Local, but small and doesn’t usually get much snow. Can get very crowded, higher collision risk than other resorts

I work here. It's all man made snow so it's not prime riding outside of a 2 hour window, but it's better than nothing. Not a lot of features, but again it's better than nothing. Good vibes despite not great conditions.

Snow Summit is my preferred resort in the Big Bear area. Its generally less crowded than Big Bear and not as saturated with rowdy, college age snowboarders smoking and swearing in the lift lines.
