Come see for yourself why we are the #1 Mountain Resort in Southern California!

If you've ever wondered how Big Bear Mountain Resorts makes excellent snow here is a quick explanation. There is only one ingredient in man-made snow: Water. We get all we need from Big Bear Lake. Water is atomized and blown into the cold dry mountain air. It freezes and falls to the ground as real snow! A sophisticated system of generators, compressors, and pumps distributes power, compressed air and water. High tech snowcats with special resurfacing equipment make a fresh surface every night. Snow Summit and Bear Mountain make snow at every possible opportunity November through March. This season has provided the best snowmaking conditions in Big Bear Mountain Resort's history! The snow will last well into April. Check out our web page at www.bigbearmountainresorts.com for the latest weather and snow conditions.

With a nearly inexhaustible supply of water from Big Bear Lake, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain have covered nearly 100% of our developed runs with a fresh blanket of manmade snow – from two to three feet on most runs! This is substantially more than any other Southern California resort, as they rely on extremely limited amounts of well water and are often forced to reduce their snowmaking, thus offering fewer open runs. Recent cold temperatures have allowed us to put down record amounts of snow so don't wait around for natural snow when unrivaled conditions are here right now!

Big Bear Mountain Resorts is 99% open with some of the best conditions available in California! Nearly all runs are open with a 2 to 3 foot snow base and packed powder conditions. No matter what you imagine the snow to be, it's better than you think, so don't wait for natural snow when unparalleled conditions are here right now! With a virtually unlimited water source from our very own Big Bear Lake we are committed to making tons of snow for a quality experience on the slopes! If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out on undeniably the best snow conditions of the year! Be sure to check our Snow Report for updated weather, lifts and runs.

Road Conditions:
Although it may take extra time to travel to Big Bear, our excellent conditions are well worth the drive:

Snowmaking has been in progress since Thursday night, allowing for Skyline Creek to open today at Snow Summit along with Geronimo at Bear Mountain! Yesterday's 6 to 8 inches of cold, Colorado-like snow has added to the excitement and conditions! Terrain is open for all abilities and with conditions this great, come see for yourself why we're the #1 Mountain Resort in Southern Califonia!
