Snow Summit Trail Map

Snow Summit has been one of the most renowned winter sports locales in Southern California since it was founded by Tommi and Jo Tyndall in 1952. Jo’s son, Dick Kun (1940-2016), took over management duties in 1961 and remained the resort’s owner and operator until 2014. Snow Summit is part of the Big Bear Mountain Resort, along with Bear Mountain, and is owned by Alterra Mountain Company.

Snow Summit has the most consistent snow conditions in Southern California thanks to an extensive snowmaking system, featuring more than 500 hydrants, 300 snow guns, and 40 fans capable of converting 6,000 gallons of water to snow per minute. With that sort of capacity and the most operating days per season in SoCal, it’s no wonder Snow Summit was selected to host the inagural Winter X Games in 1997.
