Snow
Summit in the Summertime
Snow
Summit opens Friday June 13 for hiking, mountain biking, and sightseeing seven
days a week. Mountain bikers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts rejoice! On
Friday, June 13, Snow Summit will expand its operations for the 2014 summer
season by opening for seven days a week. The mountain, which had previously
only been open Fridays-Sundays, will maintain daily operations for the
remainder of the summer.
“We’re
excited to expand our hours for daily operations,” said Chris Riddle, Vice
President of Marketing for Big Bear Mountain Resorts. “That’s four extra days
of enjoying the mountain every week. Whether you’re grabbing your bike and
heading to the Snow Summit Bike Park, or you’re throwing on your hiking boots,
it’s going to be a great season at Snow Summit!”
Mountain
bikers may notice a few changes to popular trails. The Snow Summit Trail Crew
and Gravity Logic have re-routed the Westridge Trail. Crews are also working on
additional improvements to the Skyline Trail. A brand new, top-to-bottom
beginner trail is also slated to open later this summer. As always, mountain
bikers can enjoy dozens of other downhill and cross-country trails, as well as
new features in the Bike Park that will change throughout the season.
In
addition to lift-serviced downhill mountain biking, Snow Summit and Forest
Service trails offer plenty of trails for cross-country mountain biking.
Cross-country and downhill mountain bike rentals for all skill levels are
available in the base area.
Other
summertime activities include: hiking, sightseeing, and the Scenic Sky Chair.
Guests
can take in breathtaking views at 8,200 feet from the Scenic Sky Chair and
spend the day enjoying the outdoors, wildlife, and fresh mountain air while
hiking Snow Summit’s many trails. Or, visitors can take a break from the action
and relax with games, delicious BBQ, and 360 degree alpine views at the View
Haus restaurant located atop Snow Summit.
