Snow Summit

Snow Summit is an operating ski area in Big Bear Lake, California, sitting at 8,182 feet elevation with 1,221 vertical feet of terrain. The resort offers skiing and snowboarding during the winter season, drawing visitors to the San Bernardino area's reliable snow conditions. The relatively compact vertical and accessible location make it a practical day-trip destination for Southern California skiers and riders.

Access is straightforward from Southern California population centers via Highway 18, and the resort operates whenever snow conditions permit—typically from December through early spring. Like most California ski areas, Snow Summit's season and snow reliability depend heavily on winter precipitation, so conditions can vary year to year.
