During the 1940s, Ted Huether and his family created the Gray Squirrel Cabins. He started to pass on the small-town principles that are increasingly uncommon today. Honesty, integrity, and an unmatched work ethic. Fast forward to the 1960s, and Ted's Plumbing became the largest plumbing service in Big Bear, employing over 20 plumbers. Among them was David Huether, Ted's son. David worked as a laborer and pipe fitter in his early teens, eventually becoming a backhoe operator during his mid to late teens. When Ted was ready to retire, David took over the business and followed the path his father had laid out. For more than four decades, the Huether family and Mile High Equipment have been vital to the Big Bear Valley community. They have endured challenges and embraced the successes. Guided by the principles his father taught him, David has developed his business into a multifaceted operation.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Update on my review. Despite the delay in response they corrected everything. They fixed neighbor's wall to neighbor's satisfaction and refunded our fee when owner learned our driveway was never plowed. I wish they had let us know they were working on it so we didn't think m we had been ignored for a month.

I was pleased with my visit to Mile High Equipment. Their prices are way better then renting at the mountain. $25 dollars for medium gear. $20 for basic starter and $30 for top gear. They also have a really nice retail shop inside. Basically everything you'll need for a day on the slopes. Fair priced gear. Girlfriend bought gloves for $40. Nice gloves and good quality.
Their service was quick even though they were busy. They got my boots and board and got me out the door quick. The staff was all nice.
The one thing they could improve is having signs were to start when renting. Their was 4 steps to get your gear. But no signs where to start and people were getting agitated and thought we were cutting when we were ahead of them in the process. My suggestion. Hang signs from the ceiling marking where to start, then the next step. So on and so fourth. Might make rushes in patrons to your business have a smoother flow. Thanks to all the staff!!

Awesome place! Super friendly staff...Lexi and Christian are amazing. Great location...really happy.

Great plowing and excavation company. Hugh their plow driver is t5he best there is. Highly Recomend

Great people, specially excavator driver. He is very professional, experience. I would highly recommend him for any excavation job.

We were stuck in a cabin in big bear that we rented for three days.. Beginning of January.. It snowed while we were there A LOT... We are No strangers to snow.. We have lived in and visited in Lake Tahoe for years. But were stranded this time with no out.
We were prepared on our ends as far as equipment and chains etc.
But the company that the owner's of the cabin contracts with and pays $1000's/year to plow their properties (mile high) was big time cashing in on the storm and all the stranded people and the quick cash they could make by taking on call customers on the spot and not taking care of their contracted customers.. We fully understand someone has to be first and someone has to be last, but they were openly talking cash customers on the spot instead of their contracted customers.
They repeatedly promised to but never showed up, left us there for days.
We eventually flagged someone down off the mountain and payed them hundreds of dollars out of our pockets to plow us out.
They were rude and just had very poor customer service all together.

Mile High has always been there for Pine Bluff Lodge. We have been doing business with them for many winters. We know they are extremely busy when there is a big snow but we are always covered day or night! Thank you!!

As a business owner I would have to say that mile high is awesome on getting the snow removed from the drive with no hassles.. Prices are good and defiantly worth it.. Thx for everything
