COME UP MIDWEEK AND ENJOY WIDE OPEN RUNS WITH LITTLE TO NO LIFT LINES! GET READY TO GO BIG - THE SUPERPIPE OPENS TODAY AT BEAR MOUNTAIN RESORT!
At Big Bear Mountain Resorts, conditions are way better than you may expect with more terrain open than you realize thanks to two of the world's largest
snowmaking systems plus a nearly inexhaustible supply of water from Big Bear Lake! Coverage is excellent on all open runs with surface conditions that range
from machine-groomed packed powder to machine-groomed hard packed that will soften. One lift ticket gives you access to more open terrain and more lifts
operating than any other Southern California resort. Experience two distinct resorts with a free shuttle running between Snow Summit and Bear Mountain every
half hour. Nearly all runs are now open at both resorts with twenty-four lifts operating as needed. Go to our Web site's photo gallery at
bigbearmountainresorts.com for highlighted trail maps indicating runs now open.
