Steeps & Canyons

Skiing in Snowy Trees at Big BearBear Mountain is proud to offer skiers and snowboarders almost 1,700 vertical feet of top-to-bottom beginner-through-expert terrain spanning four mountain peaks and encompassing several perfectly groomed and powder-packed runs. Silver Mountain is home to three very popular advanced runs and provides great access to Deer and Goldmine canyons. Geronimo is the highest, steepest and most advanced run in Southern California and offers great access to Deer and Bow canyons. This run is for expert skiers and riders only! To get to Geronimo, take the high-speed quad chairlift, Access Express, to chairlift #8.

When the snow gets deep and powder is present, Bear Mountain offers hundreds of acres of undeveloped canyon terrain! Deer, Goldmine and Bow Canyons serve up some of the best tree skiing and riding inside the boundaries of a resort in Southern California. When the canyons get tracked out, check out the additional acres of backcountry by way of Bear’s resort boundaries (check in with mountain patrol before leaving resort boundaries.)

Going off designated runs can be dangerous. These areas are not patrolled or maintained. Go at your own risk.
