Hours of Operation

This hours page provides the most up-to-date operating schedules for Snow Valley, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain. Because we are a ski and snowboard resort, our operations depend heavily on conditions and weather, which can change rapidly in mountain areas. Please check this page frequently, especially before heading up, even on the day of your visit, as hours and openings may change. We also encourage you to read the Daily Message each day for important updates and an overview of current operations. Hours are subject to change at anytime.

26/27 Opening Day Is Not Confirmed


While we’d love to give you an official opening date, the truth is, Mother Nature is the boss, and she hasn’t told us yet. We most likely won’t know until around mid-November, when temperatures begin to drop and we’re able to turn on our snowmaking systems. Once conditions are right, things can move quickly. That’s just how winter works here in Southern California: when the weather says go, we go! We’re also heading into an El Niño season, which could mean colder temperatures and, hopefully, plenty of snow.

You can purchase winter products online today with a start date of November 21, 2026. Please keep in mind that November 21 is the earliest date the resorts may open for the 26/27 winter season, it is not a confirmed opening date.
