Snow Valley Ski Resort

Snow Valley Mountain Resort is all about family, friends, and fun. Located in Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains, the resort is just minutes from Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs. Snow Valley is closer to home than other Big Bear resorts, with plenty of wide open terrain for skiers and boarders. From Slide Peak to Schighridj Terrain Park, it’s 240 acres of snow-filled fun and challenge both day and night. Come for the day or stay for the week!

Although famous for getting more natural snow than other Southern California resorts, Snow Valley is equipped with a state-of-the-art snowmaking system to help assist Mother Nature. So, even if Snow Valley doesn’t get an early winter, snow is made as soon as conditions allow.

Schighridj Terrain Park, Snow Valley’s premier terrain park, is 3,240 feet of vertical downhill fun and adventure. With plenty of hits, spines, banks and tabletops, you can spend all day at Schighridj and never come down the same way twice. It’s got plenty of challenge and action thanks to the daily grooming by our crew and an abundance of snowmaking machines as back-up to Mother Nature.

And skiers don’t take a back seat at Snow Valley. We offer 11 lifts and more than 30 trails, clearly marked for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The Ski Zone is made up of mixed terrain from challenging moguls to wide-open straight-aways from Mambo Alley to Slide Peak. Snow Valley’s Ski Zone proves itself a perfect place for snowboarders and skiers to co-exist harmoniously.
