Lifted: A Guide to Big Bear Ski Season Passes

If you’ve been to Big Bear in the winter, then you know that the top activity is hitting the slopes at Bear Mountain or Snow Summit. Go to new heights, with Snow Summit at an elevation of 8,200 ft. and Bear Mountain at 8,805 ft. Both resorts offer great options for beginners and advanced snowboarders or skiers alike. The best way to truly take advantage of all your shredding opportunities is by purchasing a Big Bear ski season pass. Before doing this though, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to make the right choice.

Plan Your Ski Season in Big Bear

Big Bear Mountain Resort offers a winter playground with terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. With access to Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, pass holders enjoy diverse runs, terrain parks, and scenic alpine views all season long. Pair your adventure with a cozy stay through Destination Big Bear cabin rentals, giving you the perfect home base just minutes from the lifts.

Which Big Bear Ski Season Pass is Right for You?

Season passes are different from single- or multi-day lift tickets because they give the owner (pass holder) access to a resort for the duration of the season. Most season passes include a defined level of resort access and/or pass holder benefits that are unavailable to guests that only purchase lift tickets.
