Borderline Chairlift & Slopes

The Borderline Ride Line

The lens follows the Borderline chairlift as it climbs a broad, grassy corridor cut through dense conifer stands. In the snow-season this same slope carries skiers and snowboarders; the rest of the year the cleared run reveals the terrain's rolling contours and the towers marching up the hill.

San Gabriel Mountain Backdrop

Framing the ride line, tall ponderosa and Jeffrey pines give way to a layered ridgeline panorama. On the horizon the San Gabriel Mountains drop steeply toward the flat, arid basin, a striking contrast between forested summit and high desert that defines this corner of Southern California.

Mountain High Resort

Mountain High Resort sits above the mountain town of Wrightwood, the nearest major snow-sports destination to the Los Angeles metropolis. This vantage captures the resort's everyday rhythm, from an uncrowded off-season hillside to the busy lift operations that draw crowds when conditions turn.

Getting Here

Reached via Highway 2 through the Angeles National Forest, the resort lies within easy driving distance of the coast yet feels a world apart. The camera offers a live window onto a scenic mountain setting prized by hikers, cyclists and snow-seekers alike.
