, Ski Sunrise was sold to the owners of Mountain High and is now used as a tubing park. For those who are new to winter adventuring, Mountain High North also provides beginning-level terrain and other snow-playing activities.
