Mountain High Resort in Wrightwood will open tomorrow, Oct.
29, making this the 13th year in a row they have been
the first resort to open in
Southern California
with top to bottom riding. This also marks the resort's earliest
opening ever on machine made snow.
"This has the feel of a
great season. With our early opening, El Nino looming, and the economy
recovering, we feel very positive about the upcoming winter," said Karl Kapuscinski.
Thursday will be open to season pass
holders only. Mountain High's $299 Anytime Season Pass is a
great way to save money. Regularly $599, this pass is good any day or
night during the season, including holidays, and pays for itself in just five
visits.
Guests can get more information along with snow reports, live
cams and text alerts at mthigh.com.
Beginning
Friday, early season prices will be $25 for children ages 7 to 12, $30 for
Night tickets from 5pm to 10pm, $35 for a 4-Hour ticket, and $40 for an 8-Hour
ticket. Prices are subject to change without notice.
Operating
hours will be 9 a.m .to 5 p.m.on Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on
Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Up to
two lifts will be available accessing four trails which consist of
predominately beginner to intermediate terrain. Six to ten terrain
features will also be on the mountain including several of Mountain
High's brand new jibs.
A full
line of rental and retail products will be available along with repair services
and food & beverage. The Winter Sports School is not yet offering
lessons but will begin as soon as the necessary beginner terrain comes on
line.
Cold
temperatures and aggressive snowmaking are what lead to this early opening and
Mountain High will continue to make snow whenever possible, even during the
day, so guests are advised to dress warmly.
