Snow Summit at Big Bear is a lift served mountain bike park that opens in the early summer. For more information and current hours, click here.

Description

This trail is one of the easiest trails in the bike park! It starts off with some bermed turns and some really bumpy sections. The bumps are more from brake bumps than any technical obstacles. If you're going fast, they can even knock off your chain!

The trail continues weaving down the mountain crossing over Miracle Mile and passing the bottom of Party Wave before reaching the bottom.

Awesome trail, but they have made the trail easier by filling in the most difficult part with more dirt. Summer fast bermy goodness. 6mi — 3h 00m
