Just a quick piece of advice if you ski at Snow Summit. Always, always, always take the singles line, even if in a large group. On lifts 1, 2 and 3, they will allow you to go as a group once you are at the front of the singles line. It will save you between 20-25 minutes in those lines.
Can drive there

First time snowboarding at snow summit and realized that the beginner slopes were steeper than the one at Bear Mountain. Purchased the night session tickets and it wasn't as packed as the day sessions at bear mountain. One of the staff at snow summit nearly hit my brother because we fell when got off the lift and were not "moving out of the way" fast enough. The employee at the bottom of the lift had told us we were the last ones for the night which is why my brother had told the employee at the top not to worry because we were the last ones anyway. The employee proceeded to approach my brother angrily while screaming. He kept saying he didn't understand why "these people" (beginners) don't learn to move out of the way fast enough. He then managed to fall right next to my brother and went back to his work space quietly after getting back up. You'd think as an employee at the beginner lifts he'd have more patience with those riding the lifts. The 2 employees in the bottom of the lifts were the sweetest ever. They helped me a lot and gave me some tips to improve.
Some staff are very friendly and helpful

I was very disappointed about the efficiency of the shuttle service from remote parking. We had to wait for approximately 1 hour on 3/14 from fox farm to even get to the slopes. This unsatisfactory considering the amount of money for an adult ticket. We did not get on the slope until 1.5 hours of getting to the parking lot. This is not okay and disgraceful

crowded, decent town to stay in, pricey, okay conditions sometimes rare snow

Horrible experience. Signed my son up for 6hr lesson which also included them giving him lunch. After a few hours instructor told all the kids they could go. Get a call from someone else in my group that found him outside freezing and hungry after wandering around for over an hour. What makes this worse is that when I went to go see how he was doing was told he was out getting lessons when he was really wandering around looking for me. He went out into the parking lot and was found by friend sitting outside when it was snowing and in the low 20s. So many things could have happened to him. I called resorts corporate number to report what happened no response. This type of thing should never happen and I would never let any of my other kids get lessons here again. They ruined what should have been a great time and first experience for my son, and ruined the time of the other people in our group that had to take care of him until they got ahold of me.

so this year is a bad year for snow but that doesnt mean you need to stay away from the slopes. the staff is very friendly. they do their best to keep you safe the whole time you are there but if you arent paying attention that part is on you. i heard someone complain that they got taken out by a skier when they were walking around on the beginner slopes... that is not on park staff they warned that same person that could happenand they didnt listen. so yes the staff is amazing for what they have and they do a very good job on busy days. yes the conditions arent to people's expectations but they are the best in so cal like always!!! never seem to fail my expectations, they always do better. i took my son and daughter for snowboard lessons and they loved it. i am actually thinking of buying them private lessons and have them learn more from the teaching staff. outstanding work they do in that department. even when they are understaffed they work till the job is done. good work summit and good work bear you two resorts are killing it even in these conditions.
extreamly family friendly
have to make own snow but doing good for what they have got

Stay away from the mountain until we get some snow. Went yesterday and there is almost no snow left on the runs. There is no way that they have 40" You need to avoid the bare spots on most of the main runs. There are a couple that can be found that might have 6-12" of snow, but nothing more than that. Summit has not blown snow all week and due to the excessive heat up here, most of the snow has been melting. I would wait until we get a storm or until they confirm that they have blown more snow before visiting again.
