Surrounded by natural landscapes and one-of-a-kind backdrops, Big Bear Mountain Resort provides the most breathtaking panoramic mountain views. Our twin properties - Snow Summit (peak 8,200 feet) and Bear Mountain (peak 8,805 feet) - offer the best snow conditions, longest season, and most rideable terrain in Southern California.
Winter operations at Big Bear Mountain Resort are typically from November to April and full-, half-, and multi-day lift tickets are valid for same-day use at both mountains, which means access to over 400 skiable acres, 19 lifts, and more than 58 runs.

Big Bear Mountain Resort is known for having the best snow and most dependable conditions in Southern California thanks to our extensive snowmaking capabilities, which benefit guests by providing more reliable skiing and snowboarding conditions as well as enhancing the snow throughout the season.
The extensive snowmaking system features more than 560 hydrants, 330 snow guns, and 40 fans capable of converting 6,000 gallons of water to snow per minute. With that sort of capacity and the most operating days per season in SoCal, it’s no wonder Snow Summit was selected to host the inaugural Winter X Games in 1997. rich-text, responsive-table
