Snow Summit and the surrounding area offer an expansive network of trails and roads, most of which are fantastic for hiking and are accessible from the top of the Scenic Sky Chair. The shortest, most direct route down the mountain is one of the service roads on the ski area. Breathtaking views of Big Bear Lake and blooming wildflowers can be seen as you make your way down the mountain. For a longer hike, head out behind the View Haus, down to Skyline Drive (2N10) which traverses across the ridgeline offering spectacular views of the Santa Ana River Valley and San Gorgonio Mountain.

Wildflowers and Wildlife

During spring and early summer months, several types of wildflowers are typically in full bloom alongside the mountain trails and roads all across the Big Bear Valley. There are amazing varieties of birds living near Snow Summit during the summer months, all singing their own special song. Keep your eyes peeled and you may spot a deer or young fawn slowly walking across the ski slopes or a gray squirrel running through the pine forest.
