Local Life · Recreation
Big Bear is a year-round playground — two ski resorts in winter, a high-altitude golf course and a bike park in summer, and a lake made for boating, fishing and paddling all season long.

Recreation is the whole point of Big Bear, and it's what keeps rental demand strong. Here's the year-round menu.
Snow Summit (about 240 acres of terrain for all levels) and Bear Mountain (home to award-winning terrain parks and the region's highest lift-served peak at 8,805 feet) sit two miles apart as Big Bear Mountain Resort — Southern California's premier ski and snowboard destination.
The Bear Mountain Golf Course is a nine-hole course at about 7,000 feet with big San Bernardino Mountain views, a driving range and lessons. In summer the resort runs a lift-served bike park with 60+ miles of trails, plus a climbing wall and zip line.
Big Bear Lake is the summer centerpiece — boating, trout and bass fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and parasailing — while the surrounding San Bernardino National Forest offers 100+ miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails.
