General info: 

Snow Summit Mountain Resort is sister mountain of nearby Bear Mountain, but has its own appeal to SoCal skiers and riders. The resorts are about two miles apart and are connected via a free inter-mountain express shuttle service. Snow Summit sits at 7,000 feet and is a full service winter resort with all types of lodging accommodations available nearby, shops, full service restaurants, and after-ski entertainment. When there are fresh tracks to be had, The Wall, Dicky’s, and Olympic runs serve up challenging, steep terrain for advanced skiers and riders, while Miracle Mile and Log Chute are ideal intermediate cruisers. Snow Summit also has several freestyle parks including Ego Trip, the Skyline Creek Fun Zone and the popular Westridge. Here's a bit of history: Snow Summit was very possibly the first ski area in America to make its own snow.
