    A BAD day at WORK is BETTER than a GOOD day at Bear Mountain.

    Cons: Fewer runs and more wanna-be snowboarders than overrated Snow Summit

    The only resort that I had been to in Big Bear was Snow Summit prior to last year. As disappoited as I had always been with the lack of challenging terrain, how... Full review

    Very good resort, but suffers from being overshadowed by it's superior neighbor: Alta

    by govey80 - Oct 14, 2008

    Pros: Very good extreme terrain, good powder on the back side

    Cons: Icy and shadowy frontside, Lacks the variety of extreme terrain of Alta

    Overall, a very good resort, but it gets overshadowed by Alta's superiority, especially with Alta being just up the road. There are many good runs off of the Tram, and I've had... Full review
