Light snow brightens opening at local ski resort

A couple of inches of snow have fallen in Wrightwood, making for nice conditions for today's official opening of the ski season at the Mountain High resort.

"It has been snowing all day," said Kathy Cornell, who works in guest services at Mountain High. "We are busy and people are having a blast."

Snow Summit and Bear Mountain in Big Bear Lake also received several inches of fresh powder but have yet to open. The operated resorts, which plan to open later this week, report that four to six inches fell Friday and that snow began to fall again this morning.

"It is a really great opening because we are able to get a lot of natural snow and also do snowmaking," said Sarah Segovia, who is in guest services at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain.
