O.K. - my caveat to this review is that we are not big snow sports people. So, someone who is a big ski/snow board person may have been to bigger mountains with better runs, etc. I'm a complete newbie. So, take what I say with a grain of salt.

This is an amazing mountain! The views are remarkable, and definitely worthy of visiting again & again! I highly recommend this mountain anytime of the year! You will not be disappointed!

Good food and drink facilities at very reasonable prices considering where it is! Also with free all day parking right at the base of the mountain!

To ski on the weekend, this place is not bad. Lots of snowboarders though. It is not Tahoe but great if you miss Tahoe. We got to do Jumps in the advance area and it was good fun! Recommended for a quick ski trip if you are in Los Angeles. Only two hours away from Los Angeles.

we went during probably the busiest week of the year. it was very crowded in the lodge, but not too much so on the slopes which were nicely maintained.

We spent a weekend snowboarding Bear Mountain and actually loved it. It's not Tahoe, but its worth the trip if you are in the Los Angeles area. Good beginner runs, but much better for intermediate boarders.

The slightly more advanced route had tricks and jumps and fun stuff for you adventure-seekers! The easy trail was very simple, made one run down and went running... More

too many crazy snowboarders that have no etiquitte. the black diamond runs are nice and long, longer than snow summits but the intermediate and beginner runs are better at snow summit. the nice thing is you can shuttle back and forth between the two on the free shuttle if you have all day.
