About Mile High Sports
Mile High Sports has been a staple of Big Bear Lake's ski scene since 1980, serving generations of Southern California snow enthusiasts from their storefront at 42023 Big Bear Boulevard. Open seven days a week with extended evening hours during ski season, Mile High caters to the after-work and weekend crowd heading up the mountain for night skiing sessions at Snow Summit.
Their rental lineup covers ski and snowboard packages from beginner to advanced, including boots, bindings, helmets, and outerwear layers. Equipment is well-maintained and swapped out regularly, with staff who take the time to match boot flex and board length to each renter's ability. In addition to daily rentals, the shop carries a retail selection of goggles, gloves, base layers, and accessories for anyone who forgot a crucial item on the drive up from the valley.
What sets Mile High apart is the no-frills, neighbourhood-shop atmosphere — the staff are local riders who know current snow conditions and can recommend whether to hit Bear Mountain's park features or Snow Summit's groomers on any given day. Competitive pricing and consistently positive reviews across more than 170 Yelp ratings have kept this independent shop thriving for over four decades.
