Gridiron on the Granite: Bear Bowl X at Bear Mountain

Forget the stadium seats, the biggest game of the season is happening on snow. On February 7, 2026, Bear Bowl X returns to Bear Mountain, turning the base area into a high-altitude football gauntlet. It’s where speed, agility, and precision meet the crisp air of the San Bernardino National Forest.

What Makes Bear Bowl X So Beloved by Family and Friends

Bear Bowl X blends amicable rivalry with a warm alpine setting. Families take pleasure in observing squads facing off while soaking up the thrill at Bear Mountain. The occasion emphasizes collaboration, neighborhood feeling, and lasting memories made together.

The Playbook: What to Expect at Bear Bowl X

This isn’t your average backyard toss. Bear Bowl X is a rugged, team-based competition designed to test your mountain fitness through a series of snow-packed challenges.

  • The Gauntlet: Teams of four face off in a relay-style course featuring tire drills, agility sprints, and field goal kicking—all on the snow.

  • The Stakes: Bragging rights are good; a BBMR Anytime Season Pass or heavy-hitting gift cards are better.

  • The Vibe: Free registration, high-stakes rivalry, and a live performance at 3:00 PM to close out the day.
