Snow Summit

Bear Mountain is proud to be named #1 Park in the Nation by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine's 2009 Resort Poll. THE PARK is built by riders for riders, and this recognition is a testament to Bear's excellent staff and our commitment to providing you with one of the most progressive terrain parks in the country.

Spread over 198 acres, THE PARK delivers 150 jumps, more than 80 jibs, Southern California's only Superpipe, one standard halfpipe and plenty of exclusive designs. The park staff at Bear Mountain keeps it fresh by consistently redesigning and upgrading their most influential terrain park features in an effort to provide you with a unique riding and skiing experience. The jumps, rails, signature jibs, boxes and other creative beginner to advanced features at Bear provide the perfect framework for all your park riding needs.

Jumps and Pipes

Some of our pro team riders learned right here at Big Bear Mountain Resorts where we have beginner to advanced features. No matter what level skier or snowboarder you are, Bear Mountain has jumps of every shape and size for all ages and abilities that will allow you to advance at your own pace. Spines, hips, transfers, cheese wedges, rollers and bumps are just a few of the types of jumps you can expect at Bear as well as Southern California's only Superpipe. Stretching nearly 600 feet long, 77 feet wide and 18 feet deep, you can drop in and jet out all the way back to the lift line. A standard halfpipe is also available to sharpen your pipe-riding skills.

Jibs

During the off-season, Park Staff builds and maintains all of our terrain park features to make sure they are in perfect form for the coming winter. The rails, boxes, signature jibs and other unique beginner to advanced features at Bear provide the perfect framework for all your jibbing needs. Our park staff and pro team regularly test our evolving jib collection to ensure the features in THE PARK are all-time!

The Scene

The Scene is located just out front of the 13,000 sq ft sundeck. Have a drink, grab a bite and then go hike! New freestyle features such as our signature jibs, boxes, rails, logs, and tanks are typically introduced in The Scene before they are laid out on the mountain. Park Staff rolls out new creations throughout the season to give you something new to look for each time you hit the snow.
