Mountain High (CA) on fire - live webcams show blazes :(

Granted you need to be online right now to see this until the cameras burn up (link below) but this is very sad. Some screen snips I took below.

They've turned the snow guns on in full-on water mode to try to slow the fire.

Add Mount Rose, Snow Valley, and Tamarack.

The video on that link is something else. I hope everyone in the area got out.

Mountain High just tweeted that most of the damage to their infrastructure was minor. Surprising to see that considering how bad the cams looked last night.

I have never seen a forest fire up close,... This video link is amazing. Start at about 1:02,... There is one shot where the flames look to be 300' high.

I saw some ground reports that the main base area and main lifts are good but the east peak area got hit pretty bad. the fire maps confirm that a bit.

more damage is likely to be found after inspections. thats a lot of heat.

Glad to hear they made out better than expected! I skied there once, their skier to snowboard ratio is pretty much the exact opposite of Alta. However, they were all very nice to me as I made feeble attempts at using their boxes and things on my tele skis.

I lived in So CA for 10 years and that place sucked. No great loss.

A loss of any ski area is a bad thing IMHO.

You seem pleasant.
