Mountain High is a ski resort in Big Pines, California, offering 59 runs across 290 acres for beginners, intermediate skiers, and advanced riders. The mountain is served by 14 lifts, including high-speed quads, triple chairs, and surface lifts.
The resort opened in 1924, forming from the merger of three separate ski areas called Blue Ridge, Holiday Hill, and Ski Sunrise. Combining these three zones created the resort as it operates today.

The resort uses snow-making across roughly 275 acres to maintain conditions throughout the season. Plan to arrive early during peak times, as popular runs can fill up quickly.
Night skiing runs until 10 PM on select evenings across roughly 73 acres of lit slopes. This lets skiers enjoy the mountain under evening lights on specific nights.
