Did you ever go to what used to be called Ski Sunrise and is now
Mountain High North? I went once. I read s story about a woman who
skied down to the bottom (the lift is at the top, in the parking lot),
got lost, and sent her 7-year-old daughter for help.

I went up there once in the summer time when I was just touristing around in the mountains. Looked pretty bleak without any snow, which I guess most ski areas do.

I found that Cal Tech/JPL has an observatory right next door, and the other end of that day in the mountains was at the Mt Wilson observatory.
