Mountain High is home to not one, but three distinguished resorts. Even though they are only a mile apart, they offer stunning differences in both terrain and atmosphere.

West Resort: The West Resort is filled with a seemingly endless assortment of technical trails and skillfully-designed terrain features for progressive riders and skiers of all skill levels. It is the most youthful of the three areas and the site of many on-hill contests, promotions and live performances. It is also Southern California’s only local resort open seven nights a week.

East Resort: The East Resort boasts the longest trails in Southern California serviced by a single high-speed quad. It is also known for its thrilling moguls, gladed tree skiing areas and breathtaking views of the Mojave Desert. Rising as high as 8,200 feet, the East Resort offers traditional skiers and snowboarders a true alpine experience without having to journey far from home.

North Resort: Mountain High’s new North Resort offers 70 acres of beginner terrain perfect for families and introductory skiers. It is also home to the North Pole Tubing Park, the largest tubing area in Southern California. Formerly Ski Sunrise, Mountain High North is located directly across from the West Resort and operates Friday through Sunday peak season.

How do I avoid breaking my leg when Skiing?

with 11 comments

Barbar asked:


In January I was Skiing in Italy and broke my lower leg in 4 places. Apparently the break was caused by my bone twisting rather than the landing itself.

I assume that my foot was stopped from turning by the ski and my body twisted as I fell. Something had to give and it was my leg. At the time I was on a not very steep slope and not going that fast, the snow was a bit patchy and I think my ski hit some earth and I tipped forwards and to one side.

Do you have any tips for how to avoid breaking a leg, sensible ones only please. My confidence is really shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever ski again. Maybe I could have avoided it by the way I fell and how I should have reacted as I fell. If I go again I intend to take some lessons, but doubt whether I will go again. I am 43 and not as flexible as the younger skiers. I have only 3 or 4 weeks experience skiing of which the first week I went to ski school.

I have recently started snowboarding but that seems more dangerous.
