Description: The "Scenic Sky Chair" opens on May 8, weekends only, weather and conditions permitting. The ski lift opens daily from June 12 through September 5, is open on weekends only beginning September 4, and closes once ski season opens. For novice riders, the Bristlecone Trail, east of the base area, and Towne Trail (my favorite!!) to the west offer gentle, rolling terrain that is a perfect introduction to mountain biking. Intermediates will find slightly more challenging terrain at the top of the Scenic Sky Chair, including Skyline Drive, which rolls across the top of the ridge with great views of Big Bear Lake. A short, steep, single-track climb takes you to Grandview Point, which is a great spot to take a break and is the starting point of a thrilling downhill ride to Towne Trail and back to Snow Summit. It's a nine-mile loop and one of the most popular rides in the area. Those who are looking for more time in the saddle can stay on Skyline Drive all the way to the Champion Lodgepole Pine and then loop back to the resort, making an epic 16-miler.
