Bear Mountain and Snow Summit's Terrain Parks are perennially rated among the best in the country thanks to our award-winning Park Crew’s dedication to constantly push the limit of what’s possible when it comes to park progression. During the holidays, you will find more features across Snow Summit and Bear Mountain to give you plenty to do this holiday.

For the first couple of weekends after Opening Day, Bear Mountain will still be working on renovation projects at Laybacks Bar, Methods Sports Bar & Coffee, and the rental shop.

All equipment rentals must be picked up at the Adventure Academy for the time being. Bear Mountain live cams will be available after all renovation projects are completed and the Wi-Fi networks are restored to full strength.
