Snow Summit is Southern California's home for year-round scenic getaways and outdoor experiences, with world-class skiing and snowboarding in the winter and mountain biking, hiking, and family-friendly base area activities in the summer. During the winter months (November-April), Snow Summit offers 240 acres of skiable terrain with lifts and trails for all ability levels. Drop in at 8,200 feet and experience the best that SoCal has to offer. The fun doesn't stop at Snow Summit. Check out Big Bear Mountain Resort's additional alpine venues, including Snow Valley and Bear Mountain. The mountain resort sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet in the San Bernadino Mountains, grants access to varied terrain via 11 lifts and provides an average 100 inches of annual snowfall. The top elevation of 8,200 feet gives skiers and riders access to 1,200 feet of vertical drop. Other on-mountain activities include a tube park and night skiing. Where Is Snow Summit Located? Snow Summit’s base area rests within one mile of Big Bear Lake and is a two-hour drive from Los Angeles. Snow Summit is a convenient option for flyers thanks to its close proximity to Ontario International Airport, which is located 60 miles west of the ski area.

Snow Reporter Comments: ⚠️ Last updated: Thursday, March 12, 10:35AMSince yesterday, there's been no changes to the 15 terrain park features at Snow Summit. Skiers and snowboarders can take a ride up Chair 2 to explore various obstacles on Upper Westridge including a Slappy tube jib and long Press box leading into a long two-tier Drop box. From there, riders can connect to Zzyzx to hit a small Rainbow box, A-Frame rail, and Hip snow feature before riding back down to the base area or jumping on mid-mountain Chair 3.⚠️ Last updated: Thursday, March 12, 6:45AMGood morning and happy Thursday from Snow Summit.

That’s when you’ll find freshly groomed corduroy and crisp mountain air at over 7,000 feet. As the sun climbs higher, the snow softens into that spring-style surface. Some call it slushy; we call it fun! The softer texture can be more forgiving, making it especially great for beginners building confidence and dialing in their turns. At this time, the team does not plan to turn on snowmaking for the remainder of the 25/26 winter season.
