Snow place like home
About 45 minutes away is Mountain High, a wintertime resort with snow, skiing, and tubing. Being Christmas, we wanted to see someplace that made us think of home.
In case no one believes how close it is, see the sign below.
That picture was taken about 7000 feet above sea level. For perspective, the top of Whiteface Mountain in New York is 4386 feet.
California has turned Kelly into a total tree hugger. We have had three good rains in the valley, which means snow at this elevation. It's a great year to experience this part of the world because the weather is doing almost exactly what it's supposed to do. Mountain High has been, of course, making snow since November for the trails, but the rest of the mountain has a good covering naturally.
It was about 45 degrees at 4:00 PM, but it felt colder. Most nights it gets a little below freezing on the top of the mountain, it actually gets colder in the valley, still air creates a temperature inversion, with warmer air above cold dense air that sinks to the bottom of the valley. But in the daytime or on turbulent evenings, it can be 30 or more degrees colder up there.
Mountain High had a strange rule for a winter resort.
People seemed to ignore it.
It has about 1000' rise from the base of the resort to the peak.
You can see it from the valley, it's the white spot on the mountain. We first noticed it at night, when suddenly there was a brightly lit spot hanging in the sky one evening where there had been none before.
After our trip up the mountain, we stopped to take some photos of the creepy burned out ranch house that only the porch pillars and fireplaces are left from.
That's the full moon rising in the background. It mesmerized Kelly the whole trip down the mountain.
