Scenic Sky Chair
Take a ride on the Scenic Sky Chair to enjoy panoramic views of the San Bernardino National Forest on a mile-long ascent before arriving at the top of Snow Valley (elevation 7,841 feet) or Snow Summit (elevation 8,200 feet). This one-of-a-kind activity is perfect for outdoor adventurers of all ages.
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.
Basecamp Activities
Enjoy a 30-foot climbing wall, Euro Bungee trampoline, and zip line. All activities are located in the Snow Summit base area, next to the Adventure Academy. Play longer with extended holiday hours:
Friday, September 4 & Monday, September 7
• 10AM-4PM
Saturday, September 5 - Sunday, September 6 (Labor Day)
• 10AM-5:30PM
Please note that after Labor Day, Snow Summit's operations will shift to Friday-Sunday only.
