Kratka Ridge is the name of the peak and the name of the ridge it is on. The ridge extends about 3 miles from Waterman Mountain to Mount Williamson, in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Since 1954 this peak had been the site of Kratka Ridge Ski Area (aka Snowcrest), but in recent years the Ski area has closed down and all that's left are a couple of dilapidated chair lifts and buildings.* The hike to the summit is fairly easy and offers excellent views in all directions (Kratka is located near the center of the San Gabriel range).
*7/3/06-Update: Mt. Waterman and Kratka Ridge ski areas have been sold. Mt. Waterman is said to open, winter '06, but nothing will be happening at Kratka for another year at least.
