Mountain High announced mid-morning on Wednesday that their ski resort structures are still in tact despite the nearly 50,000 acre Bridge Fire.

Located about 75 miles northeast of L.A., Mountain High has three mountains, an ice rink and Yeti’s Snowplay, which includes tubing and sledding for young ones.

Incredibly, Mountain High says they still plan to open on time for this upcoming winter. Opening day is typically anytime after November 1.

A group of employees might have saved the resort from the growing flames with their decision to turn on the idle snow machines.

The beloved getaway in the San Gabriel Mountains got its start in the summer of 1924, when Big Pines Recreation Park opened, described as the “New Mountain Paradise,” bringing thousands of people into the area for outdoor sports. (Mountain High’s resorts are in the former Big Pines Park.)

The massive Bridge fire, which started in the Angeles Forest five days ago, has burned 47,904 acres in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties and still has no containment, officials said.

"Fire raced through the area yesterday but GREAT NEWS! All the main lifts & buildings survived with little to no damage." The post SoCal Ski Resort Saved By Snow-Making Machines During Bridge Fire first appeared on The Inertia.

A popular ski resort in Southern California is still standing as firefighters continue battling the Bridge Fire nearby.
