Jumps and Pipes

Some of our pro team riders learned right here at Big Bear Mountain Resorts where we have beginner to advanced features. No matter what level skier or snowboarder you are, Bear Mountain has jumps of every shape and size for all ages and abilities that will allow you to advance at your own pace. Spines, hips, transfers, cheese wedges, rollers and bumps are just a few of the types of jumps you can expect at Bear as well as Southern California’s only Superpipe. Stretching nearly 600 feet long, 77 feet wide and 18 feet deep, you can drop in and jet out all the way back to the lift line. A standard halfpipe is also available to sharpen your pipe-riding skills.

Jibs

During the off-season, Park Staff builds and maintains all of our terrain park features to make sure they are in perfect form for the coming winter. The rails, boxes, signature jibs and other unique beginner to advanced features at Bear provide the perfect framework for all your jibbing needs. Our park staff and pro team regularly test our evolving jib collection to ensure the features in THE PARK are all-time!

The Scene

The Scene is located just out front of the 13,000 sq ft sundeck. Have a drink, grab a bite and then go hike! New freestyle features such as our signature jibs, boxes, rails, logs, and tanks are typically introduced in The Scene before they are laid out on the mountain. Park Staff rolls out new creations throughout the season to give you something new to look for each time you hit the snow.
