One of Southern California's Most Popular Resorts

by nghiemr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 09 '01
Pros: Wide, spacious trails; variety of trails and parks.
Cons: Slightly more expensive than other local resorts.
Snow Summit Resort in Southern California is like a miniature Big Bear Lake within Big Bear Lake, with its wooden buildings that resemble many of the country-style shops and cabins around town. One huge advantage it has over its neighboring rival...

The best snowboard park in southern California.

by suyu_li , Dec 02 '99
Pros: there is man-made snow
Cons: there just isn't any powder in southern California
Snow Summit has the best boardpark around, but you should also check out Bear Mountain for better terrain in general. Snow Summit, Bear Mountain, and maybe Snow Valley are the only real places to be going in southern California. All the others are a...

I hate settling

by meetmissy , Feb 14 '00
Pros: Easy drive from So Cal, 1/2 day credit on tickets returned by 1pm, lift lines well managed by staff
Cons: sloshy by afternoon - little 'real' snow
When it comes to snowboarding it's my passion.
I love it - I love the fact that you can pack up a car and drive 2 hours and you are in the snow.
Wait did I say snow ???
I mean the man-made kind. (at least for the most part here in CA)

Riding is life. Word is bond. Summit is sweet.

by RakDaddy , Oct 27 '99
Pros: Long season, close to LA, cheap local eats and housing
Cons: Crowded weekends and holidays, altitude makes tourists stupid
So, I'm a local. Not a local to SoCal; I live in Big Bear. My office is right down the street from Summit; I can go any time I want, and often do.

Now, here's the deal: for all of you who come from places where it snows all time (NorCal,...

Snow Summit Rocks

by deadcoil , Nov 16 '99
Pros: Awesome terrain, snow grooming is flawless, fun place to ski.
Cons: Weekends are packed.
I grew up for a good deal of my life in Big Bear Lake, a mountain town north of the metro areas of Southern California. I have been skiing since I was 5, thanks to the Big Bear School District having a deal for local children, and it's one of my great...

Snow Summit moving to the Top

by Arsinol21 , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Lots of good jumps and great snowmakers
Cons: Not very big jumps in the regular parks
My favorite place to snowboard would definately Snow Summit. There are very many fun jumps, large quarterpipes, and a very well put together half-pipe. I learned to ride half-pipe at the Snow Summit resort. The last time I went was on December 28th,...

Great for local So Cal

by willey21 , Dec 01 '99
Pros: best of so. cal mts.
Cons: often icy, not cheap
When skiing, snowboarding in Southern California, you can't expect to have great conditions. Knowing that, you look for the best possible resort around. Snow Summit is just that. While conditions at Summit are rarely stellar, they are almost always...

Snow Summit is a cheap gift to LA

by lila , Nov 20 '99
Pros: Low prices, good jumps
Cons: Icy, and small
If the only ski resort you've ever been to is Snow Summit, I'm sure you'd enjoy it. However, my circumstances are much different. Last winter I went to North Lake Tahoe for a week, and snowboarded my brains out. Lightly snowing half the time, the...

The only exception in SoCal

by sexcrider , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Long runs, good park, nice terrain
Cons: Ice, ice, ice.....crowds, a little pricy-but worth it
Snow...California? What is anyone thinking? If you come out here expecting to find any good snow, think again. If you already acknowledge that you'll only find man-made, then Snow Summit is the only place I recommend you go in order to find it. So...

Southern California's Best Resort

by Mr.Roberts , Mar 24 '00
Pros: It's in southern Ca, and if it hasn't snowed, they'll make it.
Cons: Vail prices, with less than desirable service
Snow Summit is ideal for those driving from the greater Los Angeles and San Diego areas. I have literally been there hundreds of times. Although Snow Summit is not as large as Colorado and Utah resorts, it has a lot offer.
Of course the proximity to...

Snow Summit, CA

by sleektony888 , May 14 '00
Pros: Short lift lines = more ski/board time
Cons: Food is expensive on the mountain, pack a lunch
In March, 15" of fresh powder fell on the slopes of an affordable family oriented ski resort located near Big Bear, CA. Snow Summit was it's name. I was quite impressed by its short lift lines, excellent parking/shuttle service, and overall cost...

by Invisible , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Great Snow, and great park
Cons: long lines
Recentally i visted Snow Summit. I was very impressed with the amount of snow that they had considering the dry season this year. I later found out that Snow Summit has the best snow making system in the world! I was very impressed with that.
