Lift Tickets Giveaway at Mt High Ski Resort PLUS Other Specials! #MtHigh

Everyone in SoCal is excited to see snow! We have all been snow deprived, but lucky for us Mountain High Ski Resort is only a 90-minute drive away from Orange County! The family and I were all just up there getting snowboarding lessons and playing in the snow. January is also National Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month!

This year we finally had the children take lessons, and they are loving it! At Mt High, the children's lessons are for ages 4-12 and are available in Full-Day and Half-Day sessions. The lessons come with equipment rental, boots, and lift tickets. For Full-Day sessions, the children receive two-1 hour and 45 minute group lessons and a snack or lunch. For Children's lessons, you'll want to arrive early to check in, register your child, and help them with their gear. The Children's Sports Center is located at the top of the pathway. You'll want to dress the children in waterproof snow gear, and they will need gloves. They all start out in their own little area away from the adults. At the end of the lessons, we were given progress reports. The Children's Sport Center at the West Resort and is open daily from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm.

While the kids were off having fun, I was getting lessons too.  I have had lessons before, but it has been a while, and I need a refresher course until I can get over the fear of falling. In the beginner class, the instructors had us learn basics like how to turn around with one foot strapped in, skate, and how to slow down before they took us down to the lifts. The half day lesson was one hour and 45 minutes. 

Darren didn't need any lessons so instead he went on a private guided tour of Mt High with John McColly, Chief Marketing Officer. John took them up the West Resort and over to East Resort then they all took a shuttle back to West Resort. The views were spectacular then it started snowing. What an amazing experience!

The day that we visited for Media Preview Day, everyone had the same idea to get to the snow and so we were in a crazy traffic jam getting there and when we left. It added about an extra hour or two to our drive. I suggest getting there early and leaving before the crowds. My boys love the snow right now, and we're going to head back soon to try Snow Tubing. For more information, please visit their website at www.mthigh.com.

Have fun!
