About Big Bear Mountain Resort
Big Bear Mountain Resort is the region's flagship year-round mountain playground, operating the neighboring Snow Summit and Bear Mountain ski areas above the south shore of Big Bear Lake. As Southern California's premier winter destination, it draws skiers and snowboarders from across the region with a network of lifts, groomed runs, terrain parks, and reliable machine-made snow.
In winter the resort offers full ski and snowboard rentals, lessons, and lift access across both mountains, with Bear Mountain renowned as a freestyle and terrain-park hub and Snow Summit catering to all-mountain skiing and family learning zones. When the snow melts, the resort transforms into a summer adventure base with the Snow Summit Bike Park's lift-served downhill mountain biking, scenic Scenic Sky Chair rides to the summit, and the Bear Mountain Golf Course. Rental packages, day tickets, and season passes are available, and equipment is offered on-mountain for both winter and summer sports.
The scale and variety are what set it apart — few destinations let visitors ski in the morning and book a downhill bike session months later from the same lifts. With on-site rentals, instruction, dining, and the largest lift network on the mountain, Big Bear Mountain Resort anchors the local adventure scene in every season.
