VIDEO: With the Bridge Fire rapidly approaching their lifts on Tuesday, Mountain High Resort employees turned on their snow-making machines, something that firefighters say might have saved them from suffering severe damage. Video captured on some of the resort's cameras show the massive flames from the destructive fire, which has thus far consumed more than 49,000 acres since igniting over the weekend, destroying more than 30 homes. Resort officials are still unsure how much damage the property suffered, but reported that "little to no damage" occurred to their main buildings and ski lifts in a post on X. "Thank you to the firefighters & employees for their hard work!," their post said. "Our hearts go out to the Wrightwood community, we are with you."
