Mountain High Resort Issues Update On Caanf Bridge Fire

The Caanf Bridge Fire moved through parts of Mountain High Resort overnight, briefly engaging with a few lifts. However, as of 11 a.m. this morning, initial reports indicate that base facilities remain intact. Los Angeles County Fire Station 130, stationed at the West Resort, has been credited with the incredible work of defending the property. The captain of Engine 130 also confirmed that the building and restaurant at the top of East Resort survived the fire.

“We are grateful beyond words for the swift and courageous actions of Los Angeles County Fire Department Division 5 and all the first responders working tirelessly to protect our resort and community,” said John McColly, vice president of marketing for Mountain High and CaliPass Resorts. “We stand in solidarity with everyone affected by the Caanf Bridge Fire and are committed to supporting our community as we come out of this tragedy stronger than ever.”

The resort is still assessing the situation but anticipates opening on time for the upcoming season. While the fire briefly impacted some of the resort’s infrastructure, there have been no confirmed reports of structural damage, and teams will conduct thorough inspections as soon as it is safe to access the area.

Mountain High Resort continues to work closely with the Unified Command, which includes CAL FIRE, Los Angeles County Fire, and the San Bernardino County Fire, among others. The safety of staff, guests, and the surrounding community remains the top priority.

The situation remains fluid, and Mountain High Resort will update as credible information becomes available. The resort is hopeful for the continued safety of the firefighters and law enforcement teams on the front lines.

Mountain High is Southern California’s closest winter resort, located just 90 minutes from Los Angeles. It offers skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities across its three separate mountain areas.
