Big Bear Is Home To The Largest Snowmaking Systems In The World!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

The most dependable snow conditions in Southern California can be found in Big Bear. Where natural snowfall is often in short supply, it takes one of the largest snowmaking systems in the world and thousands of hours in operation to cover 198 acres with this intricate  system.

 

Over the course of a season, Bear Mountain will construct more than 150 snow features that include jumps of all shapes and sizes. In fact, most of the runs at both resorts are very meticulously groomed each and every night.

 

Both resorts maintain all features nightly to provide you with the most consistent surfaces and shapes possible. So make sure you come and experience the most innovative and best maintained freestyle features in the parks at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit.
