Mountain Biking Big Bear Mountain Resort

When it comes to mountain biking in Southern California, Big Bear Mountain Resort (BBMR) is often the first place that comes to mind. BBMR has two bike parks โ€“ Snow Valley and Summit Bike Park โ€“ offering lift-served access to some of the Golden Stateโ€™s best trails, terrain, and features.
Nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, the two bike parks are accessible from the Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and high desert regions, giving riders of all ages and abilities, from first-timers to full-senders, a chance to ride both sides in the same day.
For decades, Summit Bike Park has set the standard for the SoCal MTB scene, hosting some of the biggest events in the bike industry, from NORBA nationals to MTB World Cup races, and everything in-between.

Located at the Snow Summit ski area in Big Bear Lake, Summit Bike Park features an eclectic mix of downhill and cross-country terrain in a true alpine setting that offers plenty of panoramic views and opportunities for high-altitude adventure.

The park also has a full range of on-site amenities and services, including bike rentals and repairs, group and private lessons, sports shop, multiple dining venues and plenty of activities for non-bikers, like a 30-foot climbing wall, zip line, tubing lanes, and hiking trails.

Just down the road โ€“ about 13 miles west as the crow flies, just above the town of Running Springs โ€“ Snow Valley Bike Park has long been considered the best kept secret in Southern California, thanks to the parkโ€™s accessible location, some sneaky good intermediate and advanced terrain, and Friday twilight sessions that give riders chance to get some warm-up laps in before the weekend begins.

Snow Valley joined Big Bear Mountain Resort, which also oversees operations at Snow Summit, Summit Bike Park, Bear Mountain, and Bear Mountain Golf Course โ€“ last winter when it was acquired by BBMRโ€™s parent company, Alterra Mountain Company. Under terms of the agreement, Snow Valley is scheduled to see significant investments in the years to come, so get your laps before the secret gets out.
