Whatever your preference may be, you might be surprised that Snow Summit delivers on all fronts.

For your park rats, Westridge has it all. The jibs, the jumps, and everything in between. Or go check out the Ego Trip Superpark. Huge features meticulously maintained for your shredding pleasure. If you are a Geronimo fan, look no further than Snow Summit’s chair 6 and black diamond runs: The Wall, Olympic, and Off chute.

Bear Open WEEKENDS Only

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Due to business winding down, Bear Mountain will not operate midweek but will be open on weekends! Bear Mountain Season Passes are valid at Snow Summit. The type of season pass still applies to the Snow Summit offer.  Snow Summit will be open through at least April 18th and possibly longer with 100% open terrain. Head to Summit today and get in some fresh pow turns! El Nino hasn’t given up yet. It began snowing early this morning with 3 inches of fresh powder so far, and it’s expected to snow several more inches today and possibly up to a foot. With all of this new snow and below average temperatures this week, the snow conditions will be excellent.
