The Slopes are in Session

Elevate your Skills & Make Some Mountaintop Memories During Ski Week
Ski Week is a Southern California staple, like palm trees, the Hollywood sign, and traffic on the 405. It’s the perfect time to put down the pencils, take a break from the books, and head to Big Bear Mountain Resort, where peak alpine adventure is always in session.

Come take advantage of prime mid-winter conditions at Snow Valley, Snow Summit, or Bear Mountain, with learning programs for all ages and abilities that focus on the 3 R’s: riding, ripping, and reaching your full potential on the slopes.

Plus, all lesson reservations include special add-on savings for lift tickets and equipment rentals – making it easy to turn your time off into time well spent in SoCal’s snow capital.

Lift Tickets
Class is Dismissed, Time to Hit the Slopes
Ski Week is here, and every great ski day starts with a lift ticket. If you don’t already have a season pass, our Triple Pack+ is the perfect Ski Week solution. It includes three non-dated lift tickets on one card, designed for one skier or rider—use them anytime during the season.

Kids’ Triple Pack+ start at $119 (just $39 a day!), making it an easy A+ for families.
