At the top of Snow Summit you have plenty of trail options for all skill levels, no matter if you are a beginner or an expert. And the best is: You don't have to pedal uphill, just take the chairlift and choose from over ten downhill runs and over 60 miles of singletrack. Sounds tempting, right?

Hiking

The ski resort here is quite popular in the winter, and the trails make Snow Summit a popular hiking and mountain biking destination in the summer. The peak rests at 8173 ft and looks out across Big Bear Lake to Gold, Bertha, and Delamar Mountains.
