Above the Boom
Take your Fourth of July to new heights at the Above the Boom fireworks viewing party, featuring a Scenic Sky Chair ride, live entertainment, and panoramic views of the Southern California’s largest fireworks show from the top of Snow Summit. The adventure begins with a ride on our Scenic Sky Chair through the San Bernardino National Forest to the top of the mountain (elev. 8,200 feet) leading up to the grand finale – the Big Bear Fireworks Spectacular.
This event is on July 4 at Snow Summit.

Bike Parks
The dirt on the mountain is tacky, rather than the loose stuff you’ll find at the beach or in the desert, which trans- lates into amazing traction under your knobby tires. With more than 57 miles of trails on the mountain — plus 20 miles of Forest Service roads adjacent — there’s something for everyone. Those who have never ventured off-road before, as well as hardcore pros and everyone in between, can find a stretch of trail that’s perfect for their skill level.
Bear Mountain Golf Course
It’s no secret that SoCal is one of the world’s great golf locales. From Pebble Beach to Palm Springs, there are countless courses to choose from, but there are still a few hidden gems out there. Case in point: Bear Mountain Golf Course — located next to its well-known winter name- sake — offers an idyllic alpine setting for players of all ages and abilities, with lush fairways, rolling greens and vistas of the sun-splashed San Bernardino Mountains throughout the summer season.
Hiking
If you're looking for a fun, low-cost way to get out and explore the great outdoors, head to Snow Valley or Snow Summit to explore some of the best hiking trails in Southern California, featuring picturesque lake views, snow-covered peaks, and more. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or an all-day adventure, our mountains have options for all ages and abilities.
