Every year, when the snow melts and summer makes its way to the San Bernardino Mountains, Big Bear Mountain Resort transforms into an oasis for mountain bikers with two locations - Snow Valley and Snow Summit - offering some of the region's best lift-served downhill and cross-country riding.

Despite their wintery names, Snow Valley and Snow Summit bike parks are two of the most renowned destinations in mountain biking, with terrain for all ages and abilities. Whether you prefer adrenaline-pumping downhill trails, scenic cross-country treks, or want to take some leisurely laps around town, there's plenty to explore and enjoy at Big Bear Mountain Resort.
