ADA, Children, and Restrictions

Are strollers allowed on the lifts?

Yes, strollers are allowed on the lifts. Operators will hang empty strollers from a bike carrier. Please note that once you reach the top, the terrain is all dirt, which may make it difficult to maneuver a stroller, especially on trails like the Mountain Top Loop.

Are wheelchairs allowed on the lifts?

Yes, we permit wheelchairs on the lifts. Guests using wheelchairs will need to transfer to a carrier. Operators will then load and secure the wheelchair onto a bike carrier. Unfortunately, we do not have a ramp for direct wheelchair boarding.

How do young children (babies) sit on the lifts?

Children will have their own seat on the carrier. Parents should also hold onto their child during the ride. All guests must lower the bar as there are no seat belts on the lifts.

Can babies be in front backpacks worn by parents?

Babies can be carried in front or back packs, but they must be removed from the carrier and placed on a seat during the lift ride. Parents should securely hold onto their child.

What if a family or older individual needs more time to board the lift?

Lift operators are happy to accommodate guests who need extra time to board. They can slow down or stop the chairlift upon request, both at the top and bottom terminals. We recommend communicating your needs to the operator at the bottom terminal before boarding.

Are there height restrictions for children on the lifts?

Children smaller than 48 inches must be accompanied by another guest taller than 48 inches. Otherwise, there are no height, weight, or age restrictions.

Using Gift Cards, ACV, and other Forms of Payment
Gift Cards, Pass Holder Discounts, Pass Cash, and Activity Change Vouchers cannot be applied online at this time. These forms of payments can only be used in-person or by calling 844.GO2.BEAR. Credit card tokenization is the process of de-identifying sensitive cardholder data by converting it to a string of randomly generated numbers called a "token." Similar to encryption, tokenization obfuscates the original data to render it unreadable in the event of a data breach or other exposure. If you are having issues with your card, please call your bank directly.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Guests may change or cancel lift ticket, lesson, rental, or activity reservations up to 3 full days prior to the scheduled date for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made within 3 days, up until the day prior to the scheduled date, will result in an Activity Change Voucher being issued for the full value of the activity cost (no fee). Same-day changes, cancellations, or failure to show up to your activity will result in a full forfeit of your payment. Once you make a purchase, if those funds are removed from Big Bear Mountain Resort's account and given back to you, your purchased tickets will become void and irredeemable for entry. Fraudulent attempts to force a bank or credit card chargeback by claiming you didn’t make the ticket purchase or can’t identify the purchase on your bank statement will result in being barred from attending future events hosted by Big Bear Mountain Resort. Promotional sales or events including but not limited to Glow Golf and Above the Boom, do not qualify for refunds. All sales are final.
Risk Warning
Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities have inherent risks that may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. GUESTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND ASSUME ALL INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATING IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. All guests must follow the Big Bear Mountain Resort rules of conduct and NSAA Responsibility Code. Visit the Safety page for complete details. Lift tickets and season passes may be suspended or revoked without refund at any time for failure to comply with resort rules, misconduct, nuisance, reckless behavior, or fraudulent use. Anyone attempting to use a lift ticket or season pass fraudulently or in a manner for which it is not intended is subject to prosecution under California Penal Code 537(b). Facilities under permit from the U.S. Forest Service.
Policy on Lift Ticket Purchases & Age Verification
Anyone found purchasing child tickets for personal use as adult tickets will be deemed engaging in fraudulent activity. Big Bear Mountain Resort is committed to rigorously enforcing the utilization of tickets in accordance with their designated age categories. Any patrons discovered using tickets intended for a different age category will be promptly escorted from the resort and may incur additional consequences, potentially including a ban from future visits to Big Bear Mountain Resort.
Avoid Fraud
Lift tickets are non-transferable and are not for resale. Violators may be prosecuted under California Penal Code 537 PC. To ensure the safety of our guests and employees, all ski, snowboard, and bike lessons at Big Bear Mountain Resort must be booked with a certified, BBMR instructor. Anyone found offering/selling or purchasing a 3rd party/non-BBMR lesson at BBMR will forfeit their resort access, including lift privileges, and be subject to prosecution, pursuant to California Penal Code 537 PC.
